RICCARDUS from ICE CREAM MAN

JUSTIFICATION:

"1 I had a dream where this worked in calming him down. 2 Claims that the only constant in the physical plane is destruction and suffering and he could not give a shit about anything else, despite the 3 different issues that involve/mention this bitch trying to get married and/or start a family(even if that is for more suffering). 3 there's a variant cover of Issue 7 where she's in a Victorian dress and giving a thumbs up. I haven't actually kept up with the comic since Issue 25 but I'm sure there's more." - Anonymous

Comic books that you should read!!! Yes you!!! Right now!!!

These are comics I really enjoy! I'm trying to stick to slightly more obscure comics, preferably stuff that's a little newer, but that's by no means a rule! This is my list baby, I make the rules!

#1: Local Man (Image Comics, 2023)

Local Man follows Jack Xaver, who was once the superhero Crossjack before being unceremoniously kicked out of his team and legally barred from any vigilante activity. Moving back in with his parents in his destitute former hometown, Jack starts to unravel a conspiracy that has ties to both his old team and his old town.

It rules! It's funny and heartfelt and thrilling and if it were a TV show you'd never stop hearing about it. It's also one of the few modern original Image series that actually takes place in the "Image Universe", so it's packed with references to characters like Shadowhawk. You don't need to know all these guys to enjoy the comic by any means, but it's fun for long-time fans.

Most of all, I'm a fan of the basic conceit of this comic: it looks at The Dark Age of Comic Books with the same reverent-yet-critical eye that so many other comics used on the golden and silver ages. I think that rules! A lot of this stuff deserves reappraisal!

#2: The Wrong Earth (Ahoy Comics, 2018)

The concept for this is pretty simple: what if Adam West's Batman got sent to the world of the Nolan trilogy, and Christian Bale's Batman got sent to the world of the 1966 TV show?

They hit all the dramatic and comedic beats you could imagine coming from this premise, and a few you probably couldn't think of. It's not just a one-dimensional parody, though: really sharp writing and an engaging mystery elevate what could easily be, like, a Dorkly video into something special. Which is to say: if you think this premise sounds good you'll love this comic, and if you think it sounds stupid you'll probably still like this comic.

There are some cool character designs here, but my favorite is the villain in both universes:

His name is Number One, and he's a crime boss with an egomania/numbers gimmick. (Sorry for the compressed jpegs)

I imagine "design an original 1960s villain, and then design his edgy 2000s reboot version" would be a difficult prompt for an artist, but Jamal Igle knocks that shit outta the park. Number One really feels like he could fit into Batman's rogues gallery, but he's not a riff on anyone in particular-- he's kind of like all of them. The "1"-shaped scar is an especially great touch.

#3: Ice Cream Man (Image Comics, 2018)

(This image isn't from any cover as far as I can tell, it was posted on instagram by writer W. Maxwell Prince.)

Hey, another from Image Comics! And it's my favorite genre, too: horror anthology. If the pic I chose didn't tip you off, this one gets SPOOKAY! The basic premise is that every issue is a one-shot that features a character going through some kind of horrible misfortune. Tying all these tales of woe together is the enigmatic Ice Cream Man, who seems to be somehow torturing all these humans for his own amusement. We eventually learn that he's an evil god-type thing named Riccardus, and he has a good counterpart who's trying to stop him- all the lore stuff is a little vague, but that doesn't mean it's not interesting! The art style used by artist Martin Morazzo is almost uncanny-valley, it reminds me of The Shivering Truth.

Some of the "horror" in this comic is really personal and upsetting, by the way- the one about dementia made me cry. Actually, a lot of these made me cry. Full on snotty gasp-sobbing. 10/10. Riccardus has real sexyman potential if the freaks on this site would ever read something besides fuckin Wayne Family Adventures.

#4: Wayne Family Adventures (DC/Webtoon, 2021)

What? It's cute, fuck you. "eeuuuhhh it's out of character" you sound like a dweeb man

#5: Eight Billion Genies (Image Comics, 2021)

Just like The Wrong Earth, this has a killer elevator pitch: what if every single person on Earth got exactly one wish, all at the same time? Also like The Wrong Earth, it takes it's premise in every angle you can think of- there's wish trading, wish stealing, cities that are kept safe from the chaos of the outside world but you have to give the city government your wish to get in, you name it. No wonder Amazon bought the rights. Keep an eye out for that movie/series, I guess.

