King-Cat Comics and Stories is a long-running, photocopied mini-comic series, authored and self-published by John Porcellino.
Content-wise, King-Cat has evolved considerably over the years: through the mid-1990s, Porcellino's stories were much more angry and humorous, with a punk rock sensibility.
These stories alienated Porcellino's old fans who had enjoyed the humorous elements of his work, but they won him a new audience.
The book won the 2005 Outstanding Anthology or Collection Ignatz Award, presented at the 2005 Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD.
Perfect Example focused on stories of Porcellino's final days of high school and the following summer in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
