Minions #182 - Practice Makes Imperfect


Stand by, following the usual long drop for a sudden stop by your Minion Master!

Your interminable wait is important to us. To serve you better, a supervisor may launch your representative orbit before into they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care, just not about you."

SUPPORT THE FORCES OF EVIL, WITHOUT WHOM YOU'D HAVE TO LIVE IN SOME BORING UTOPIA OR SOMETHING! HELP FINANCE "MINIONS AT WORK" BY BUYING STUFF YOU WERE GOING TO BUY ANYWAY! IT'S LIKE STEALING, ONLY LEGAL!
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!

Or visit our Amazon Lair Gift Shop for Minions-recommended merchandise featuring villainy from across pop-culture!

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:

Nah, not really, it all goes to ME, in order to further the cause of EVIL, and the photography thereof.

And yes, I'm finally on Twitter. Follow me. I'm JSteveYork there (clicking on the previous link will take you straight to my profile page.) Eventually I'm getting No. 1 his own account for Minions-related-business, but one thing at a time.

Still: We're everywhere! We're everywhere!


Greetings, Twitter Trainees!

We've been busy here at the lair. Spent some time yesterday painting some new set pieces that you'll doubtless see lots of in cartoons down the road. I just love my increasingly complex "build a lair kit." I love the smell of "Aluminum" spray paint in the morning. It smells like...well...not victory so much as a kind of nasty chemical smell. It's paint!

Hey, have you guys ever heard of the "Wilhelm Scream?" Maybe no, but you've certainly heard the Wilhelm Scream, more times than you can count. For over half-a-century it's been the universal sound effect when people fall to their doom. Like from, say, a catwalk. Read all about it here on Wikipedia.

And after you've done that, enjoy this little YouTube compilation so you'll understand just how common this little scream is:


Well, I know this will come as a terrible disappointment for you, but I'm not feeling terribly talkative today. It's rare, but it happens.

See you guys next week...
