I want to make it perfectly clear for fear that it may get misunderstood or misconstrued here in this thread...

The person that Thorax O'Tool refers to as being rejected for membership in CLAW was rejected by vote of individual members based on criteria supported by our constitution and bylaws.

Not because of her gender.

CLAW likes women.

And men.

And robots.

But not flying monkeys or zombies.

Zombies must die.

Yes. Thanks for clarifying Mr. O'Tool's "AAAAAAAH"-inspiring first comment.

Mostly, just a plethora of cartoon art submitted for review. All art is good, but this is the "Cartoonists League", after all...

There are 5 requirements, as listed:

1) Be a resident of the State of WA
2) Don't be a serial killer who goes after cartoonists
3) Be a professional or amateur cartoonist/illustrator/etc
4) Are willing to wear a Fez and acknowledge the Four Sacred Truths.
5) Be able to pay the dues (The Council of Four Eyes can work with you on this, if money is tight. Just ask them).
