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…

The CLAW (Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians) will be having their Open Swim this Wednesday evening. The high and mighty council of the Four Eyes has decreed that each open swim will have a theme for attendees to participate in, if they so choose. This month’s theme: Robots! Drawings will be judged by all those attending, with the WINNER being announced. The Open Swim is for both member and non-members. Anyone who wants to be part of the festivities is welcomed. Besides the usual hijinks of doodling and preparing the path for the robotic overlords, there just might be a secret ceremony performed. The time and location are:
