I was going to publish a new ICECUBES comic strip today, but the events in Paris have deeply saddened me. I used to live in Paris and I read Charlie Hebdo through the 1980s. I thought the drawings were sloppy and the jokes sometimes lame, but I liked the format and the rollicking no-holds-barred attitude and freedom they enjoyed. I knew Cabu and Wolinski’s work well and I still have old issues of the mag. They were the equivalent of the underground American cartoonists of the 60s and 70s. They lampooned everyone – the church, the pope, the president, actors, celebrities – sort of like an X-rated version of Mad magazine. When cartoonists are gunned down in their editorial meeting just for drawing silly cartoons it should tell us that we are in a cultural war. #JeSuisCharlie #IAmCharlie

Well, it's late and I have to go to bed. I hope you like this week's strip. Peckinpaw is kinda sore... I had some fun with the colors again and made 2 different versions, so try to see the differences on desktop vs. mobile and tell me which one you like best.
Ok, thanks for being such 'cool' ICECUBES fans!

Great art from my son Apollo 🙂 Who can name this character? 
No 4th of July is complete without snowballs!
