Lance Kagey has been awarded FRIEND OF CLAW status by unanimous vote during a secret members-only meeting of the Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians (the C.L.A.W.) I was picked or volunteered to craft his invitation/notice so this is how I chose to honor that commitment. It is no small secret that I am intensely jealous of other artists who are picked to work with Beautiful Angle on a wheat paste poster project… but that is a story for another time. What is important now is that we honor this work-a-day letter press savant by disparaging his main competition, namelyChandler OCD’leery and Jessica Spring Tide.   Today the Tacomic honors savage manliness; just look at these guys. They’re all stubble, ruddy and pot bellied… that’s REAL AMERICA folks.

Congratulations LANCE KAGEY: Friend of the CLAW!

You’re invited to..

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TEMPLE
7PM, Monday January 3rd.

EVENT DETAILS: http://www.cartoonistsleague.org/have-you-received-a-personal-invitation-to-the-grand-yearly-ceremony-of-the-claw/

Here is the CLAW Grand Yearly Ceremony invitation created for Tom llewellyn of “Beautiful Angle”!  The theme of the invite is based on his excellent children’s book entitled “The Tilting House” and features Mr. Daga, one of its characters, appropriately (for our purposes) adorned with a fez.

Congratulations Tom Llewellyn: Friend of the CLAW!

Adam Manley aka: Adam the Alien has been a huge supporter and participant in the Frost Park Chalk-Offs. His mammoth army of Zombie voters is not merely legendary but award winning as well. It is through Adam’s creative genius and videographer skills that several moments of CLAW history has been shared with the world. It should therefore come as no surprise that he has been named Friend of CLAW. If you would like to see Adam, along with a select cadre of others, receive his fez, you can do so at The CLAW’s Great Yearly Ceremony. This truly secret and highly painful event will be held on Monday, January 3rd 2010, 7:00 p.m. at the Nights of Pythian Temple. Attendance will only be granted to those holding Golden Tickets. Golden Tickets can be purchased for $5 at the following locations:
Amocat Café
