April 15th, 2016 by Anique Zimmer

the egg

It’s a beautiful Easter morning at the kid’s egg hunt, but something strange brews under the dewy grass and your neighbors manicured rhododendrons. An egg nobody remembers hiding hatches: it’s not a chicken.

What is it? Come join The Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians for an evening at King’s Books, and put your talents of prose, drawing, or even sculpture to the test to show us your Easter Beast!

Time/Date: Wednesday, April 27th 7:30 – 9:00 PM

Location: King’s Books – 218 St Helens Ave, Tacoma, Washington 98402

There will be a prize drawing during the Open Swim, our lucky winner takes home a DIY Funko POP! figurine.
