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!

RR's MS Paint Parody of Far Side Cartoon Art

Remember the Far Side?

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:

Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. January. 27th 2009
The Mandolin Café
3923 S 12th St
Tacoma, WA 98405
(In the New and Improved back room, to the left of the performance stage.)
RSVP if you can, space is limited. Feel free to bring a friend, but as this is an adult only event, no kids.

Stowe's Birthday Blowout...maybe that's not a good title.

Hey James–I can’t make it tonight, but here’s wishing you the best of luck and all the Pepto you need!
