Hello, Greg :) Before I ask my questions, I'd like to say that I can't wait for the Gathering next summer. It'll be my first time going and I'm very excited!

Okay now for my questions! In "Grief" after the Emir summons Anubis' spirit from Jackal's body into his own, Jackal passes out and after Hyena and Wolf's energies are returned, they pass out as well. Obviously, we know the Pack lived after seeing the episodes "The Green" and "Vendettas". My questions are:

1) Do Wolf and Hyena remember what Jackal-Anubis did to them?
2) Does Jackal remember what he did to them and to that town when he became Anubis' avatar?
3) If Jackal did remember, do you think he might have tried pushing that out of his conscience, or did he really not care after realizing what he had done? The reason I ask this is because we know that Jackal doesn't give a crap about taking the lives of Gargoyles along with maybe one human life (specifically almost taking out Xanatos' in "Brother's Keeper"). But after claiming so many human lives, I'd love to know what his personal feelings were after the incident, if he even remembered it at all.

Thanks, good luck with everything and I'll see you at the Gathering!

Have you given any thought as to where legendary characters from Asian cultures like the Monkey King from Journey to the West and beings like Japanese snow women and nine tailed foxes fit in the gargoyle universe? How did the Children of Oberon fit into Japanese, Chinese, and Korean legends?

Greg,

I've written you in the past, but it's been years, and you definitely wouldn't remember me. Hi! I grew up. :)

I just need to say (again) THANK YOU for Gargoyles. That show sometimes feels like it was my first love... only it didn't end in fire and brimstone. I've been enjoying the comic, which revived my interest (although 'Bad Guys' hasn't arrived in my mailbox yet)... and then a friend of mine asked me about my DVDs, and we sat down and watched all of 'Awakening.' I converted someone! Yay! We'll be working our way through the series.

Which is why I'm writing. I know you hate this question, but hopefully this is slightly different.

The DVD. You know which one I'm talking about.

Who can I write to say that Season 2 Volume 2 needs to come out RIGHT NOW? I don't plan on flooding them with letters or postcards and being annoying. I know it's not your decision, so I kinda would like to contact the people that ARE responsible for making that decision. Give them a polite kick in the head, basically?

Some of my favorite episodes are in the chunk that hasn't been released yet. (Future Tense, for one - yes, I'm a Brooklyn/Demona shipper at heart and I'll admit that freely.) I have them on tape, but I'm a bit scared of watching them because I'm afraid I'll break them. (I've done it before.)

Anyway, thank you. For the show, for the comic, and for not letting it die. Although you don't know me (and I don't really know you!), I love you. :)

In "Double Jeopardy", Owen has been quoted in saying that Thailog is smarter than Xanatos. In your opinion,
a) does this statement remain to be a true from your point of view?
b) Is a character's intelligence something you consciously think about when writing his/her dialogue? For example, have you ever written dialogue for a character and said to yourself, "This doesn't sound like something this character would say!"?
c) Who is THE smartest character in the Gargoyle Universe, right now in 1996? Does any one particular character stand out in your mind?
