B/c I like Richard Mace more?

Seriously though- it's a fair question, but isn't Jane Hampden from the same story even more deserving?  (Side note- in prose stories, it's suggested that both became actual companions for a while.)  And what about Commander Scott from "Earthshock", Bret Vyon or Vincent Van Gogh?  The picture would have been 4 times as big if I'd included every name I came up with when I started brainstorming this.  Like I said in the description, it's arbitrary and best not to take too seriously.

I have posted that comment everywhere I see Handles on social media and not one response. It's been two years and you're the first person to say something. Thank you. Lol.

Gareth was erased from history during the Time War, when the Dalek Time Controller purged Jimmy Saville out of existence for being too evil (even Daleks have their limits).

Mike and Danny are there (102 and 103- you may have missed Mike b/c it's the older version from the 4th Doctor "Hornet's Nest" audios, where he was more of a proper companion than the 3rd Doctor days).  But like it says right in the description- this was never meant to be a "complete" accounting of the companions.  It'd be a fool's errand, b/c who does and doesn't count as a companion is subjective, and new ones are being added all the time (Big Finish has announced two since this was finished).  Plus there's just the matter of making an aesthetically good picture.  

Wolfie's one of the ones I did deliberately snub.  His name was one that was on a list at one point and got cut (along with a good 30 other names or so).  It's no offense to the character, it's just that, like your comment implies... the DWA companions aren't exactly the best-known to most Who fans (I only know them myself  through the research for this).  There's only so much room in the pic, so I just took one from the 10th (Heather- made sense b/c of the Jamie connection and b/c she was the longest-running one) and Decky (for being non-human and visually interesting).

I do know they were there, I was just annoyed I didn't spot them. I was a kid when Heather was in the comics, and a grown up kid when Decky was, so I just have a slight soft spot for them. Not fussed about Wolfie, thought it might be because there were too many to squish into it. This is seriously brilliant though and I can't fathom how patient you must be to have done this as they are all recognisable, if the person seeing it is a big enough whovian. I apparently am not, so kudos to you for being more knowledgeable than me.

And quite a few of these 152 are either techically not canon, or not exactly "companions". If you include only TV he only had 43 companions technically. (as of the 50th anniversary)

1: Susan
2+3: Ian and Barbara
4: Vicki
5: Steven
6: Dodo
7+8: Ben and Polly
9: Jamie
10: Victoria
11: Zoe
12: Liz
13: Jo
14: Sarah Jane
15: Harry (I always forget to put him in companion lists)
16: Leela
17: K9
18: Romana
19: Adric
20: Nyssa
21: Tegan
22: Turlough
23: Kamelion
24: Peri
25: Mel
26: Ace
27: Grace

if you include the UNIT guys (brig, benton, yates) this becomes 30, and plus Katarina and Sara Kingdom it becomes 32.

33+34: Rose and Mickey
35: Adam
36: Jack Harkness
37: Martha
38: Donna
39: Wilf
40+41: Amy and Rory
42: River Song
43: Clara

Plus the ones canonized in the special...

44: Charley
45: C'Rizz
46: Lucie
47: Tamsin
48: Molly - so 48 companions if you include them.
