I originally made them for my first big convention when I decided I did not want to print a vinyl banner like everyone else. I find the banners lack personality and are very expensive. So <strong>Freeze <\/strong>and <strong>Peckinpaw <\/strong>have always stood on my table and kept me company while I drew commissions or signed books. But on <strong>Saturday, October 24th 2026, Peckinpaw<\/strong> was stolen from the <strong>Grand Ballroom <\/strong>of the <strong>Embassy Suites<\/strong> in <strong>Norman, Oklahoma.<\/strong> The cutouts were hand painted with acrylics on foam core boards and were designed to fold up in the trunk of my car.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_8945\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8945\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table-250x150.jpg\" alt=\"Leroy Brown with Peckinpaw cutout selling books at a convention.\" width=\"250\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-8945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table-550x330.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table-980x588.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.icecubescomic.com\/today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ww-table.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leroy Brown with Peckinpaw cutout selling books at a convention.<\/figcaption><\/figure><em>Why would someone steal <strong>Peckinpaw? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p> It&#8217;s surprising, given that I had dozens of <a href=\"https:\/\/chateaubooks.square.site\/\" target=\"_blank\">original comic strips<\/a> for sale at a very reasonable price and would have been glad to do a <a href=\"https:\/\/chateaubooks.square.site\/product\/art-commission-by-leroy-brown\/9?cs=true&#038;cst=custom\" target=\"_blank\">commission<\/a> as well.
