We’re thinking about moving our public artist-game hang out nights. Fill out the survey to help us pick the best time!

That’s right… The Cartoonist’s League of Absurd Washingtonians are launching their own webcomics on their very own webdomain. BOT FANS, a daily webcomic illustration the creative comments recieved from spam bots, is the first comic to be published under the CLAW banner.

To learn more about it and follow BOT FANS just go to: http://botfans.cartoonistsleague.org/

And keep checking back here as more  CLAW members begin to publish more webcomics in CLAW approved internet space.

Finally cartoonists making comics on a cartoonists website.

What will we think of next?

At the last 24 Hour-Comic day, i began a project with my friend and writing partner Zan Christensen.  It was a comic about bullying and one boy’s efforts to overcome it and although we didn’t finish it at the event, we did continue to work on it actually did a limited print-run to debut at this year’s Emerald City ComiCon.  Now we are trying to raise funds through Kickstarter.com to do a large, color print-run that will hopefully be published in time for San Diego ComiCon, through Northwest Press.com (Zan’s publishing concern.)

Well, now Zan and I have been named “Heroes of the Week” on Michael Hulshof-Schmidt’s “The Sollipsistic Me” blog site.  He writes about the comic and what it’s trying to accomplish in raising awareness about the issue of teen suicide because of bullying.  You can read more about it by following this link:

“Hero” is a bit of a strong word, but I certainly appreciate the recognition!
