ICECUBES in Japanese!

Posted on October 6, 2025 by Leroy Brown

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!

Big Storm!

Posted on July 22, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Dear friends, As you may know, we just went through hurricane Beryl which turned out to be a terrible storm. Our power was knocked out for 10 days and our internet was knocked out for 2 weeks! We are just now starting to get back online and trying to put the pieces back together. Of course it was impossible to update the ICECUBES website and so you may have been wondering what was happening. In addition, my beloved wife has come down with a severe illness and my focus is on taking care of her. So you see, we have been pretty badly battered. I will endeavor to continue drawing new strips as often as possible. The best way for now to support ICECUBES is to keep an eye out for the new book that I will be launching on Kickstarter very soon. Also, please click on the ads. Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers. Leroy Brown

This Week’s Rejected Strip.

Posted on May 10, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Dear friends, This almost never happens! I completed a new ICECUBES strip that I was going to publish this week but after taking a good look at it, I decided it wasn’t good enough for print… I just felt it was lackluster and it would be better to wait until next week for a better strip. So this week’s strip ended up in the dust bin. You can see, I actually tore it up. I know I can do better and you definitely deserve the best. So, please be patient and let’s look forward to a great new ICECUBES strip next week! Thanks for being such ‘cool’ ICECUBES fans!
