Dragon and Goat is a full-page color comic about…a dragon and a goat. Beginning in 2003, it ran as a four-panel newspaper comic 5 days a week for about six years until it gradually evolved into the full-page full-color glory of the recent Dragon and Goat Adventures like Thyme Bandit and The S’Parktacular S’Particles.
The serial comics from the papers also became their own books. From Pi-Rat Island to Journey East, each page is a single strip, so it makes for easy reading for early comic readers and those are good starting points but really the books are all self contained adventures so you can pretty much pick them up wherever you want to start.
Most of the books are available online through Amazon, (aside from Thyme Bandit which is only available via our site) and we’re working to get more books available through the site to side-step the book behemoth’s hegemony.

DRAGON and GOAT (full-page comics)
Thyme Bandits (2017)

The ninth book in the Dragon and Goat series, The Thyme Bandit marks the 15th anniversary of Dragon and Goat’s debut in comics. The comic that began as a daily comic strip in newspapers running 5 days a week for six years, is now a full-page all ages comic for people who like to think (and laugh).

In The S’Parktacular S’Particles Dragon gets bored between free-lance dragooning gigs, and he tags along with Goat to Argonne National Laboratory where Goat is a Research Intern. When asked to stay in Goat’s office, Dragon obviously can’t sit still and goes off exploring on his own, finding his way into the highly super secret labs where he accidentally releases the S’Parktacular S’Particles. The three (to four) super cute and super destructive super girls may just very well break the universe while playing with it, unless Goat can stitch it back together!
