ICECUBES the comic strip. #0291
Posted on April 21, 2016 by Leroy Brown
Speaking of technology, did you know that you can navigate through all the past ICECUBES comic strips on the website by simply using your arrow keys? Try it! Just tap the back arrow and watch last week's comic pop right up! If you think that's amazing, you're right and it's all in large part thanks to a guy named Philip Hofer, otherwise known as Frumph. testscreen-buttons Back in the day when I decided to put ICECUBES online, I had no idea how to design a website. So I did my best to cobble together a botchy WordPress site. Little by little, through intensive research I finally came across ComicPress. ComicPress was a way to publish comics that could be read online in an intuitive, user friendly way. Setting it up wasn't easy especially since I wanted to customize my page. That's when I reached out to Comicpress's creator Frumph. Lo and behold he didn't hesitate to teach me all kinds of things about php, css and sundry variables that would allow ICECUBES to end up looking the way it does today. Over the months and years Frumph was always there to help with coding. Recently he helped me with a new comics project I am about to launch. So I decided to thank him in this post and point out that he now has a Patreon account where you too can get help with your comic site.

Joe Pipo Contest!

Posted on December 5, 2016 by Leroy Brown
Hi cool ICECUBES friends! As you know I have been working secretly on my new comic project called Joe Pipo (check out the Facebook page here.) Joe Pipo Cover Well, I finished the ashcan pitch that I am sending out to prospective publishers. Keep your fingers crossed! Joe Pipo is a great comic adventure that takes place in a retro futuristic 1980s New York City! To celebrate I will be giving away 5 copies of the ultra rare Joe Pipo ashcan! Here’s how to enter:
  • 2/ Share the page on your timeline (under the ‘More’ tab)
  • 3/ Joe Pipo was originally featured in a New York underground newspaper. Which one? Message me the answer on Facebook (please do not post it in the comments!)
 Ok, that’s it. Please follow the rules! Keep your eyes out for another ICECUBES contest coming next week! Thanks for being such cool fans! 😀

Drawing Joe Pipo.

ICECUBES drawing table / Joe Pipo Hi folks, lately I’ve been concentrating on my graphic novel called “The Adventures of Joe Pipo in New York.” It’s a completely different format from ICECUBES and the drawing style is a lot more detail oriented. I enjoy the challenge but it takes time! I am hoping to submit the project to publishers real soon, keep your fingers crossed. You can like & follow Joe Pipo on Facebook here: –> https://www.facebook.com/joepipocomic/

Thanks for following ICECUBES!

Joe Pipo

The Adventures Of Joe Pipo Hey ICECUBES readers! Long time no new strips I KNOW!! So sorry. It’s been a long summer and I truly needed some time to spend with my family and also work on other projects. The main project is ‘The Adventures Of Joe Pipo’ a graphic novel idea that I have had for a long time. I will be pitching it to publishers in the next few weeks with the hopes of getting the first book out within months. Making ‘Joe Pipo’ is fun but a lot of hard work too since the writing and art style are very different from ICECUBES. I will update you as I go along in this quest to finally make this book happen. Thanks for being fans of my work and keep your eyes out for an ICECUBES surprise soon too! 🙂 Leroy Brown