Ok, I need some non-image comics.

#6: Giant Days (Boom! Studios, 2015)

Anime fans, this one's for you: you know all those series you love about groups of cute girls just going through their daily lives? Well imagine if those cute girls were over eightee- hey wait where are you going come back

Giant Days is a slice-of-life story about three young women facing the challenges of college life. Apparently it's a spin-off of a webcomic with like 15 years of strips, but I don't care about all that and neither should you! It's a little like gilmore girls in terms of tone. The dialogue is snappy, all the characters play off each other in ways that's fun to see, and there's this 7 foot tall Australian rower chick who's completely obsessed with her reedy loser boyfriend. It's just comforting. It's like a big plate of mashed potatoes, this comic.

Hey, speaking of slice-of-life:

#7: Megg, Mogg and Owl (Indie/Fantagraphics, 2013ish)

This has the honor of being the only comic on this list that's been adapted to another type of media, in the form of a segment on Justin Roiland's weird kinda-shitty Hulu halloween special. Not much of an honor, I guess.

Anyways! MM&O is about a group of "friends" who live together in drug-addled squalor. Megg is a chronically depressed witch just waiting to die. Mogg, Megg's boyfriend, is a talking cat who just wants to keep the degenerate lifestyle they've built for themselves stable, and Owl is a neurotic sex addict who wants to make something of himself but doesn't want to lose his only companions, and Werewolf Jones is a drug-dealing sociopath. It's like Peep Show! I absolutely love this comic, I reread it constantly, but I'm having a hard time pitching it.

If Giant Days is a plate of mashed potatoes this is like... a gas station hot dog eaten over a storm drain or something. Still kind of comforting, just in a different way. Let's cleanse our palette with some capeshit.

#8: Planetary (Wildstorm/DC, 1998)

Planetary rocks. We follow an amnesiac immortal named Elias Snow as he travels the globe with his top-secret Planetary Investigations team to uncover the secrets of the Wildstorm universe. Think of it like... The X-Files crossed with The Venture Brothers. X-Files in that they investigate weirdo mysteries, Venture Brothers in that every genre of speculative fiction- from Doc Savage-style pulp heroes to Kaiju to James Bond superspies- all exist, or existed, in some form.

Also on the team besides Snow are The Drummer (who has some kind of information-based power I never really understood) and Jakita Wagner, the super-strong ADHD daughter of a Tarzan expy. It's hard to do it justice in a post like this, buy a copy! Or pirate it, if you don't want to give Warren Ellis any money!

#9: Bad Enders (Indie, 2020)

Hey, this one is free! Check it out here: https://beany-tuesday.itch.io/bad-enders-pilot-issue

Bad Enders is a shonen pastiche with all the humor and charm you could expect from a @beanytuesday joint. It's great! It follows a burnt-out twentysomething who once had ambitions of becoming a demon hunter, but has since resigned himself to a life of filling out excel spreadsheets. Beanytuesday has stated there probably won't be any more Bad Enders content, but he has another comic called GUE (https://beanytuesday.tumblr.com/tagged/gue/chrono) that takes place in the same universe.

#10: G-Man (Image Comics, 2009)

i bet you thought i was done with image huh

Anyways, this was my jam back in like 3rd grade and you know what? It holds up. When they say "all-ages" they fuckin mean all ages, I'm a grown man and I can enjoy this.

The story of this entry is that I wanted to end on 10 instead of 9.

The story of this comic is that a kid named Mikey G gets his hands on a magic blanket that allows him to fly, but his brother ALSO uses the magic blanket to fly with and they become, like, rivals, but this other kid can also fly and he starts fucking with them... better than it sounds. There's also this crazy arc later in the series where they have a baby brother but- hold on, I'll show you

See? Nuts.

Ok, that was all of them bye

Rick/Riccardus, from the comic Ice Cream Man. 

I have seen virtually nobody talk about this comic on this website. Well, here you go.

[thrilloffirstlove]

I just think about Rick in lbp...

