Well here is the very first comic strip ever drawn by Peckinpaw. What do you think? Does Percy deserve to be in more strips? Let Peckinpaw know by leaving a comment below.

Hello cool friends, I have some great news to share. We have a bunch of new readers! What we have found out is that most of you read the strip on your smartphones now that the strip is published every week. While Peckinpaw might not be happy about that, it does mean we have to think about how to maximize your viewing experience while visiting the ICECUBES website. So, as a result, we will be making some changes to the layout and behind the scenes to accommodate the new format. The hardest part is figuring out how to best present the comic vertically. So, pardon our dust as we work on the site and add new features. We’ve already activated our Member’s Only! area, which allows you to read ALL the Classic ICECUBES comic strips. For only $1 per month, you can go through the entire archives of ICECUBES, plus get exclusive news and prizes only reserved for members.

Funnies #9 from 1937!

Posted on May 17, 2023 by Leroy Brown

This “Funnies” comic book is from the early era of transition to comic books. Comic strips have existed since the late 1880s but comic books started in the 1930s. Of course they began by re-printing the comic strips from newspaper syndicated strips before any new characters and stories were developed. So, this issue #9 carries newspaper strips such as Alley Oop, Captain Easy, Mutt & Jeff. The art on this is so bad it makes my teeth hurt, but such was the birth of comic books!

Will Henry: a gentleman and an artist.

I have to give a tip of the hat to @MrWillHenry for:
1/ taking time to answer my tweets
2/ being an inspiration with such great art
3/ getting me to go from 13×4" to 14×5" as my new format (see pic) I am still getting used to it but it is definitely more space. #comicstrips pic.twitter.com/YSjrECRDwf

Daredevil Dan Comic Book Ad

Posted on May 3, 2023 by Leroy Brown

I found this cool retro toy ad on the back cover of a Harvey Comics comic book from the ’70s. “Tournament of Thrills” and “Wild Power Spin-Outs”. Came with a “Mustang II”, Daredevil Dan, hook, thrill-bar, jump-ramp, barrels and a T-stick to rev up the car. 😀 I bet it was a bunch of fun too! Kenner always had the best cheap plastic toys and the best ads for them. Still amazes me to think that Kenner belonged to the General Mills cereal company. I always wondered who they would get to illustrate those ads. Whoever did it had to ink all the lettering and cram all that information into that drawing, not that easy!
