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.
Leroy Brown
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!
Thanks so much Mark. And I really appreciate all the support and good wishes coming from your end. Definitely will be coming to see you one day soon! Cheers ๐
Check out the trailer for the upcoming ‘Drawing ICECUBES’ podcast! The podcast will feature the entire drawing session of an original ICECUBES strip from beginning to end. Stay tuned and enjoy the show! ๐
Hey fans, here’s a sneak peak at the upcoming podcast of Leroy Brown drawing ICECUBES! The movie shows the birth of an original ICECUBES strip from A to Z. Leroy Brown shares all kinds of tips and tricks and displays his techniques for putting together ICECUBES the comic strip!
As if I didn’t have enough going on, I decided to start a new comicbook project. Actually I started this comic a long time ago but I’ve decided to work on it some more. It’s a bit of a different style although I think it’s going to look great. Here’s a drawing from it. More soon ๐
Also don’t forget the ICECUBES book that we’re going to start promoting on Kickstarter soon!

Just for fun! ๐Good practice.Schulz developed a fast stroke that is hard to replicate without lots of practice. For him over time, drawing Peanuts became like writing shorthand.
The best thing to do is to draw all the time, anywhere on anything. Even if it means drawing on a paper bag! Here are some sketches I made on whatever was at hand. It all ended up in a strip that you can read here.
Grace and her Dad did this great drawing of Peckinpaw. Great job! I’ll send thru a drawing as soon as I finish inking today’s strip!

Thanks so much!

Sketches from a recent comic featuring Eggman in the shower. I like to do loose sketches beforehand to work out any potential problems with composition or expressions. You can see the finished comic by clicking here.
I just came across this Newsweek cover yesterday. Anyone who read last week’s ICECUBES the comic strip # 0154 knows that I drew Freeze’s head in a giant icecube. That strip was published last Thursday, March 3. Newsweeks mag. is dated March 7. Make the comparison and the tell me who’s copying who?
Is this a case of fan art run amok?
Writing a comic strip is fun and it can also be challenging. Coming up with new stuff on a constant basis is sometimes tougher than you might think. Charles Shulz said that it was difficult to explain to people that staring out the window in a daze was when he did his hardest work. He also said he had to use every idea that popped into his mind, because of the overwhelming demand of a daily strip.
Ideas occur at any time and rarely are they fully fledged so it’s a good habit to write them down right away. Of course that can happen anywhere and sometimes you don’t have your laptop or even a notepad handy! Here’s proof that I’ll write on anything just to make sure I don’t forget that idea- even if it’s not a great one! ๐
Here’s the finished strip:
I really do have to apologize for not posting new comic strips more regularly. ๐
I could list a ton of reasons why it’s just not possible yet, but as a reader you-just-want-more-comics; and rightfully so!
Even though it may seem like things are slowing down, in fact we are just getting started! ICECUBES is going to be in a real book! And you are going to be a big part of it. I am going to launch a Kickstarter project to get the first ICECUBES book printed and published and I’ll need your help. By participating and pledging you can make the book come to life! So keep an eye out for ICECUBES The Book on Kickstarter!
In other awesomely great news, ICECUBES has sold over 65 copies of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 on the Kindle! That’s amazing!! I am so grateful to all my readers and especially to all those who get the Kindle books. Watch for Vol. 3 coming out soon too! I’m also working on getting the books formatted for every other e-book reader like Kobo et al… So stay tuned, there is a lot more coming up. Your patience shall be rewarded! ๐
