CLAW CARES >>>

There are those who dread going home to an empty house, and there are those who revel in it. Those in the second category usually have large families. Or just families. Or maybe they're just antisocial, which is fine. But the point is to scheme new and innovative ways to achieve that empty house. To this end, perhaps you should perhaps encourage your artsy kid to apply for the 2010 Cartoonist's League of Absurd Washingtonians Young Cartoonist of the Future Scholarship. The Tacoma-based art organization has $368 with your kid's name on it - if they are worthy. The application must be turned in by March 15, 2010. Download the application here. Then sit back and dream about the piece and quiet. Ahhh. ... art scholarships.
