Sad…
Posted on February 12, 2025 by Leroy Brown
Dear ICECUBES friends, it is with a very sad heart that I share with you that my dearly beloved wife passed away during the Christmas holidays. This has been very difficult for me and it is hard to even gather the courage to draw. I will try my best in the coming weeks to do more ICECUBES strips, but for now I just want to say thank you for being fans and God bless.

    I’m so sorry, Leroy. I can’t imagine what you must be going through emotionally, etc. All my best to you, and I hope and pray you’ll be ok. I just came across your channel today. I watched one of the traditional inking segments, and really got a lot out of it; really enjoyed it. Many, many thanks.

      Dear Tim, thank you very much for your message. I am so glad you enjoyed watching the video. I will try and do more on the traditional pen & ink style that I use. All the best!

    Hello cool friends, I have some great news to share. We have a bunch of new readers! What we have found out is that most of you read the strip on your smartphones now that the strip is published every week. While Peckinpaw might not be happy about that, it does mean we have to think about how to maximize your viewing experience while visiting the ICECUBES website. So, as a result, we will be making some changes to the layout and behind the scenes to accommodate the new format. The hardest part is figuring out how to best present the comic vertically. So, pardon our dust as we work on the site and add new features. We’ve already activated our Member’s Only! area, which allows you to read ALL the Classic ICECUBES comic strips. For only $1 per month, you can go through the entire archives of ICECUBES, plus get exclusive news and prizes only reserved for members.

    Funnies #9 from 1937!

    This “Funnies” comic book is from the early era of transition to comic books. Comic strips have existed since the late 1880s but comic books started in the 1930s. Of course they began by re-printing the comic strips from newspaper syndicated strips before any new characters and stories were developed. So, this issue #9 carries newspaper strips such as Alley Oop, Captain Easy, Mutt & Jeff. The art on this is so bad it makes my teeth hurt, but such was the birth of comic books!

    Daredevil Dan Comic Book Ad

    Daredevil Dan Comic Book Ad from the 1970s
    I found this cool retro toy ad on the back cover of a Harvey Comics comic book from the ’70s. “Tournament of Thrills” and “Wild Power Spin-Outs”. Came with a “Mustang II”, Daredevil Dan, hook, thrill-bar, jump-ramp, barrels and a T-stick to rev up the car. 😀 I bet it was a bunch of fun too! Kenner always had the best cheap plastic toys and the best ads for them. Still amazes me to think that Kenner belonged to the General Mills cereal company. I always wondered who they would get to illustrate those ads. Whoever did it had to ink all the lettering and cram all that information into that drawing, not that easy!
