Perfect Example
Perfect Example | John Porcellino
2 posts | 2 read
A melancholic memoir of saying goodbye to the familiar Road trips, drunken concerts, and late-night make-out sessions all swirl together in this coming-of-age graphic novel by King Cat cartoonist John Porcellino. Tackling the pain and uncertainty of the pivotal summer before college, Porcellino's sad and beautiful story is drawn in his sincere, minimalist style. Deceptively and charmingly simple, Perfect Example is a collection of Porcellino's self-published King Cat comics, which have won over thousands of readers with their honesty, empathy, and sincerity.

Simple line drawings capture what it‘s like trying to decide what to do after high school.

Lindy I love Porcellino‘s work and how he deals with subtle issues of mental health. 5y

A good precursor to Porcello's later books. It would make a great movie, or longer graphic novel. Length would do the the storyline well. But in and of itself, it's a resonant read that every post-grad reader will feel in their bones.
