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!
A pencil sketch from last week’s comic strip. I was working out the hand position. Did you know that your thumb faces outwards when you do an overhead backhand? 🙂

To all my readers: Network Solutions in their infinite wisdom have decided to mess up my server. So for the time being I cannot upload new pictures to ICECUBES the comic strip! It’s beyond my control! Please bear with us as we work this out with the morons over at Network Solutions. Thanks!
