18 Acknowledgements I\d like to f irst thank Dragon and Goat for letting me share their stories. After ten years of working with them, we have become close friends, and I\m excited to be working with them once again, celebrating our 10th anniversary. I\d also like to thank my parents, all four of them, for their constant support in my comicking and art. I consulted with young Taiyou Ishii of Cool Stuff Consulting, LLC, and I greatly appreciate his thoughts on the cover design. Finally I\d like to thank my chief editor/wife Alli for proofreading, giving invaluable feedback, and then reading everything again for the unending revisions before things go to press. Without her none of this would be possible. About Originally from East Tennessee, Adam Fotos is a Chicago-based comics artist, and the creator of Dragon and Goat. He began D&G as a daily comic strip over a decade ago at the University of Tennessee\s newspaper, The Daily Beacon. The comic ran for a year, f ive days a week, and then Dragon and Goat followed Adam to Shenzhen, China where they appeared in a full color weekly English language newspaper run by the Shenzhen Daily. The following year Dragon and Goat debuted in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\s Daily Illini where it continued to run for four years. Adam took a hiatus from D&G to begin the webcomic Cloud Arcadia, while working on his f irst graphic novel The Panopticorn, about a small town farmer in Southern Illinois. In March of 2013, Adam\s moving comic work Shostakovich Underground was featured in a performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Fotos currently teaches comics and art at Chicago State University and the College of DuPage. 42
