Hello, Mr. Weisman! First off let me say that I think you and your
team vastly improved the world by creating Gargoyles! Also, I appologize
in advance if any of these questions have been asked before (I have been
unable to view the full archive).
1)If a gargoyle is killed at night, what happens to the body? Does it
turn to stone one last time, or just stay flesh?
2a)Since Angela and the other "eggs" were raised on Avalon by two
medieval humans, does this mean that they have been raised as Christians (even
very generally)?
2b) If so, what does Angela think about the more undefined "religion"
the other Gargoyles follow?
3a) Since Hudson has facial hair, but not the others, does this mean
they shave? ;)
3b) (kinda silly but...) Could female gargs have facial hair (beards
and sideburns and such)?
4) Approximately how many gargoyles (including clans we never saw
during the show) were there alive during the course of the show?
Greg responds...
1. Stays flesh, as long as flesh stays flesh.
2a. Sort of. Certainly, with a sense of Christian values.
But neither the Princess, the Magus or Tom were particularly devout.
2b. I think (or at least I like to think) that the Magus taught
them a bit of that. He had time to research Gargoyle society between
the Massacre and the death of King Kevin. And he knew the eggs would
hatch eventually. He'd have wanted to do right by Goliath's children.
So I think they were raised with a sense of their own true faith. It's
sort of a Christianized version, with a healthy pagan influence, but I
doubt that the fairly non-intrusive religion of the Manhattan Gargoyles
would have been shocking. Interesting questions.
3a. It might. It's also possible that facial hair doesn't
exist on certain gargoyles and that on others it doesn't start to grow
in until the gargoyle is much older.
3b. I doubt it. Throughout the animal kingdom, males have a
plumage thing going. But, you never know.
4. I've never counted.
