ICECUBES the comic strip.

‘ICECUBES’ is like a newspaper comic strip except on the web, at least for now. After submitting to the syndicates and getting blandly worded rejection form letters, I decided to go straight to my readers. Save a tree, read ‘ICECUBES’ online!

Although ‘ICECUBES’ has been compared to Pogo, I feel the comparison is a bit unfair, especially to Walt Kelly. It couldn’t possibly be compared to Peanuts, as Charles Schulz was a comic strip giant who drew almost 18,000 strips! So ‘ICECUBES’ will have to make a name for itself and define it’s very own genre, a tall order without a doubt!

I am a huge comics afficionado, with a great deal of respect for the heritage and history of comics and cartoons. Like Jazz and Vaudeville, this uniquely American art form gave us greats the likes of Willy De Beck, Geo. Herriman, Willard, Dirks, Segar, Caniff, Hal Forrest, even Outcault and McKay to say nothing of Bob Kane, Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Frank Miller et al.

With all this in mind, ‘ICECUBES’ is more of a way for me to dream about all sorts of things. So perhaps it may help to think of ‘ICECUBES‘ as some sort of small daydream that admittedly I indulge in all too often.

‘ICECUBES’ is published every Monday and Wednesday online. You can subscribe for free and get the comic delivered straight to your inbox or RSS reader. ‘ICECUBES’ is also available as a collection on the Amazon Kindle and iPhone . Vol. 2 will be available in January 2010!
