I was hired by an Alaska-based brewing company from my home town of Juneau a few years back. The idea was to combine the accessibility of a funny-pages comic strip with the sex appeal of drinking beer.
The highly experimental, outdoor adventure comic strips below were developed and ultimately abandoned for a more traditional marketing campaign. Click the strips below to read!
So much for that idea…
They were $ fun $ to draw nevertheless.
The C.L.A.W. is a clandestine network of professional Northwest cartoonists founded and ultimately concentrated in the south Puget Sound region. Our mission is to gather talented Washington State cartoonists of great skill and humongous egos in frequently secluded gatherings during which the secrets and mystic arts of their sublime craft are practiced. Behind closed doors and away from prying eyes, the most pointless and silly of rituals will be freely indulged. And we give a scholarship to an art student every year!

Where there’s a quill, there’s a way.
I’ll have to admit, you lost me on that first comic with the fly fishing. The other two strips, no problem, good stuff.
So what did the stuff they finally went with look like?

the whole idea of using comics to sell beer was scrapped 🙁 this is all that remains of that noble experiment!
