Pumpkin Crab by Mark Monlux

It’s Bring Your Own Pumpkin the CLAW’s very first Pumpkin Carving Contest. Bring your pumpkins and carving implements to King’s Books. Be sure to RSVP on our Facebook page so that we have a rough idea of how many to set up the room for. Be it a traditional jack-o-lantern, painted, carved, or prop incrusted, there is only one rule: It has to be created on-site during the allowed time. We do ask that if you’re going to core your pumpkin, you do so at home to keep down on the mess.  Costumes, funny hats, and Halloween candy are encouraged. Who will take home the prize? Come join us and see. October is also the time the CLAW fundraises for the CLAW Student Scholarship fund. Spare change is welcomed to help a lucky student afford art supplies.

Wednesday, October 23rd 2013, 7:30pm-9:30pm, King’s Books, 218 St. Helens Ave., Tacoma, WA 98402. This is a free event rated R.

CLAW invites you to join them at King’s Books in an exciting game of Fax Machine. What is Fax Machine? Well you will need to bring a sketch book that has several available pages to utilize. You will write something on the first page and pass it to the person on your left and then on the next page they will try and draw it in a limited amount of time. They will then pass it to the left and that person then writes down what they interpret it to be on the next page and so on and so on. Pretty easy, the person who’s turns out to be the closest at the end wins. And what do they win Bob? You’ll have to come to see.

For fans of the Northwestern webcomic “Pet Projects”, the first-ever compilation comic book will be sold by the creator Brandon Pierce at QZ CON on September 27th and 28th. In it, you’ll find a “best-of” selection of the best comic strips from FeedTacoma.com, as well as an all-new comic book storyline made specifically for the book!

So, join you’re favorite red-haired, green-skinned witch Notle, and her pets, crabby Kaeley the Cat, and the self-centered, dim-witted dog, Spike Beagle on their day-in, day-out adventures, with a little bit of magic along the way!
