Hi, Greg...
Who was Elisa's cat Cagney named for? Jimmy Cagney? Cagney and Lacey? none of the above?
Thanks
Greg responds...
Michael or Brynne Reaves came up with that name. Originally I thought it was for Cagney & Lacey. After all, Elisa's a female police detective and Chris Cagney was a female police detective. Then I found out (from Michael) that Elisa's Cagney was male. So I guess he was named after Jimmy.

Oh, and a thought concerning Todd's previous comment:
<<I wonder if Bronx would ever eat dog food, BTW>>
I tend to think that Bronx would eat *anything*...
Greg responds...
That was the original plan, to make him an omnivore.

Dear Mr. Weisman,
First, simply, thank you for your continuing effort to revive the Gargoyles series and the attention you pay to its fans. as a stockholder of Disney, I send my proxy ballot in with "Bring back the Gargoyles" written under my vote. My annual write in for Goliath as board of directors has failed so far, but there is always next year.
I am preparing a poster presentation on the evolution of gargoyles (lower case "g")for the Gathering 2000 as an art display. Let me apologize for the assertion that gargoyles, due to anatomical features such as otic (ear) structure, mammae, hair, and others are in the Class Mammalia. The oviparous (egg laying) character places them with the Subclass Protheria (1 extant and 3 extinct orders). Their Order, Family, Genus and species classifications are yet to be determined. My audacity is based upon the excess of letters which follow my family name.
Now the questions
1) Should apterylus (without wings) gargoyles be considered parthenogenic (lays fertile, viable eggs without a mate)?
2) Proposed Genus and Species name: Diurnosominus lapidermis (stone skinned day sleeper). Apterylus lapidermic for Bronx. Sound OK?
Your delightful characters have also resulted in a few stories of my own, but let's not go there.
Greg responds...
Uh, some of this is over my head, but...
As I've said before (see the Gargoyle Science Archive here at ASK GREG), Gargoyles aren't Mammals, though they share some traits in common. We've dubbed them Gargates. A whole other class. (Which frankly frees me to create them as I see fit.) Gargoyle Beasts are also gargates. Is that what you're referring to in your first question? Cause Bronx is a male, and would need to mate with the female Boudicca to have any offspring.
2. Uh, I guess it sounds OK, but I'm not going to accept it as canon without doing some research on my own.

Dear Greg...
Topic Doggoyles Beasts:
1) Did you plan to have an Ep all about Bronx?
2) What was the name of the Beat in Ishimura?
3) Was there a beast in Guatamala and London?
Greg responds...
1. You mean in addition to "Hero of Ulster"? Yeah, sure.
2. I don't know.
3. Not in Guatemala, but yes, in London. (Or rather, just outside London.)
Maverick writes...
Greg;
Besides "A Bronx tail," in season 3 which I think you don't like talking about, were you going to give bronx his own ep?
Thanks!
Greg responds...
You mean besides "The Hero of Ulster"? Yeah, we would have given him more attention eventually.

Mr. Weisman,
If Bronx and Cagney were to meet how would they react to one another? I mean Sir. would they have a cat and dog fight or what?
Greg responds...
They have met. (Remember The Gathering, Part One?)
