You see, I have only managed to make $103 from <strong>ICECUBES<\/strong> so far this year and while you may say that&#8217;s still something, it&#8217;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&#8217;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 <strong>ICECUBES<\/strong> in a timely manner and be able to pay my taxes as well, I need to find revenue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/icecubes\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/patreonlogo-200px.png\" alt=\"patreonlogo-200px\" width=\"200\" height=\"88\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5910\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One method is a by publishing new book and one is coming real soon, so stay on the lookout!

It works like this: you decide an amount you are willing to pay as a <strong>monthly subscription to ICECUBES<\/strong>, 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 <strong>as little as $1<\/strong> a month and cancel at any time.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this works out as a good way to support the strip. <strong>In the meantime I wish you a beautiful Easter!<\/strong><br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/easter-150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/easter-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/easter.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><br \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for being an <strong>ICECUBES<\/strong> fan!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Leroy Brown <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter is my favorite season.
