ICECUBES the comic strip #344

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Happy New Year everyone! Wow, 2024!! Hard to believe, but this will be the 16th year for ICECUBES the comic strip. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your support for the strip. There will be some new surprises this year! For starters, I will make a lot more artwork available for purchase by collectors. Also, "The I's Have It" is now available for $1.99 as a digital download at the ICECUBES Store. Thanks to all of you who are subscribers and if you would like to be one, it is only $1 per month - just hit the Members Only! button or click here!

Well, it's late and I have to go to bed. I hope you like this week's strip. Peckinpaw is kinda sore... I had some fun with the colors again and made 2 different versions, so try to see the differences on desktop vs. mobile and tell me which one you like best.

Ok, thanks for being such 'cool' ICECUBES fans!

Random found comics.

I found this torn up comic in an empty lot when I was waiting for my car to come out of Jiffy Lube. Now that’s pretty random! 🙂

2012 Year In Review!

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Leroy Brown

2012 was a big year for ICECUBES because of course the first ICECUBES book was printed! 🙂 “Noise Is News” is a success story from the very start, as it was entirely funded thru Kickstarter with the help of all you great fans! Thank you so much! The first printing of the book is more than two thirds sold out and fewer than 70 copies remain. Get yours soon if you haven’t yet!

In other good news: ICECUBES is now available in select comic book stores and is syndicated in a couple of newspapers! If you want to see ICECUBES in your local comic book store or paper, tell them to contact me!

Of course not everything is super positive and a realistic assessment of where we are needs to include the fact that while Icecubescomic.com got 165,000 visits in over 4 years, some webcomics get that in a few hours! We have improved the site considerably, thanks mostly to Phil @Frumph! But more traffic would make a big difference. One reason the traffic is not larger is in part because new strips aren’t posted often enough. Since ICECUBES is entirely funded out of my pocket and I need to find other work to pay the family bills, sometimes the strip takes a back seat. That’s too bad, but the one way to improve the update frequency is to support the strip! To that effect I have enabled a subscription option on the site. You can subscribe for only Ã‚Â¢25 a month! Yes, only a quarter a month to get every new strip directly in your inbox or RSS reader. Of course, you can still subscribe for free as well. This year I will be selling a lot more original art to raise funds for the strip, so buy some art! Tell a friend! Tell 10 friends about ICECUBES! 🙂 Buy a book!

Buy ICECUBES!

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Leroy Brown

Hello friends! The year is almost over and it’s just about time to take a look back at everything ICECUBES has achieved in 2012. The one thing we can all agree on is that everyone wants more new strips! Of course, I do too. For now though I am basically a one man show, with help from my family and occasionally great people like Richard Evans at Bedrock City Comics.

Sometimes things take a little longer than I would like and until ICECUBES is financially successful, making money for my family has to take precedence. So, the best way to see more strips more often is to support ICECUBES. Buy a book! It makes a great Christmas present that the whole family can enjoy! You can even get it at your local comic book store if you live in Houston, Chicago or New Orleans. If your store doesn’t carry it, ask them to! And if you want to buy a copy from me directly online, I’ll be sure to autograph it for you!
