Dog Man meets Bunny vs. Monkey in Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop, a fast-paced and funny middle grade graphic novel series about the latest and greatest crimefighting duo!

Meet Clawsome: lobster, crime fighter, and all-round badass, and his partner Stariana, the sharpest and smartest starfish in all of Caper Cove! Follow the dynamic duo as they fight such denizens of the deep as the Catfishburglar, Chowderhead, and the Brain Sturgeon.

Crime doesn’t pay in Caper Cove with Officer Clawsome and his partner, Stariana, on the case. Just ask the notorious Catburglarfish—she’ll confirm.

But when the beloved bakery Kelpy''s Kelpcakes goes missing and rumors begin swirling about shark sightings for the first time in a hundred years, the duo is about to find themselves claw-deep in a mystery for the ages.

Will this dynamic duo save the day yet again, or have the citizens of Caper Cove eaten their last Kelpcake…for good?
