My great cartoonist friend Eric Cartier sent me this a while back. I originally published it on my other website AtomikComix. I think it belongs here though and it will be the premiere of a brand new feature on ICECUBES called Friday Fan Art! ©Eric Cartier
Eric Cartier is a fantastic cartoonist with marquee pedigree. He has penned the likes of Kaput & Zosky with Lewis Trondheim and his own cartoon character ‘Flip’ who travels around the world and gets into all kinds of adventures. Eric is a master cartoonist and the reason he is on the fan page is because I’m a fan of his! Salut Eric, I hope to get together again soon!

Here’s work in progress on a recent strip. You can check a lot of behind the scenes sketches and prep drawings at the ICECUBES Facebook fan page here.
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:
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!
