Overlords #148 - Snake Eyes


Stand by, following some new commercial jibber-jabber for a time-out from your Minion Master!

Your visit is important


NEW! SUPPORT "MINIONS AT WORK" BY BUYING STUFF YOU WERE GOING TO BUY ANYWAY!

We're now Amazon.com affiliates, which means that if you click on the Amazon link in our sidebar and make purchases from Amazon, a tiny little sliver of what you spend goes to support these fine (maybe even near-mint!) cartoons!

Later, we'll be adding a selection of Minion-recommended merchandise, but until then, use your imagination. Books, videos, electronics, games, maybe even ACTION FIGURES!
Minions at work is inadequately supported during this financial crisis by your purchases from our web stores and our advertisers. Feed the economy and help us bleed green just a little more slowly by purchasing tee-shirts, buttons, calendars, hats, undies (we kid not!), and other fine Minions at Work items at one of the following stores.

While waiting for your impending doom, pick up a Minions at Work tee-shirt or other great souvenir of your visit to the Lair:
THE MINION'S LAIR OF MERCHANDISE
"Satisfaction guaranteed or we'll make make you buy something else!"

and

NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY
(Naughty is as naughty does!)

Join the Minions Reminder Email List. 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!)

Greetings, Stay-at-homes!

We're in sunny Florida this week for the Space Coast Writers Conference, so while we're getting carjacked and shot at, Minions at Work is on autopilot. Also, if you missed it, we posted a BONUS Minions cartoon mid-week. Go back and have a look. See you when we get back.

How did you get into writing?
I think your Minions at Work cartoons are funny! :D

Hi, Cakequeen. Glad you like "Minions at Work."

I've been telling stories as long as I can remember, and I guess if you pinned me down, I'd say I'm a storyteller first, and a writer second. In other words, I like telling entertaining stories no matter the form. I've published novels, short stories, written for computer games, film, radio, and of course, web-comics.

If you're asking how I broke into the business, that's a longer story. I'd suggest you drop by the site I share with my writer-wife Chrstina, www.YorkWriters.com , and from there, check out our individual blogs. We've done lots of posts about the writing business, with more coming all the time, that you might find interesting, and that would be a better place to answer your questions.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks very much. That is very helpful and interesting Steven.
My dad, Mark Toner has talked to you on the Major Matt Mason message board thing before.
