TIL there is a Darth Vader gargoyle on the National Cathedral of Washington DC
runswithjedi, It was from a design contest by kids in the 80s. How heartwarming ☺️
Here’s a more detailed article.
Here’s the original flyer announcing the winners.

all-knight-party, 
Damn, Chris Rader can draw a mean Vader. I am also quite partial to Raccoon on Lookout.
NeptuneOrbit, No images of the Bertha or Racoon grotesque. Can’t find them online. I guess I have to go find them myself…
roofuskit, Bertha taking that Grotesque name very seriously.
Sanctus, 
third place?
Muscar, 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?
NeptuneOrbit, 9/10 readers won’t know what a grotesque is
No_Eponym, 
It’s disgusting!
magikmw, Reading comprehension of general population is the real grotesque.
tacotroubles, Reading?! On my text based platform? I think not
Empricorn, What are those squiggly things between all the spaces?
Jackthelad, Obviously.
Why wouldn’t there be?!
