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!
Here’s a classic Dick Tracy Sunday comic as a gift to you from ICECUBES!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Dick Tracy by Chester Gould, 1938.
Here’s a picture of the back of my computer at night. Cool Nooky sticker! They’re available at the Icecubes Zazzle store if you want one
Slifer the Sky Dragon by Apollo! ‘Cool’ Dragon
Yeah, more random stuff. Part of the ‘Cool Pix’ series. I like the cartoony pickle.
Look at what I found the other day at some random store. Although it’s sure to be ‘cool’ gum they probably are not aware that ICECUBES is a registered trademark. Seriously, I’ll sue them for all their bubbles
Look at this fun crew of cartoon characters! These are just some of my son Apollo’s favorites. Can you name them all?
Does anyone remember this cute magazine from a long, long time ago…?
I love the walrus
I ate a can of this last night and I needed it too! What with managing my databases spread over 4 computers and 10 hard drives, troubleshooting extension conflicts on my Macs, trying to revive a dead laptop and cleaning the gears of my printer, I’m totally immersed in geek hell. If only I also knew php… but I digress. As you can see, I am hard at work, fighting to bring you the best comic strip experience ever! Oh yeah and I gotta draw sometimes too…!
ICECUBES had a table at Strip-The Dallas Webcomic Expo on Saturday, Aug. 6. We had a real good time and got to meet some great folks. Leroy Brown drawing a commission.
I drew some commissions and got to meet great ICECUBES fans. It’s really a lot of fun to meet people who read and enjoy ICECUBES the comic strip.
Brian Powers, Leroy Brown, Mark Stokes.
I met fellow cartoonists Mark Stokes who draws Zombie Boy Comics (http://www.zombieboycomics.com/) and Brian Powers who draws Liltoon (http://liltoon.com/tv/) Brad Diller who draws Funday Morning Cartoons (http://cartoons.fundaymorning.com/) and Kit Lively (http://www.kitlively.com). You should definitely check out their comics.
Cosplay Cuties
Security was tight!
I need to mention that I also met Hector Cantu who writes the syndicated strip Baldo, Chris Jeffery from Cartridge Comics as well as David Wilborn from Urban Jungle who very graciously introduced himself. I also want to thank everyone who stopped by the table and chatted- it was great to meet you all!
