Your torture (Delete unapproved language. Replace:) enhanced interrogation is important to us. To serve you better, your torture (Delete unapproved language. Replace:) enhanced interrogation may be repeated several hundred times (Delete unapproved language. Replace:) twice because one definition of insanity is repeating a failed strategy and expecting different results (Delete unapproved language. Replace:) it always works when Jack Bauer does it on 24, and that's as close to a documentary as you can get.

Greetings, Below-deck-hands!

Hey, while we're cleaning up at Minions Studios, I decided it would be a good opportunity to clear some slightly soiled factory seconds out of our Bulging Warehouse of Doom (Bulging Warehouse of Doom would, by the way, be a great name for a rock band) and give you guys a twofer this week. So there's a second Minions at Work cartoon following this message.

Also, if you had to scroll down here, I figured there's at least a slightly higher than usual possibly that you'll actually read this crap!

Not to sound like a broken record (which actually sounds something like tisk--tisk--tisk--tisk-ssssccccraaaach! CRACK!), it's tax refund time, and assuming you actually got something back, and assuming you don't need it to keep the lights and water on, maybe you were planning to buy something fun for yourself. (The Kindle 2 seems to be all the rage this year.) If you're gonna blow the cash anyway, how's about clicking though our links in the sidebar to Amazon.com and do your shopping there. (It's the ONLY place to buy Kindle. Did I mention Kindle?)

Okay, failing that, how about a good, old-fashioned book? You know, something with a semi-dressed person on the cover. You know. Literature.

Either way, costs you nothing, and a little sliver of your purchase supports Minions at Work. Come on. You don't want us laying Minions off, do you? (Really? That's cold, man!)

And if you're too damned cheap to buy anything, how's about leaving us a comment? We love to hear from you almost as much as we like getting money. Well, not really, but it just barely beats out a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Greetings, Lay-offs!

Let's face it. He's got a hidden lair, an army of industrious slaves to do his bidding, and dozens of awesome super-powers. It's a good thing Santa is on our side.

He is still on our side, isn't he? I mean, the economy is hard on everyone, and Christmas wasn't very festive this year.

Uh-oh. Better go buy some razor-wire to hang around the chimney with care...

Greetings, Fry Babies!

I try not to go crazy on the photo-editing here. I prefer my Minions "real." But sometimes, special effects are just required. Also, I'm still in the middle of rearranging things here at Minions Studios to give myself more working room, and to better organize my props, figures, and set pieces, so it was hard to shoot anything new.

Okay, actually I did shoot something new, but it was on the lab set you've seen several times lately, so I decided to keep it in inventory for later use, and mix things up a bit.

Anyway, keep those cards and letters (well, comments) coming! I know you're out there. I can hear you breathing. (That is you isn't it? Because, what else could it... AAAAAAGHAAARHGAH!)

Greetings, Fans on a Stick!

Well, I've run a bit late the last couple weeks (usually only a few hours, but...) and last week I completely forgot the reminder-list email until Thursday. Bad Minion Master! Bad! Anyway, I'm trying to get out a bit early this week.

But a lot has been going on here. Hope to have some major mad-science related news to announce next week, but I hate to jump the gun until the deal is closed on publishing things.

I'm also doing some major re-arranging here at Hangar 18 (AKA Minions Studios) that I'm hoping will give me more room for my photo setups, and allow me to better organize and store all my Minions props and set pieces. We'll see how that works out. I get bored seeing variations on the same sets and setups every week, and I'm sure you do too. Hopefully this will let me shake things up a bit.

Anyway, keep those cards and letters (well, comments) coming!


- Your Under-overlord, Steve
