Dear Friends,
Yes, I am snowed under! For the next 3 weeks I am working on a very big project and unfortunately I won't have time to draw new ICECUBES strips. I am so sorry and I hope you will forgive me for not planning better in advance. In the meantime I will try to post some good classic strips that will make you smile. Thanks for being loyal readers! More new strips coming real soon. :)

My favorite cartoon is by far King of the Hill. I just love the understated tone and the rhythm of the stories. It’s not full of slap dash one liners, sex jokes or poop humor. It’s hard to write like that and I think Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame created a good cartoon.

Everybody knows Hank Hill’s self loathing neighbor Bill Dauterive. The inside joke is that one of the original writers and executive producer’s name is Jim Dauterive. Here’s picture proof that there’s another Dauterive out there too! 🙂
When I’m doing a comic that includes unusual backgrounds or props I’ll go and get references to draw from. Here I needed some props for an abandoned arctic research lab. It’s always a good idea to draw from real life.
Here’s a picture of me standing next to a giant penguin! It’s a real size model of Pachydyptes the New Zealand Giant Penguin! He lived about 30 million years ago in New Zealand and was over 5 feet tall! I took this picture at the Auckland Museum in Auckland New Zealand.
