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!

    Freeze is hard at work.
    Hello cool friends, I have some great news to share. We have a bunch of new readers! What we have found out is that most of you read the strip on your smartphones now that the strip is published every week. While Peckinpaw might not be happy about that, it does mean we have to think about how to maximize your viewing experience while visiting the ICECUBES website. So, as a result, we will be making some changes to the layout and behind the scenes to accommodate the new format. The hardest part is figuring out how to best present the comic vertically. So, pardon our dust as we work on the site and add new features. We’ve already activated our Member’s Only! area, which allows you to read ALL the Classic ICECUBES comic strips. For only $1 per month, you can go through the entire archives of ICECUBES, plus get exclusive news and prizes only reserved for members.

    Funnies #9 from 1937!

    Posted on May 17, 2023 by Leroy Brown

    Funnies comic book 1930s
    This “Funnies” comic book is from the early era of transition to comic books. Comic strips have existed since the late 1880s but comic books started in the 1930s. Of course they began by re-printing the comic strips from newspaper syndicated strips before any new characters and stories were developed. So, this issue #9 carries newspaper strips such as Alley Oop, Captain Easy, Mutt & Jeff. The art on this is so bad it makes my teeth hurt, but such was the birth of comic books!

    Daredevil Dan Comic Book Ad

    Daredevil Dan Comic Book Ad from the 1970s
    Daredevil Dan Comic Book Ad from the 1970s
    I found this cool retro toy ad on the back cover of a Harvey Comics comic book from the ’70s. “Tournament of Thrills” and “Wild Power Spin-Outs”. Came with a “Mustang II”, Daredevil Dan, hook, thrill-bar, jump-ramp, barrels and a T-stick to rev up the car. 😀 I bet it was a bunch of fun too! Kenner always had the best cheap plastic toys and the best ads for them. Still amazes me to think that Kenner belonged to the General Mills cereal company. I always wondered who they would get to illustrate those ads. Whoever did it had to ink all the lettering and cram all that information into that drawing, not that easy!

    Funny Animal by Leroy Brown ~ created while inking ICECUBES
    Check out this goofy guy that popped up while I was inking the latest ICECUBES comic strip. I was just practicing before jumping onto the strip and this guy showed up. You can see I also practiced my lettering. ICECUBES is all hand-drawn, including he lettering (which is the hardest part!) Thanks for reading ICECUBES the comic strip and remember to click on the ads, it really helps!
