ICECUBES the comic strip #360
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Dear Wonderful ICECUBES Fans! I decided to create a special Christmas Comic since it’s been such an unusual year. I just wanted to thank you all for the support and love you have shown towards ICECUBES for so long. In celebration of the season I have also decided to sell the original art for this comic. It is drawn, inked and painted by hand on a 11″x17″ Canson Fan Boy blueline comic page. India ink and watercolors were used. Bluelines are showing on the original art as well as some cut and pasted paper. The lettering is also hand drawn. The price is $100 (+ shipping) and I will donate 50% of the proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I will autograph the page and make it out to whomever you designate. Thank you again so much for being great fans and hopefully we’ll see more of the ICECUBES ‘cool crew’ in 2022!
ICECUBES meets Mutt & Jeff (80 years later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Ha, ha, ha! 🙂 Check out this comic book cover from 1937! So similar to the cover page for ICECUBES’ first book ‘Noise Is News.’ I just saw this today and it made me smile. I had no idea I was channeling one of my all time favorites Mutt & Jeff cartoonist Bud Fischer. Oh well, great minds think alike. And take note that I only have a dozens copies of the first edition left, so get it while you can at http://www.chateaubooks.com

Well cool ICECUBES fans, some new things are in the works as we roll past the 300 strip mark! This spring watch out for an announcement about the new ICECUBES book! Also, Leroy Brown is now taking commissions! So if you want an original Leroy Brown drawing just get in touch through the contact tab above. You may have noticed some changes to the website as well as we introduce ads again. Hopefully this time around Google Adsense behaves and the ads stay more relevant. Thank you all for supporting ICECUBES and being cool fans! 🙂
Tintin & Joe Pipo on Free Comic Book Day.
Had a busy FCBD on Saturday. I went to Bedrock City Comics where I met Image Comics published authors Kody Chamberlain and Rob Guillory and I showed them Joe Pipo. Kody encouraged me to keep pitching to Image and other publishers. Bedrock City also said they like and support Joe Pipo, so this led me to think about perhaps crowd funding the first printing. What do you think? Would you support a Joe Pipo Kickstarter?
Also met a great fan Adrian to give him his commissioned drawing of Tintin! 🙂 If you would like to commission a drawing just email me: icecubescomic@yahoo.com
