Happy Easter!

Posted on April 1, 2015 by Leroy Brown

Easter is my favorite season. The flowers are popping out, the trees are getting green again, all the little critters are about…
ICECUBES the comic strip Easter
Unfortunately, this year it also coincides with tax season, which is a major drag. 🙁 That’s why even though there is a new half-finished ICECUBES strip on my drawing table, begging to be inked, it’s just not going to happen right away. You see, I have only managed to make $103 from ICECUBES so far this year and while you may say that’s still something, it’s really only the result of 2 years of Google ads on the website. As you may have noticed, the ads are now gone and that’s a good thing, they were slowing down the site and often had nothing to do with comics. So, for me to continue to make ICECUBES in a timely manner and be able to pay my taxes as well, I need to find revenue.

One method is a by publishing new book and one is coming real soon, so stay on the lookout! Another method is Patreon. I discovered Patreon through many other artists that use it. It works like this: you decide an amount you are willing to pay as a monthly subscription to ICECUBES, in return you get special bonus rewards reserved for subscribers only. This way you are supporting the strip and becoming part of a special club of subscribers and supporters. You can subscribe for as little as $1 a month and cancel at any time.

I hope this works out as a good way to support the strip. In the meantime I wish you a beautiful Easter!


Thank you so much for being an ICECUBES fan!

Support ICECUBES!

Posted on March 27, 2015 by Leroy Brown

Hello fans, friends and family!

As I write this it is very late at night (or early in the morning, however you want to look at it). I was of course busy drawing this weeks strip, but just ran out of time. This week I have had 100 different other things to do and the strip will have to wait. Among the other things I am doing however are some very exciting ICECUBES related news items!

First, I am finally releasing the second ICECUBES book! You will be able to pre-order your copy on Kickstarter probably beginning next week, so watch out for that.

Second, I have put together a way to make it easier for fans to show their support for ICECUBES. By just going to the new ICECUBES Patreon page, you can become a patron and actively support the strip and get some pretty cool rewards too! So, look out for the new ICECUBES book on Kickstarter coming really soon and go to Patreon to support ICECUBES!patreonlogo

Thank you so much for reading ICECUBES!

Successful Charity Auction!

Posted on December 15, 2014 by Leroy Brown

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!
