Minions #204 - Introducing, the Ancient Minion!


It is written, he, or she, for we wish to be gender-neutral, who shall click the above image shall have unto she, or he, because we're still being gender-neutral, be delivered a larger cartoon, and yey, it shall be full-sized.  And it will be good.


Stand by, following the usual pontificating for an empty platitude 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 into the box shredder just before they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care, just not about you."

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



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!
