The cartoonist without a friend…
July 10, 2010
I helped John Porcellino move last week. It’s always crummy when a good friend of yours moves away, but when you actually have to help him do it, it adds to the sting. It all happened really fast. Within a week he had decided that he was leaving.
So, no more Porcellino in Denver. I’m pretty sad about all of this. He was my close friend and maybe one of my biggest fans/supporters. I learned a lot from him and I really picked up on how to time my comics from reading his.
