Join the CLAW tonight at 7:30 PM at Mandolin Cafe’s back room! This week’s OPEN SWIM cartoonists game activity will be to REBOOT any intellectual property; making it appealing to today’s audiences with their cynical, post post modernist world views AND pitch the TV show/comic/movie to the group who votes on the best one.

ACTION STEPS:

1 . split into teams

2. pick your character franchise that could really use a reboot.

3. DRAW DRAW DRAW! (Transformer Babies? Lego Garfield Video Game? Family Circus with Zombies? Fraggle Emo?)

4. Make your pitch.  Sell it!

The winning entry in the Open Swim Game for 4-28-2010. By a gigantic margin of ONE vote, this brilliant creation of Thorax and RR causes side stitching-laughter… and stomach-pumping, should you eat it.

…and to think of what you miss when you don’t go to the Open Swim.

The CLAW has voted to appropriate an annual accumulating $10 fund to be awarded as BOUNTY to the CLAW Member who sponsors world famous recluse and Seattle cartoonist GARY LARSON to attend a future End of the Year CLAW CEREMONIAL DINNER. The extreme unlikelihood of GARY LARSON actually attending anything should, with time, grow the GARY LARSON BOUNTY into a sizable sum.  Good Luck seekers!
