Bo Lumpkin was probably ICECUBES’ biggest fan. For a couple of years now he faithfully read ICECUBES and always commented on the strips. Often his comment would be the only one the strip would get. Even during lean times when it seemed all the other readers had disappeared, I could always count on Bo. I loved Bo’s comments. They were always funny, clever and most of all supportive.
I remember one time when I felt the strip was being completely ignored and the web stats were down in the low single digits, there it was: a comment from Bo! I replied to his comment:
“Hey Bo, knew I could count on you! 🙂 I’m hearing crickets otherwise… I think the internet generation is miffed ;)”
and Bo replied this:
“Crickets might be a good idea. No one seems to be bittin’ the other bait I keep throwin’ out.”
Classic Bo!
At times I can honestly say that his comments were the only thing that kept me motivated.
So for that, I can only say: “Thanks Bo! :)”

ps: as proof of how good a friend Bo was to us webcomic artists, here’s a short list of other tributes:
Life On 66
Bug Pudding
Bearman Cartoons
My Life In The Trenches
The Joy Of Stephen

Lost a friend ? Sorry for you…. I try to comment but have problems logging in…I still like the idea of the Iceberg floating under other climes…

🙂 thank you!

This is so beautifully written. I should “thank you” Leroy, except that you’ve caused me to re-live the emotions all over. How is it possible that the loss of an online friend could be so great?
I had nearly the same comfort knowing Bo was reading.

Thank you Tim. I know how you feel. I had really come to expect Bo’s comments, as I said his were often the only ones. I’ll miss that. He had a great sense of humor and a real positive attitude. At least he left us some good memories! 🙂
