Dear friends, I recently went on a surprise trip to Japan. It has to be said that Japan is the land of comics and cartoons, except they call them manga and anime. Did you know that manga and anime are one of Japan's biggest exports? It's amazing to see all the billboards, signs, TV shows and even subways full of cartoons and cartoon characters. To celebrate our great visit to Japan, I made an ICECUBES strip in Japanese! Accordingly, it is read from right to left and from top to bottom.
Mini contest!
The first person to translate this strip in the comments below will get a free download of ICECUBES vol. 2 in pdf format. Leave the comment right here:
Congrats, you did it! Although it reads right to left, so Freeze first says: “Draw please!” and then Peckinpaw says “It’s difficult!”. Freeze is trying to get Peckinpaw out of his slump and wants him to draw another comic strip. We’ll see if he does… In the meantime you just won a free digital download of ICECUBES Vol. 2!
Wimpy! and of course a locomotive that squirts water… because, well…
In other news, I’ve decided to do away with the members only area. It was too complicated to maintain. So now you can read all the strips going back to #200. Anything before that is in the book!
Hello everyone,
Animation that I did for Dizzy Flashtoons is being submitted to Nickelodeon Shorts! We hope they’ll give us a shot on TV. You can help be watching the video and giving it a thumbs up! Share it so we get more views. Tell me what you think. Thanks and fingers crossed. 🙂
Congrats to Eddy Obomsawin of Quebec, for winning the first prize in ourBelgium Comics Contest last month! Eddy answered the tricky question of naming all the characters in the drawing below in French! (I guess he had a little advantage of being in a French speaking part of the country 😉 His prize was a signed ICECUBES book. Thanks for sending us the picture Eddy! 🙂
Here’s the original drawing for Michael Pohrer, who won second prize in the Belgium Comics Contest. In this drawing I put Lucky Luke, a Smurf and Spirou along with Eggman, Peckinpaw and Freeze. Thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to the winners!
