[edit] History

Cubetoons first appeared on IGN's GameCube section in January 2005 and is now a feature on IGN Wii. The comic follows the supposed antics of IGN journalists and deals with video games, technology, and art. Cubetoons.com was launched in February 2006.

Cubetoons is updated and posted to the IGN Wii section every Friday. (If JKR Isn't late of course)

Cubetoons's forum has approximately 950 members signed up on its forums as of April 2008, and steady growing comunnity.

The Cubetoons website was once hacked by an individual claiming his name to be "John Anthony", and was down for several days. It was restored on 15th August 2006 after being moved to a new host.
