Geis of the Gargoyle

Piers Anthony is known for blending comedy with fantasy, but I'm curious how he balances humor with the more serious elements of the story. Did the humor evolve during writing or was it a deliberate choice from the start?

The way the book weaves in myth and legend adds a layer of depth to the humor and magic. Did these references influence how you connected with the characters or plot?

The gargoyle is such an unconventional hero—sympathetic but also humorous and quirky. Did that challenge or reinforce your expectations of fantasy heroes?
