It is our great pleasure to have the opportunity to interview John Porcellino, the author of King-Cat, which is one of the longest-running minicomics zines out there. Photocopied, folded, stapled, and mailed, each issue of King-Cat mixes Zen koans and stories with observations, memories, top 40 lists, and letters. Porcellino’s work has influenced many autobiographix creators, and below he talks with us about letting his comics be what they wanted to be, without getting in the way too much, and the joys and challenges of sustaining a long-running creative project.
