Retro Ads.

January 6th, 2012 | by Leroy Brown

Hey, cool ICECUBES readers, here’s a new feature I’m including for 2012! Retro ads. They often have great illustrations, funny copy and hilarious tag lines. They are so cool I thought we could feature them in the ‘Cool Pix’ section of the ‘Icebox’. If you didn’t know it already, the ‘Icebox’ is the blog section of ICECUBES. Take a look here and explore more than 120 pages of random coolness! Thanks and tell me what you think! :)

Here’s our first entry. It’s a Bendix washing machine ad from 1947 featuring a great cartoony illustration by ‘Pony’. If anyone knows who that is please share it with us. Note the machine is also available in Canada and Mexico! ;)

Well, there you have it, the end of another year of ICECUBES the comic strip!
2011 was a banner year for ICECUBES with the most online visits ever. The strip has more readers, more subscribers, more Facebook fans and more Twitter friends than ever. Here are the year end numbers:

  • 145,000 total lifetime visits with over 10,000 return visits this year alone
  • over 120 Kindle ebooks sold (click here to get your copy)
  • 1055 Facebook friends (click here to become friends)
  • 205 Facebook fans of ICECUBES the comic strip. (click here to like the fan page)
  • 555 Twitter followers (click here to follow)
  • 70 feed subscribers on average (click here to subscribe)
  • 4 podcasts (click here to watch them)
  • 3 conventions
  • 1 printed book coming soon!

    • 2012 will be a make it or break it year for ICECUBES. The biggest milestone will be getting the first book printed. I have been carefully researching printers to get the best quality for the most reasonable price. I want this book to be a collector’s item that you will want to own and hang on to. I also want it to be affordable!

    Your comments fuel my motivation to make the strip and I want to encourage you to please take this opportunity to tell me what you think of ICECUBES. Positive comments are most welcome of course but if you see something you think could be better by all means let me know. Your feedback is essential in helping make ICECUBES even better.

    Thank you so much for reading ICECUBES and have a Happy New Year! :)
