Sad…
Posted on February 12, 2025 by Leroy Brown
Dear ICECUBES friends, it is with a very sad heart that I share with you that my dearly beloved wife passed away during the Christmas holidays. This has been very difficult for me and it is hard to even gather the courage to draw. I will try my best in the coming weeks to do more ICECUBES strips, but for now I just want to say thank you for being fans and God bless.

    I’m so sorry, Leroy. I can’t imagine what you must be going through emotionally, etc. All my best to you, and I hope and pray you’ll be ok. I just came across your channel today. I watched one of the traditional inking segments, and really got a lot out of it; really enjoyed it. Many, many thanks.

      Dear Tim, thank you very much for your message. I am so glad you enjoyed watching the video. I will try and do more on the traditional pen & ink style that I use. All the best!

#JeSuisCharlie

#JeSuisCharlie 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 Leroy Brown
