Wayzgoose was this last Sunday and The CLAW was well represented. I mere fifteen feet in from the front door if Kings Books in downtown Tacoma The CLAW was teaching those attending how to fold a ashcan comic from a single piece of paper. In attendance were RR Anderson, Mark Monlux, Anique Zimmer, Nick Butler with assistance for part of the day by James Stowe and Mark Brill. Those manning the table brought merchandise to sell to the unweary.

Come 1:30 our team’s time slot arrived for the poster printing. While our target was 10 posters, time only allowed six to be printed. One will be auctioned off to benefit Wayzgoose, another will be place in the Woolworth window (last time it was later returned to CLAW,) and those participating in the day has dibs on the remaining four. The print was a huge success.

When the message of the Robotic Overlords revealed, a cheer went up from the crowd.

Also, the CLAW Student Scholarship of 2012 received its first donation of $4 bringing the current total to $104. It was a most awesome day. Again, thanks to Stowe for coming down and helping us to set up and drawing caricature nameplates, and to Brill for being part of the team to oversee the printing of the posters.

After completely failing to finish our admittedly over-ambitious 24-hour comic last October 2nd, Zan and I decided to get revive it and publish it in time to have it at Emerald City ComiCon this last weekend!  In the spirit of the original event, we made this decision about three weeks before the con.  Naturally, since we were under a time constraint, I felt obliged to throw out all the pages I actually HAD finished (except for a couple which I had to heavily rework in Photoshop) and redraw the whole thing in a different style!

The last drawing was finished and put into place on Wednesday…a day before the con started.  Zan put forth an heroic effort and laid out the book and printed and folded and cut copies of it so that it was ready and waiting when the ComiCon opened its doors on Friday!

Anyway–here is a shot of the cover of our 25 page story of a teen dealing with classmates who are bullying him because he is a little different.
