About me:

JOHN PORCELLINO was born in Chicago, in 1968, and has been writing, drawing, and publishing minicomics, comics, and graphic novels for over twenty-five years. His celebrated self-published series KING-CAT COMICS, begun in 1989, has inspired a generation of cartoonists. DIARY OF A MOSQUITO ABATEMENT MAN, a collection of King-Cat stories about Porcellino’s experiences as a pest control worker, won an Ignatz Award in 2005, and PERFECT EXAMPLE, first published in 2000, chronicles his struggles with depression as a teenager. KING-CAT CLASSIX, published in 2007, is a comprehensive overview of the zine's first fifty issues, and his most recent book, THOREAU AT WALDEN, is a poetic expression of the great philosopher’s experience and ideals. According to cartoonist Chris Ware, "John Porcellino's comics distill, in just a few lines and words, the feeling of simply being alive." Porcellino currently lives in Denver with his wife Misun, and two Skweezil-Cats named Liz and Charlie. In Memory of: Maisie Kukoc Porcellino 1991-2007.
