Old Man Winter, Harpers 1868.
I always enjoy the graphics on bags of ice. They are so funny sometimes. Here’s a good one! 
coming soon!
This will be the one everyone will want, so be on the lookout for ICECUBES the comic strip Volume 2 !
It used to be that comics had really great colors. Big primary colors printed with halftone dots. A lot of the times the color dots were off register and would bleed outside the lines. That was so cool! In fact my wife and I agree that it made the comic better when the color was off register like that!
Nowadays I’ve noticed that colors are no longer printed that way. In fact colors lay real flat on the page now and seem to look dull in some cases. For instance this Peanuts Sunday cartoon just looks flat and lifeless.

I did find something cool though. It seems that McDonalds still uses the old halftone print jobs on their Happy Meal bags! I think they look great by the way and so much more dynamic than that poor Peanuts strip. Good job McDonalds, I hope they keep it up!

I would love to print an ICECUBES comic book this way!

Check out this 1967 cover for an Italian comic book featuring Hanna Barbera cartoons. Great colors! This little book has Yogi, The Flintstones, Top Cat, Wally Gator and my favorite: Huckleberry Hound -which is the one they call ‘Braccobaldo’. Other great name translations are ‘Joe Ronzino’ for Quick Draw McGraw and ‘Trottolino’ for Top Cat!
Of course copyright belongs to Hanna Barbera or whoever owns it all now…
You know you’re in New Orleans when…
Just spent a week there. It was fun and also a lot of work doing my day job
I love the print job on this wrapper. I so wish I could print my comics this way, they would look so cool!
In this picture ICECUBES is definitely in good company! Although the comparison is clearly unfair… for them.
I just thought it was interesting to see how the first ICECUBES book was published compared to their first books.
Lucky you, unlike those other hard to find books, ICECUBES the comic strip Vol. 1 is still available! So why don’t you get your very own copy of the first ICECUBES book? Available exclusively on the Amazon Kindle. Just go to Amazon.com and type ICECUBES, or simply click here. You can also download it to your iPhone and PC!
Great news, the second book ICECUBES the comic strip Vol. 2 is coming out soon!
Look what I got for Christmas!
A chocolat Eggman and Peckinpaw are trapped in these boxes…
They’re so cute, I couldn’t possible eat them!
