Working on In Search of the Cuckoo Bird, my upcoming book from D+Q, collecting issues 69-76 of King-Cat. Here's a foto of my "Favorite TV Preacher" (KC 70, Sept. 2009), Charles Stanley, whose teachings consoled me on many a lonely Saturday night. #comics #zines #altcomics #comix #johnporcellino

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸
Pleased as King-Cat flavored punch to say that, overnight, folks in Rapid City and Laramie came to their states' cultural rescue and signed up! Now it's up to the fine citizens of the great state of Alaska to undo this anti-American wrong. Who will our next hero be? #comix #zines #altcomics #alaska
Watching the credits should be the default. Not watching them should be the option.
Need some folks in Alaska, Wyoming, and South Dakota to step up! Let's do this, people!!! #comics #zines #altcomics #wyoming #southdakota #alaska
From the White Buffalo Gazette, 2011. Look for this and more King-Cat oddities, outtakes, and ephemera in my book Miscellaneous Extraneous, coming from Drawn & Quarterly for the KC 40th Anniversary in 2029 (!?!?!).
I did this, and so can you! It was incredibly fun.
