ICECUBES the comic strip. #0200
Posted on January 25, 2012 by Leroy Brown
Well here is #200 folks! Hooray for ICECUBES! :) I want to dedicate this ICECUBES strip #200 to my Grandfather who a long time ago told me that there were jobs in the world where people drew for a living. He was an engineer himself and did technical drawings professionally. I inherited some of his tools and used his ink dip compass to draw the sun in this strip. No computers, just real ink.

      Thank you Chris, thanks for reading. Be sure to subscribe, ICECUBES is probably going to be members only in the near future.

      Thanks Thomas! 200 seems like a lot, but then sometimes I wonder, what only 200? It seems like a lot of work… Hope you are well 🙂

    Leroy, Congrats on your 200th strip! Your grandfather should be really proud! And what a vibrant and colorful strip you created for the occasion, appreciated much by yours truly even if not by the denizens of your strip!

Working on the Book!

So after dreaming for years about making a real ink and paper book of ICECUBES the comic strip and finally being just about ready to pull the trigger, guess what happens? Border’s goes bust and closes all its stores, the book business crashes, printers stop printing books, paper mills close and stop making paper and generally speaking people stop reading books! What a time to put out a book. 🙁 But I remain optimistic that there is an audience out there that would like to hold the real thing in their hands, share it with their friends and enjoy having it on their bookshelves as a nice well crafted collectors item. That’s why even though printing a book has become ever harder and expensive, in complete contradiction to the laws of supply and demand by the way, I’m still hard at work on the first ICECUBES book. Of course those of you who follow ICECUBES know that Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 are available exclusively on the Kindle. So stay tuned and get ready to pre-order your limited edition, real ink and paper, signed and numbered collector’s edition of ICECUBES the Book! Leroy Brown

I Eats Me Spinach!

popeye-can I ate a can of this last night and I needed it too! What with managing my databases spread over 4 computers and 10 hard drives, troubleshooting extension conflicts on my Macs, trying to revive a dead laptop and cleaning the gears of my printer, I’m totally immersed in geek hell. If only I also knew php… but I digress. As you can see, I am hard at work, fighting to bring you the best comic strip experience ever! Oh yeah and I gotta draw sometimes too…!

Welcome back friends! You surely noticed we were off the air for a short time while we changed web hosts. We are very excited to be with our new host Hostgator. I’m not trying to make an ad for them, but they have been so helpful that I just want to extend my thanks! Restoring the database meant that we used a backup so the last comic didn’t make the cut, so here it is in all it’s glory. Befittingly, the theme is happiness. Happiness for me is getting ICECUBES back up and running! Hooray!! Thanks for being patient and as we redesign the site to be even better, I hope you’ll feel the love! 🙂 Leroy Brown
