Gone Fishing!

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Leroy Brown

Dear ICECUBES friends, No doubt you have been wondering aloud "why haven't there been any new ICECUBES comic strips lately?" The reason unfortunately is that I have been ill. Of course being not only the author, but also the publisher, colorist, promoter and webmaster of ICECUBES when I am out of commission the strip truly goes silent. There isn't a contingency plan, like hiring another cartoonist or running funny cat videos. I decided not to post classic ICECUBES strips either. So the strip goes silent for awhile. Add to that the fact that I need to work on my paying jobs every now and then so I can continue to afford sandwiches! As if those weren't decent enough excuses, I must also inform you that the computer I use to scan the comics is kaput! Yep, broken. It is I admit a very old machine but such is the life of the artist. Thankfully, my dear friends, you have made the latest ICECUBES book "THE i'S HAVE IT!" a runaway success and the first print run is completely sold out! I am so grateful for the support and attachment you have shown for ICECUBES. Of course if you believe that fixing the old computer might help get more ICECUBES strips published, feel free to become a Patron on Patreon. For only $1 a month you can help make sure I get my fill of sandwiches and my computer gets an oil change! Thanks so much for being such great fans of ICECUBES, it's just awesome! :) Leroy Brown

I Eats Me Spinach!

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…!

Dallas Webcomic Expo

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Leroy Brown

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!

Hello folks, we’re getting ready for Dallas Webcomics Con, otherwise known as Strip. This should be a lot of fun. We will have a small table and I will be there to meet and greet. I will present my Kickstarter project for ICECUBES the Book! And I will be drawing for those fans who might like a signed ICECUBES drawing! Also I will be selling some artwork, like this hand painted strip:

Â©ICECUBES It’s summer out there and it’s hot and dry. Be careful and remember: “Only YOU can prevent wildfires!”🙂

We’re back! :)

Welcome back friends! You surely noticed we were off the air for a short time while we changed web hosts. We are very excited to be with our new host Hostgator. I’m not trying to make an ad for them, but they have been so helpful that I just want to extend my thanks! Restoring the database meant that we used a backup so the last comic didn’t make the cut, so here it is in all it’s glory. Befittingly, the theme is happiness. Happiness for me is getting ICECUBES back up and running! Hooray!! Thanks for being patient and as we redesign the site to be even better, I hope you’ll feel the love! 🙂 Leroy Brown
