Zakatarious, the pseudonym of Blaine Blaine, famously displayed and publicly worshipped a large papier-mâché Golden Calf around the Berkeley campus before self-publishing the present work. Later known under the alias “Goldcatcher,” Blaine became involved in the Zodiac case through his controversial accusations against former underground newspaper associate Richard Gaikowski.
