ICECUBES the Comic Strip #362

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Leroy Brown

Hi dear friends, welcome to a new ICECUBES comic strip. Peckinpaw is still feeling somewhat blue (and so am I...) But I really wanted to start drawing strips again. Also, please support the strip by clicking on the ads, it really helps! Thanks.

How do you like the colors on this strip? I was looking for a new palette that reflected my mood better and this is the closest I could get. We’ll see how it develops in future strips. My color process is always a bit of a struggle. I don’t have any set rules and I end up experimenting a lot. Let me know what you think!

Color matters! Peanuts vs. McDonalds.

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Leroy Brown

It used to be that comics had really great colors. Big primary colors printed with halftone dots. A lot of the times the color dots were off register and would bleed outside the lines. That was so cool! In fact my wife and I agree that it made the comic better when the color was off register like that! Nowadays I’ve noticed that colors are no longer printed that way. In fact colors lay real flat on the page now and seem to look dull in some cases. For instance this Peanuts Sunday cartoon just looks flat and lifeless.

The colors are drab and dull. Its quite upsetting actually to see a once great comic strip like Peanuts reduced to looking second rate. Whoever colored this did an awful job. But that’s not the only problem. The colors are extremely flat and are perfectly within the lines, how deadening is that? Sometimes too much technology just kills something great. I did find something cool though. It seems that McDonalds still uses the old halftone print jobs on their Happy Meal bags! I think they look great by the way and so much more dynamic than that poor Peanuts strip. Good job McDonalds, I hope they keep it up!
