  • Staff Review:
    I only started reading John Porcellino's King-Cat Comics this last year. I had been aware of it for awhile, but the drawings never caught my attention. When I actually gave it a chance I found out how much the drawings complement the stories. They're quiet, humble and often pretty funny. In issue 68 John examines an anthill, recounts life antidotes of philosopher Diogenes and pays homage to his recently deceased cat, Maise. Memories are shared and an ordinary moment takes on a larger significance. It's John's view of the world that makes his comics so enjoyable. Despite any odds he may face there is always a feeling of hope and a gratefulness for being alive.

    No. 68 won't disappoint longtime readers and it's as good a place as any to start reading King-Cat.
