The Clampett Humanitarian Award is named after Bob Clampett, best known for his work on Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Time for Beany, and Beany and Cecil. After he died in 1984, SDCCI created the award to honor those who have helped others with the use of comics and popular art. WinC Founder Regine Sawyer will be at the Eisner Awards and will be presented with the award by Ruth Clampett, who is Bob Clampett’s daughter.

The Eisner Awards will take place during Comic-Con on Friday, July 26 and we will be there to report it. Congratulations to Winc and Regine Sawyer for her work with the community and so much more.
