Gotta watch out for those tough Detroit Dragons. They tend to corrupt the young hatchlings with their shenanigans! Today's artist is the always wonderful Dana Atnip of GALACTIC DRAGONS. When little Pepper first hatched, Dana was quick to offer T-Bone as a dragon mentor for the hatchling. Needless to say, Bubble may wanna seek help from one of T-Bone's shipmates instead!

Dana is no stranger to these CRAZY parts! She's done fan art and guest comics before, always rendering them in her beautiful fairytale-like style. It's also interesting to note that she called it back in October of last year when I first introduced the mysterious giant egg into the comics. One day on Twitter, she tweeted me and said "ADMIT IT JON!!! THAT'S A DRAGON ISN'T IT?!" Had I said yes, eight months of story lines would've gone down the drain and then I'd have nothing! It didn't help that fellow cartoonists Cyndi Foster and Joie Brown also joined in on the hunt, hounding me weekly to the egg's contents! Thankfully it hatched without spoilers and everyone was happy. Especially Dana, who called it in the first place!

Thanks again Dana for the wonderful comic! And thank you T-Bone. Pepper is now sleeping on a mound of all my earthly possessions and won't stop guarding them!
