Minions #82 - Working for Scale



Don't miss the latest ravings of a lunatic madman, your Minion Master, following the usual annoying noise...

While waiting for your impending doom, shop:
THE MINION'S LAIR OF MERCHANDISE
"If you're not 100% satisfied, then the beatings will begin!"

and

NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY

(Oh, come on. You know you want to be naughty!)

Join the Minions reminder email list or we will send a presidential candidate to kiss all your babies!* It's free, it's easy, and you'll never miss a Minions at Work cartoon (or if you do, it won't be our fault!)

*Actually, we're just going to send Minion Number Two and he's just going to bruise the little tyke's face with his gas-mask. This, however, is still better than being kissed by the candidate.)

An now some dire direction from your Minion Foreman.

Greetings, Mazer Mice,


We're back working on that darned maze this week. Sure but this would be a lot easier if they'd just use corn-stalks and pumpkins, but it's just not their way.

Lots of life-stuff going on this week, so I'm going to keep it short and sweet.

See you back here at the lair next Monday. Bring your friends!

This message actually happened to my best friend's cousin:

Greetings, Microwave Poodles,

I really don't think there's much to say about this week's panel except that there are two sides to every story. Sometimes more.

I'm still working to build up an inventory of Minions goodies for you here, to insure that you get new content every week come hell or high water. In fact, I've just put together the biggest Minions set ever. Uh, now I just need some jokes to go with it. But they're coming, honest!

I really feel much better when I've got a month or two of panels saved up here. It gives me flexibility when life throws things my way (like a recent family illness, fortunately with a happen ending, that just kept me distracted for a couple weeks, the pesky virus that had the Minions Mainframe coughing up blood for most of a week). Having an inventory of cartoons also lets me put together bigger and more elaborate sets and props without the worry of having to meet a weekly schedule. Good for me. Good for you.

Well, that's all for now. See you back here at the lair next Monday.

Please proceed left-right-left-left-right-left-right-right-right-left-right to our weekly message:

Greetings, Misdirections,


Yes, summer is officially over. School has started again, and your Evil-Overlords have reclaimed your bodies, if not your minds, from your summer vacation. But now we're approaching the time of harvest, when our thoughts naturally turn to old-fashioned corn mazes filled with trip-wire laser-cannon, electrified walls, and alligator pits. Ah, nostalgia!

Speaking of working hard or hardly working, just based on our piddly Minions Reminder List numbers, I'm still not seeing the traffic around here that I'd like to. That means that you've been shluffing off. Of course, I really shouldn't expect any more than that from my Minions, and yet I do. Please do your part and share a favorite "Minions at Work" cartoon with a friend, message group, or mailing list, today! Me and all the guys and gals in their tightie-whities here surely appreciate it!

Your call is important to us:

Greetings, music-on-hold,


We have our virus situation under control, however life has gotten complicated here in other ways I won't go into. Serve it to say, I don't really like to throw the exact same set (and pretty much the same setup) at you two weeks in a row, but that's how it worked this week.

Anyway, technically, if I was going to throw a Harry Potter tribute at you, I should have done it when book #7 came out, or when the most recent movie was released. But as it happens, I've finally been reading the books for the first time in a grand Potter marathon (I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through Order of the Phoenix) and so I've had Potter-on-the-brain recently. And when I was thinking, "what else could I do with this front-desk set," this just came to mind. Hope you enjoy...
