Minions #205 - Thus the Name

Stand by, following the usual misfiling for a lost invoice from your Minion Master!

Your interminable wait is important to us. To serve you better, a supervisor may feed the representative assigned to serve you to the evil-cyborg-forklift just before they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care, just not about you."

Greetings, Misguided Seekers of Wisdom and Entertainment!

We'll be out of town next week, but I'll have the robot cue up a new cartoon for you on Monday anyway.  Reminders may be optional though, so remind yourself on Monday.

Hey, how about that Ancient Minion?  Maybe not the most spectacular entrance, but this is a character I've had sitting around for a while,  and I've been wanting to bring him on stage for a long time.  He fits into the whole mythology of the Minions I've worked up in my head.  More or less, here's what I'm thinking:

He's the previous, possibly the original, No. 1 (Note the backwards cap).  Among his underlings were the current No. 1 and General Zed.  Some kind of Cane and Able thing happened there, and thus the rivalry between No. 1 and Zed that continues to this day. 

Just thought you'd like to know.

Anyway, you'll be seeing more of the Ancient Minion, and he'll be passing wisdom to some of our other characters as well.

Hey, a few folks have actually tossed a little into the money-hole that is Minions at Work, by making contributions and buying products from our store.  To those who have done so, we thank you, from the dungeon of our heart.  Thanks for supporting the forces of evil.

The robot will see you guys next week!

Minions #203 - Robot Mythbehavior


Do not click for larger image unless you are a what-you-call, "expert!"

Greetings, Rouge Automatons!

Okay, it's no secret that we here at Minions Studios are big fans of the show Mythbusters!  It's a virtual encyclopedia of destruction and mayhem, all done in the most convoluted, difficult, and scientific manner possible, and that's pretty much how we roll!  Why develop your evil plans based on simplicity and reliability when can attempt to pull off something with real style? 

Of course, our evil plans never seem to work, and when there's an explosion, we're usually trapped in the middle of it.  But that's a small price to pay to achieve the high level of madness we look for in our science.

Just as a warning, Mrs. Minion Master and I will be heading down to Las Vegas through the last week of the month (with weekend side-trip to Los Angeles).  These plans are coming at the last minutes, so I'm scrambling to get Minions cartoons lined up.  Be assured that SOMETHING will post here while we're gone.  I just make no promises as to what, or how good it will be.  (Maybe it will be the funniest cartoons ever, but I wouldn't make book on it.)

Anyway, see you guys next week.

Greetings, Landing Party Animals!

Yes, we're late this week.  It's complicated.  Maybe I'll tell the story sometime, but not today.  Anyway, I'll keep it short and just send this off.  See you guys next week, maybe even on time!
