ICECUBES the comic strip #309

Posted on January 27, 2023 by Leroy Brown

Pogo was a comic strip that I remember seeing in the papers a long time ago. Although I couldn't really understand what it was all about, I really enjoyed the drawings. Did you know that Walt Kelly worked for Disney before starting Pogo? That probably explains why his drawings are so good. The reason Pogo was confusing for a little kid was that the words were always so complicated. It was clearly directed at an adult audience (the kind that read newspapers obviously) and not kids. I learned to better appreciate it later on in life and still love the drawings.

Today's ICECUBES comic strip is a tribute to those Pogo style tongue twisters and so now you know.

Comic strip blocking.

Posted on February 17, 2009 by Leroy Brown

‘Blocking’ just means blocking out how the action gets laid out on the page. In this case I was trying to work out the way Peckinpaw tripped and fell by making the gesture and movement read well in the limited amount of space of the 13″ x 4″ strip. Some artists call this the storyboarding stage. It’s real important to do this before you start drawing the real strip or else you will be erasing and restarting a lot. I always try to avoid a lot of erasing because it can introduce smudges that are hard to get rid of. It can also mess up the surface of the paper making it harder to ink. You can see click on the final published strip here.
