Tuscans are generally considered a very down-to-earth, sceptic people but we're not immune from being fascinated with certain popular superstitions, especially when they should bring us some luck. In this week's episode we will present you with some of the most interesting rituals that, according to believers, are guaranteed to bring you good luck. Many were born around Tuscan universities so that students would have good grades in their finals. When facing a tough exam, even the most rational of students will be tempted to court Lady Luck. If in Pisa they resort to a famous lizard sculpture, in Leghorn they have some seriously complicated rituals involving a famous Catholic sanctuary nearby. If in Siena students stay well clear of a cursed archway, in Florence the best way to get some extra luck is to rub the nose of the famous Porcellino Fountain. I wouldn't bet on the effectiveness of these good luck charms but some people swear by them. What is your take? Are you a believer or a sceptic? Do you know any specific good luck charm or ritual from your neck of the woods?

Nonostante noi toscani siamo generalmente considerati scettici e un poco mangiapreti, non siamo immuni al fascino delle superstizioni popolari, specialmente quando si tratta di ingraziarsi Madama Fortuna. Nella puntata di questa settimana abbiamo deciso di presentarvi alcuni dei riti propiziatori che, almeno per chi ci crede, porterebbero fortuna. Molti sono nati in ambito scolastico o universitario per garantire un buon risultato all'esame di maturità o alla laurea. Di fronte ad un esame, anche il più razionale degli studenti non resiste alla tentazione di ingraziarsi la Dea Bendata. Se a Pisa si cerca la lucertola sulla porta della Cattedrale, a Livorno ci sono riti cervellotici legati al Santuario della Madonna di Montenero. Se a Siena si rifugge l'arco maledetto in Piazza del Campo, a Firenze si cerca la fortuna carezzando il muso della fontana del Porcellino. Sul fatto che questi portafortuna funzionino non ci metterei la mano sul fuoco, ma in molti continuano a crederci. Come la vedete voi? Ci credete o siete più scettici? Siete a conoscenza di superstizioni ed oggetti fortunati nella vostra città?

Alice incontra la Duchessa in cucina dove la cuoca lancia oggetti verso di loro. Prende in braccio un porcellino e parla col Gatto che svanisce.
C'erano molti giocattoli nella stanza dei bambini; in cima all'armadio si trovava il salvadanaio di terracotta, a forma di porcellino. Aveva naturalmente una fessura sulla schiena e questa era stata allargata con un coltello in modo che ci passassero anche le monete d'argento: ce n'erano già due, oltre a molte altre monetine. Il porcellino salvadanaio era così pieno che non tintinnava più, e questo è il massimo a cui un porcellino salvadanaio possa aspirare. Continue reading

Time Codes: 00:00:25 - Introduction 00:02:50 - Setup of interview 00:04:21 - Interview with John Porcellino 01:21:07 - Wrap up 01:23:19 - Contact us Gene and Derek are excited to have John Porcellino back on the podcast. His new book From Lone Mountain has just been released by Drawn and Quarterly, and John talks in depth about the time in his life covered in this collection, as well as the process of pulling all of these experiences together. The book collects King-Cat Comics & Stories #62-#68, released between 2003-2007. The Two Guys ask John about the evolution of his compositional strategies, the role that place and landscape play in his comics, how both prose and illustrations function for self-exploration, his thoughts on punk and the DIY aesthetic, and how his comics serve as a release for, as well as a reflection of, the many changes in his life. This isn't the first time John P. has been on The Comics Alternative -- he came on for an interview around the release of issue #76 of King-Cat Comics & Stories -- and the guys certainly hope that this isn't his last visit. And be sure to check out John's online store, Spit and a Half. There you can find not only his King-Cat Comics & Stories, but also a variety of other mini- and indie comics by other creators, as well!

