ICECUBES Syndication Submissions.

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Leroy Brown

Dear Fans!

ICECUBES is being submitted for syndication to major newspapers. This would be the culmination of all the hard work put in over the years and the great support you have shown all along. But I can’t do this without you! It’s easy to help out, all you need to do is click on this link to the ICECUBES Facebook page and read some ICECUBES comic strips. Click on the pages you like the best and the pages with the most ‘likes’ will get submitted to the syndicates. This way you are helping to make sure they see the strips you like the most.

I can’t tell you how much your support for ICECUBES means. I create the strip for you and always have you in mind. Through the emails and tweets, meeting you at the comic conventions and finally sharing the book with you, your support makes ICECUBES come alive. Thank you so much for reading ICECUBES and let’s work to make the strip even bigger and better! 🙂

2012 Year In Review!

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Leroy Brown

2012 was a big year for ICECUBES because of course the first ICECUBES book was printed!
🙂

“Noise Is News” is a success story from the very start, as it was entirely funded thru Kickstarter with the help of all you great fans! Thank you so much! The first printing of the book is more than two thirds sold out and fewer than 70 copies remain. Get yours soon if you haven’t yet!

In other good news: ICECUBES is now available in select comic book stores and is syndicated in a couple of newspapers! If you want to see ICECUBES in your local comic book store or paper, tell them to contact me!

Year in numbers:

  • 165,000 lifetime website visits
  • 2000 + ebooks downloaded from Amazon
  • #32,647 best rank on Amazon out of over 2,000,000 available titles (not bad!)
  • 1354 Facebook friends
  • 588 Twitter followers
  • 219 Facebook page fans
  • 100 Feed subscribers on average
  • 7 Conventions
  • 6 Podcasts
  • 4 Comic book stores
  • 2 Newspapers in syndication
  • 1 Book!



    • Of course not everything is super positive and a realistic assessment of where we are needs to include the fact that while Icecubescomic.com got 165,000 visits in over 4 years, some webcomics get that in a few hours! We have improved the site considerably, thanks mostly to Phil @Frumph! But more traffic would make a big difference. One reason the traffic is not larger is in part because new strips aren’t posted often enough. Since ICECUBES is entirely funded out of my pocket and I need to find other work to pay the family bills, sometimes the strip takes a back seat. That’s too bad, but the one way to improve the update frequency is to support the strip!

    To that effect I have enabled a subscription option on the site. You can subscribe for only ¢25 a month! Yes, only a quarter a month to get every new strip directly in your inbox or RSS reader. Of course, you can still subscribe for free as well.

    This year I will be selling a lot more original art to raise funds for the strip, so buy some art! Tell a friend! Tell 10 friends about ICECUBES! 🙂
