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<\/strong><\/em>, begun in 1989, has inspired a generation of cartoonists.<\/p>\n

Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man<\/strong><\/em>, a collection of King-Cat stories about Porcellino\u2019s experiences as a pest control worker, won an Ignatz Award in 2005, and Perfect Example<\/strong><\/em>, first published in 2000, chronicles his struggles with depression as a teenager. King-Cat Classix<\/strong><\/em> and Map of My Heart<\/strong><\/em>, published in 2007\/2009, offer a comprehensive overview of the zine’s first sixty-one issues, while Thoreau at Walden<\/strong><\/em> (2008) is a poetic expression of the great philosopher\u2019s 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.”
\n<\/em>Porcellino’s work has been translated into French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Italian, and Korean. He currently lives in South Beloit, Illinois.<\/p>\n
