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 THANK YOU!

Leroy Brown Season’s Greetings!
Successful Charity Auction!
Dear friends,
I just wanted to thank you for showing your support during the ICECUBES Charity Book Auction for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Over 450 visitors went to the Ebay page! The announcement was picked up on Twitter and got massive retweets, thanks in particular to @CharitySharer. A wonderful anonymous ICECUBES patron won the auction and donated $100 for us to give to St. Jude! Plus I will donate 10 copies of the book. Thank you so much for being awesome ICECUBES followers and friends. Have a super great Holiday Season!

Apollo Art.
Great art from my son Apollo 🙂 Who can name this character? Snowball Stand.
No 4th of July is complete without snowballs!
This stand is even ‘cooler’ than Nooky’s 😉
Just look at that kid, he can hardly wait! Running out of ICECUBES Books!
I’m running out of the first printing of ICECUBES the Book. A lot went at the last 2 conventions and very few Numbered Artist Editions are left.
In fact I have 8 numbered books left and here are the numbers: 170 / 176 / 177 / 178 / 186 / 195 / 192 / 198. Email me with the number you want. I will sign every book! 🙂
