Map Of My Heart GNMedia Release -- Celebrating 20 years of King-Cat, John Porcellino takes to the road on an extensive tour. He's already done a couple of dates including SPX (a show he hasn't been to in 10 years!!) John is one of the single most important cartoonists working today (there, I said it) both in influence and achievement so you should really take advantage of these rare opportunities to meet him. He is a surprisingly affable and jocular fellow given the somber tone of much of his work. Also, he is an expert on late 20th Century Middle American Rock Music (Soul Asylum, Husker Du, The Replacements!!)

Today John Porcellino signs at Desert Island (540 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211, (718) 388-5087) from 7-9pm.

DI-proprietor Gabe "Babe" Fowler will also have special limited edition silk-screens on hand for sale.
