Hello, Mr. Weisman. First of a big thanks for the fabulouse
show, a long story arc is a rare thing about most cartoons.
Now to the questions:

1.) In the Gathering it did strike me as odd, that Oberon
attacked the forceshield of Owens with brute force alone
for most of the episode, instead of blasting the unshielded
emitters, or diving through under it from the beginning
on. Since Titania seemed to have set this whole kidnapping
stuff up to get her Daughter to use magic, did Oberon
really attack in ernest, or did he see through this plot
and was just giving a performance?

2.) You mentioned earliere, that you planned to include almost
every myth around in the show. Was it just a coincidence
that Oberon after being hit by Petros with the iron harpoon
changed into something that could have easily passed as
count Draculas nephew?

3.) After the hit from the Harpoon, Oberon looked way old.
Is the more or less immortality of Oberons children
biological or just maintained by magic like shapeshifting ?

4.) About the gliding, You stated that the Gargoyls do store
up solar energy, as well as eating. How far are those
two processes interchangeable,

a) can a Gargoyl survive with solar energy onley, if he
uses very little of his strength, eg. doesnÝt fly, and

b) can he run with food alone, if he eats a real lot?

Greg responds...

1. I think Oberon's attack was in earnest. SO MUCH earnest
that he didn't think of the best method of attack until later.

2. The Dracula-nephew thing is your interpretation, but the
transformation wasn't a mistake. Nevertheless, we'd have hit Drac
eventually.

3. Hard to say. Check the Archives for a more complete answer.

4. I think both processes are essential. Breathing too. (GDW / 4-21-98)
