Freeze is hard at work.

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.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for a new contest coming soon! Lots more to come, so stay tuned and thanks for stopping by.

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! 😀

Super Comics Contest Special Prize!

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Leroy Brown

Thomas Baer is our Special Prize winner! He wins a Limited Numbered Artist Edition of ICECUBES the comic book! Congratulations!

Monday’s contest was so successful and exciting, that I’ve decided to extend it and add a special prize! Folks, this one is a little bit harder and that’s because the special prize is a limited numbered Artist Edition of ICECUBES the book! There are very few left of the original 200 numbered artist edition copies and you can win one!

So to recap, we are celebrating the wonderful contribution of Belgian artists to the world of comics. Many world famous cartoon and comics characters have come from Belgium. Now that you know the answers to the first 3 questions (read Monday’s post here) try to answer these tricky ones:
ICECUBES the comic strip

  • These 2 famous Belgian comics characters headlined their very own popular comics magazines. What are the names of these magazines in Flemish?

and
ICECUBES the comic strip

  • These famous cartoon characters were all created by a group of artists who created a distinct style of Belgian comics. This style, or ‘school’ is named after which town in Belgium?

The first one who answers both questions correctly in the comments section below, wins the limited edtion ICECUBES the comic book! Good luck! 🙂

Congratulations to the winners!

  • 2nd Prize: Michael Pohrer
  • 3rd Prize Louis J Gore

    • Great job! Check tomorrow’s update for a chance to win the special prize!

    Bonjour comic fans! Last week a cool thing happened at ICECUBES. The website got a bunch of visitors from Belgium! Belgium came in third place for most visits by country. That title is usually reserved for the UK or Australia, as ICECUBES is an English speaking comic. Belgium beat them this week! You may know that Belgium is the birthplace of the European School of Comics. Started just before WWII, the school flourished in the post-war period with many international comic stars.