Y al final he caído. Compro en el Mercato del Porcellino, en la loggia del Mercato Nuovo, que se llama así por el jabalí de hocico brillante al que todo el mundo quiere tocar.
On this interview episode, Andy and Derek are pleased to have as their guest John Porcellino. Issue #76 of his long-running (twenty-six year!) minicomic, King-Cat Comics and Stories, has just been released, and the Two Guys talk with John about how different this issue is from his previous one. That issue, a heartfelt memorial to his cat, Maisie Kukoc, was more of a long-form story that may have expanded his audience. Andy asks John what readers who came to his work through issue #75 might think of the latest release, a more traditional issue of King-Cat Comics and Stories, and that question sets the stage for the rest of the conversation. Among the many topics John discusses in this interview are his processes of note-taking, the stylistic turning points of his career, his views on autobiographical comics, his experiences as a self-publisher and comics distributor, his philosophy of personal revelation, and the roles that music continues to play in his comics. In fact, one of the more interesting takeaways from the interview is John's understand of his zines as being analogous to record albums. He constructs them in the same ways musicians might pull together a two-sided LP. Along the way, Derek and Andy also talk with John about his book-length stories and collections, specifically Perfect Example and The Hospital Suite. This is an engaging conversation, one that is really a long time in coming for The Comics Alternative. If there is indeed a King of the Minicomics, then John Porcellino should be the one wearing that crown.
I’d spoken with John Porcellino not all that long ago for Publishers Weekly feature discussing The Hospital Suite, the indie cartoonist longest self-contained work to date. Published by Drawn & Quarterly, the book is deeply personal, exploring long standing health concerns that caused Porcellino to be hospitalized numerous times over the years. Toward the end of that conversation, I asked the artist whether he’d be willing to meet up again for yet another interview when his book tour brought him to New York City. He’d only be in town for a couple of days for the Brooklyn Book Festival and would only have a couple of hours to spare, but he happily agreed to devote one of them to sitting down with me in front of a microphone yet again. Porcellino greeted me in the lobby of his Brooklyn hotel a few weeks later in a white t-shirt bearing the visage of celebrity cat, Lil Bub. He recognized me before I recognized him. He looked different than the last time we’d met, when I’d interviewed him on-stage at the Minneapolis Indie Expo a few years prior. Back then, he’d been in the throes of the health concerns at the center of his new book. “I’ve put on a little weight,” he said proudly. “I just turned 46, after all.” He didn’t look overweight, he just looked, well, healthy. He offered me an English muffin and apologized for tucking into the hotel breakfast that had only just arrived. He was making the most of his limited time as I set up the recorder. After five ten minutes of discussing the relative niceness of various hardcore frontmen (Ian MacKaye, Kevin Seconds and Keith Morris all get gold stars), any concerns I harbored about our ability to fill yet another hour’s worth of SD card with conversation melted away. For episode 75, here’s a wide ranging one with one of the most fascinating and longest lasting figures in the world of self-published comics. Punk rock, buddhism, nature, health and art all abound.
This is episode 9 of Boing Boing's Tell Me Something I Don't Know podcast. It's an interview show featuring artists, writers, filmmakers, and other creative people discussing their work, ideas, and the reality/business side of how they do what they do. John Porcellino is the creator of the long-running, self-published mini-comic series, King Cat Comics (celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2014). His books include Perfect Example (Highwater Books, Drawn and Quarterly), Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man (La Mano), King-Cat Classix (Drawn and Quarterly), Map of My Heart (Drawn and Quaterly), and Thoreau at Walden (Hyperion). His work is characterized by a thoughtful, minimal drawing/writing style and a unique approach to narrative interpretation and temporal representation. Besides his influential work as a cartoonist, Porcellino is the founder of Spit and a Half – a small press comics and zine distribution company that began in the early 90s. Tell Me Something I Don't Know is produced and hosted by three talented cartoonists and illustrators: Jim Rugg, a Pittsburgh-based comic book artist, graphic designer, zinemaker, and writer best known for Afrodisiac, The Plain Janes, and Street Angel. His latest project is SUPERMAG. Jasen Lex is a designer and illustrator from Pittsburgh. He is currently working on a graphic novel called Washington Unbound. All of his art and comics can be found at jasenlex.com. Ed Piskor is the cartoonist who drew the comic, Wizzywig, and draws the Brain Rot/ Hip Hop Family Tree comic strip at this very site, soon to be collected by Fantagraphics Books and available for pre-order now.

This is a pretty mellow show, but I think it's a good one. John Porcellino is the cartoonist between the long-running King-Cat mincomic series, and many collections and other books. One of them that Phil and I (Matt) recently read is Perfect Example, a true-life high school story, that has been described as a coming-of-age story which reads like a "goodbye to the familiar Road trips, drunken concerts, and late-night make-out sessions." According to cartoonist Chris Ware, "John Porcellino's comics distill, in just a few lines and words, the feeling of simply being alive." We caught up with John Porcellino before he went to SPX, one of the mainstays on the indie comics convention calendar. Phil and I talk with John P. about self-publishing, what he gained from his art school experience at NIU, the difference between the early days of alternative comics (the 80/90s) and now. We also talk about doing comics for the love of it, and learning from the artwork (it really applies to writing, drawing, and music, as well) while you are making it. And since we share the stateline region with John, I had to ask him about the changes from living in an urban/suburban environment to living in the more rural environment of South Beloit.
