Put down that remote and join the Open Swim!
The CLAW (Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians) will be having their Open Swim this Wednesday evening. 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, the first recipient of the C.L.A.W.’s Young Cartoonist of the Future Scholarship will receive a giant novelty check. The time and location are:

Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
The Mandolin Café
3923 S 12th St
Tacoma, WA 98405
(In the back room, to the left of the performance stage.)
RSVP if you can, space is limited.

RR Anderson says, “Extending the deadline is a good idea.”

In these times of economic hardship, it is hard to believe that starving art students are unwilling to fill out a form in the hopes of getting free cash. The CLAW has received no scholarship submissions to date. And attributes this not the complete lethargy of today’s youth, but rather on the fact that the word has not yet gone out that mulla is available. Students seeking to widen their knowledge of the mystical way of cartoons via recognized structures of formal learning may now rejoice in the knowledge that the CLAW Student Scholarship has been extended another 30 days to April 15th 2009. Please forward this link http://www.cartoonistsleague.org/scholarship to those young innocent faces who will be the sequential art leaders of tomorrow.
