Dear Wonderful ICECUBES Fans! I decided to create a special Christmas Comic Strip since it's been such an unusual year. I just wanted to thank you all for the support and love you have shown towards ICECUBES for so long. In celebration of the season I have also decided to sell the original art for this comic. It is drawn, inked and painted by hand on a 11"x17" Canson Fan Boy blueline comic page. India ink and watercolors were used. Bluelines are showing on the original art as well as some cut and pasted paper. The lettering is also hand drawn. The price is $100 (+ shipping) and I will donate 50% of the proceeds to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I will autograph the page and make it out to whomever you designate. Thank you again so much for being great fans and hopefully we'll see more of the ICECUBES 'cool crew' in 2022!

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.

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! Be sure to:
I have to give a tip of the hat to @MrWillHenry for: 1/ taking time to answer my tweets 2/ being an inspiration with such great art 3/ getting me to go from 13×4" to 14×5" as my new format (see pic) I am still getting used to it but it is definitely more space. #comicstripspic.twitter.com/YSjrECRDwf
