      No images of the Bertha or Racoon grotesque. Can’t find them online. I guess I have to go find them myself…

      Damn, Chris Rader can draw a mean Vader. I am also quite partial to Raccoon on Lookout.

    It’s a grotesque, as said in the link you posted, not a gargoyle. A gargoyle needs a spout to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. A grotesque is purely aesthetical.

    I understand not fully knowing this but why say gargoyle when the link clearly says grotesque both in the text and url?

      9/10 readers won’t know what a grotesque is

        Reading comprehension of general population is the real grotesque.
