Minions #236 - I'm Not Trained for This...

Greetings, Double-threat-half-wits!


I've been editing video this weekend.  The bad news, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with Minions at Work!  Ha!

In fact, I've been too busy on other projects to do anything major with the Minions at all, save shooting today's cartoon.  But I have been scheming a bit.  I'm thinking about putting together some Minions cartoon collections in ebook form and releasing them through the Amazon Kindle Store (and possibly other ebook platforms as well).  While the Kindle device itself is black-and-white and not very good with images, there are lots of color platforms running Kindle apps now (iPad, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, etc.) which might make it worthwhile.

Right now, I'm figuring each book would consist of about 25 selected old cartoons, some new material, and a bunch of new supporting text.  Price to be determined, but it would be $2.99 or less.  Yes, most of this would be material already available for free on the web, but that would hardly be unprecedented in the blog/web-comic-to-book world.  Lots of people have done it, done it quite successfully, even when they're careful to point out that most of the content is free on the web.  Some people just prefer getting things in ebook form, and don't mind paying a little to get it that way.

Of course, it would be another way for you guys to possibly support our evil enterprises at the lair and conveniently show "Minions at Work" to your friends.  But I'm also thinking we might reach a new audience who aren't the web-comic type.

Anyway, as always, your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions are valued and ignored (or, if we like them, stolen), so enter a comment if you have any thoughts.

Greetings, Invasive Species!


Yes, the post is running a few hours late this week.  We had some unreliable power problems here at the lair this afternoon.  As usual, I blame the forces of Good!  I mean, this has been happening for the last month on an irregular basis!  You can't convince me there isn't some sort of conspiracy involved.  This whole line the power company is giving us about "the fog" causing "salt-buildup" on the wires in "a way we've never seen before."  I'm supposed to believe this?  It's either a bad SyFy channel movie, or meddling by the forces of Good.  I choose the latter.

But I'll keep it short!  See you all next week.

Greetings, Lost Luggage!


Yet another busy week working on secret plans here at the lair, so I'll keep this short.  New cartoon!


By the way, if you want clues as to our plans for universal conquest, pay a visit to a new on-line publisher called Tsunami Ridge Publishing.  Or just wait till next year, when we're (yes, there's a "we!") gonna start rocking several worlds!


Snicker.