[evil-cakes]

hey party people, guess who's back 🥳✨💜!! and i bring some Rick x Me content with me heehee 🥳🫶😻‼️✨

so as we can see…I’m experimenting with a new style, something that works for me, I think. but I’d call these a work in progress, I’m getting somewhere, and that’s enough for me 💖‼️✨🫶

it’s been a while, the Rick brainrot has been going as strong as ever u guyz, he never leaves my mind. and I find myself writing cheesy poetry about him, I find myself thinking about him in almost every situation like wow the brainrot is brainrotTING. but that’s the usual, ain’t it 😝✨🫶‼️

but more on Rick and I, I’ve been drawing him quite a bit, I’m planning a little zine too!! and I’ve been writing for us as well. I truly do love coming up with ideas for us since in concept, you can do anything and everything with him and it’ll stick!! I absolutely love that about him.

it’s stuff like this that encourages me to think outside the box and come up with outlandish scenarios, I’m so in love 😻✨🫶‼️‼️

more stuff to come darlings ✨‼️🫶😻🩷

listen to this song

[evil-cakes]

MORE RICK AND I GOODIES BEFALL YE!! ARRGHHH 🗣️‼️🔥‼️‼️🗣️✨‼️✨🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🗣️

silliness aside, these are a few pages out of the “Not-so-Secret Notebook of Riccardus-filled Delights” or the “RickBook” for short 😝✨‼️🫶

The first image is me feeling fresh after my haircut, so this is the self insert I’m running with these days. The next few pages are focused on poses, and other silly things.

The fifth image is one of a few studies I’ve done (this image is a rough study from a panel in Ice Cream Man Issue #29: Living Will). The last image is another pose I came across on Pinterest, and wanted to make an attempt…but I think the note on that page says more than enough.

I love coming up with concepts for him and I, it’s like my mind opens up and I end up thinking a lot. For the time being, I want to draw more of Rick, then I want to draw us both together and then proceed on to stuff like comics. Basically, I want to study Rick. that’s it 😝‼️✨🫶

this is what I’ve got so far, erm Rick is my pookie wookie schmookie bear who I love with all of my heart, and that’s about it for now u guyz ⭐️

until next time ✨🫶‼️💖

[evil-cakes]

I’ve started self-shipping.

to be fair, I’ve done lots of self-shipping before, but I mostly made up or wrote down scenarios and narratives in my head - so like, I’ve never drawn anything before - up until this point that is!

also anatomy isn’t really my strongest point, but issokie, baby steps…but I have figured out why some of the poses look so awkward, and imma fix that later. I think.

OOH and congrats to Riccardus for being the first out of all of my husbands to be seen w/ me in a drawing ✨ he’s the first man (…demon?) I’ve ever drawn myself with so…the 2024 award for being the first ever husband I’ve drawn with myself goes to…Riccardus!!!! yiiiipppeeeee!!!!

Although, I’m really in the mind to write something for/about him too, I already have a messy script done, just need to iron out the finer details…I’m a lil fixated as u can see :3

[evil-cakes]

a still photo from my library desk, featuring my darling Rick 🫶✨⭐️‼️

i loved the latest issue, a lot. not only did it tackle some *very* real issues that we’re living through as we speak, but it gave us some seriously yummylicious Rick panels :3‼️⭐️✨

he can perform surgery on me any day heehee ❤️(im sorry folks.)

anyways, i like this photo, a lot, hence why it’s here now :•)

[dubiousdisco]

Weirdly enough, even though rick puts thoughts like "how are we supposed to raise children in a world like this" inside people's heads, he himself has tried to start a family at least three times. What does it say if the actual personalization of invasive pessimistic thoughts doesn't agree with the thoughts he sends you?

[thrilloffirstlove]

Why the fuck is riccardus like that

[thrilloffirstlove]

🌙🌙🌙

Aaaa I am going to talk about Rick AND! Geek cause I am thinking of both

Ok so the whole reason me and Riccardus's relationship is the way that it is is because I have so much autism swag that he's basically pacified. But only to me, everyone else still has to watch out

Also everytime he brings up kids in anyway I start pulling out artichokes. He hates it when I do that

Me and Geek do live in the same building but in completely different parts. She goes to the subbasement of solitude for lab stuff and I make the precarious journey upstairs(the building isn't in that good condition) to make people think the building is haunted as well. The only other people who are in there are Sam and Max and. Flint Paper.
