At this week’s open swim, the CLAW and CLAW fans alike will participate in yet another exciting game of adventure, creativity, and dare I say, extreme DANGER! This week the game is called CLAWduct Placement. The way the game works is teams of two have 45 minutes to conceptualize and create a visual cartoon advertisement for their made-up product.

After the posters have been created, teams will have the opportunity to present a 3 minute pitch to the rest of the participants. The team with the most votes wins the grand prize and recognition as the CLAW’s Official Marketing Team for 2010.

Be there or be CLAWed.

The CLAW, while founded by a bunch of guys, extremely pasty white guys, was meant to be a secret organization, but never a fraternal one. However it remained one as our pasty ranks swelled, in number that is, until the highly coveted tenth member position became available. And who would become the mysterious member X? The CLAW is very proud to announce Anique Zimmer as its newest inductee into its most hallowed ranks. Congratulations, Anique, you signed “The Pact You Were Better Off Not Signing” and are now a talon of The CLAW!

As decided through a random drawing, the theme for the Open Swim in March was “Win, Lose, or CLAW!” Two teams, the Whites and the Blacks, pitted their pens and their wits against each other to draw such things as: Amish Crab, Aroma of Tacoma, Potato Canon, Hailey’s Comet, Nazi Camel, and Sheep Running in Fear (to name only a few). But in the end the much coveted basket of spoils went to the Whites. Keep an eye on the CLAW just subscribe to the RSS feed, or our email and and you will learn what’s planned for the next CLAW Open Swim. CLAW Open Swim meetings are open to the public at 7:30 PM on the 4th Wednesday of each month, at the beautiful Mandolin Café, 3923 S. 12th St., Tacoma 98405.

The CLAW (Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians) will be having our monthly Open Swim this Wednesday evening, March 24th, 2010. Normally we have a theme, but this time the theme has morphed and hideously evolved into… wait for it… A GAME!
We’ll be playing the game that will soon be sweeping the nation: WIN LOSE OR CLAW! Bring some friends and get ready to team up with and take on CLAW. We’ll provide the paper and the pens, you provide your imagination and some fun.

Did I mention there’s hoppin’ good prize for the winning team? Be there to fight for the sweetest prize yet offered…
