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:

    Peckinpaw: “It’s difficult!”
    Freeze: “please draw it!”

      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!

So I thought it would be neat to show the humble beginnings of a new strip. You never know where an idea might come from, so it’s best to jot anything down that comes to mind. In this case, I just had a notepad handy and sketched this down while I was at work. It eventually became strip #338 where Peckinpaw is dressed up in a Motion Capture suit for Freeze’s film! As a bonus to ICECUBES fans , I am making the original art for the strip available to purchase for $50, autographed and personalized. Just click here to go to the ICECUBES store.
