Greetings, Magnetic Deviations and Uncorrected Courses!


This being a holiday weekend, I'd normally wait to post this week's cartoon on Tuesday, but this is a SPECIAL week here at the lair, and we have a SECOND, TOP SECRET cartoon that will appear later in the week!  In fact, it's so secret, even WE don't know what it is yet!  But we'll come up with something!  Check back, oh, Thursday or so!

Minions #298 - Head Case (and a mystery FREE ebook!)

Click Cartoon for Bigger Delusions!

---

Greetings, Reruns!

No, you haven't seen this cartoon before.  Okay, you have seen this pictures before, just two weeks ago.  Actually, I did this version first, but then I came up with a second punch-line, asked Mrs. Minion Master which one she liked best, and she picked the other one.  So what you've got here is your basic sloppy seconds.  Or, maybe YOU would have picked THIS as the funnier one, I don't know.  All I really know is, traffic really drops off here around the holidays, so like the TV networks, I don't feel bad about a LITTLE recycling.  However, to make it up to you, I've got an early Christmas present for you.  Keep reading!

Get My New "Panorama Beach" Mystery Ebook, "The Best Devil Money Can Buy" for (play irony music!) FREE from Smashwords.com!

What's "Panorama Beach?"  The fictional Florida Panhandle tourist town that's the setting of my new mystery series, of which "The Best Devil Money Can Buy" is the first installment.  Here's the blurb:

In 1967 Panorama Beach, is awash with dirty money: Developer money, drug money, vice money, and green-deputy Tommy “Mustang” Sawtell might just be the last untouched lawman in north Florida. But Mustang is about to be tested as he investigates his first suspicious death, a “floater” found in a pond under the Sky Bucket ride, from which the deputy believes he fell, jumped – or was thrown. But the deputy doesn’t know why Sheriff “Big” Bass has personally assigned him to the case, there are signs of a cover-up, and Mustang is about to get a good look at his department’s dark underbelly. Before it’s over, he’s going to learn that justice, the law, and doing what’s right are all different things, and he may not like – or survive -- the dangerous little place where they overlap.

Now, if you'd like to do me a large and just buy a copy on your ebook reader, it's now available directly for purchase for $2.99 at Smashwords.com, Amazon's Kindle Store, and B&N's Nook Store, and coming soon to other major ebook sellers.  But if you act fast, you can also get your copy for free.  Just use the Smashwords link above, order the book, and at checkout enter this coupon code: KL27M  That's it!  Your book download (in formats to read on Nook, Kindle, Kobo, and pretty much all ereaders, computers, and portable app-devices) is free!  The catch?  This coupon expires December 13th, 2011, so go download yours TODAY!

My one request in exchange for the freebie, however: If you read it, and enjoy it, your reviews, star-ratings, "likes," etc. on Smashwords for sure, and on B&N.com and Amazon if you get the chance, are much appreciated!

See you guys back here next week, and watch this space for future ebook special offers.

Minions #297 - Damaged Cargo

Click cartoon to enlarge cover-up!

---

Greetings, Overstocks and Factory Seconds!


To date, it's been pretty rare when we've done a cartoon that was at all topical or in any way political, but
I just built this nifty new Bridge for Cap'n Rehab's submarine, the "Naughtyless," and I desperately needed a joke to go with it.  And so many people, in politics, Hollywood, and elsewhere, have all at once stepped in it in one way or another, and are in need of a little image make-over.  Well, that's Cap'n Rehab's thing!  Cruising the crushing depths of ocean trenches, where only the most determined paparazzi will follow, the Cap'n is always ready with a well-aimed Valium torpedo, a crew of hard-working reputation-swabbers, and a treasure-chest full of questionable therapies to turn around the public functions of any person who is even marginally famous.  So he, there are times he's just going to steer for a topical port-of-call.  That's just how he rolls.  Deal with it.

- See you guys next week,
  Mental Minion Master, Steve

Greetings, Ghoul-friends!

It's an unusual Minions at Work that doesn't have No. 1 or Number 2 in it (unless it's an "Overlords at Work" instead).  It's even more unusual when it doesn't have any of the uniformed Minions in it.  In fact, this may be the first time it's happened.  But since the Penguin is an honorary Minion, I still consider this a "Minions at Work" cartoon, even though it focuses on an overlord (Cap'n Rehab).

This touches on the very essence of villainy.  What drives a person to shut themselves away from society in a secret-lair stocked with super-technological devices of doom, and begin plotting world domination?  Sometimes, it's just that unfaithful skank Skipper and your two-timing "friend" Dwaine.

The reorganization is going well, though there's still a long way to go.  This week I'll focus on clearing off the shooting area of the studio, so I can go back into production while I continue the sorting and clean-up.

I'm also working on new props for future cartoons.  I'm assembling medical props, gym props, and a nifty new "body" for Doctor Head-in-a-jar, all of which you'll likely be seeing in weeks to come.

Hey, and don't forget Mrs. Minion Master's new Georgiana Neverall, lady-plumber, mystery novel, just in stores (and on-line) from Berkley Prime Crime!  Buy it for two reasons: A: You'll thank me later, and B: you're indirectly supporting Minions at Work.

See you folks next week back here at the lair!

Greetings, Overlord Compartments!

First, a quick announcement: I've got a new anthology story out this week in the great new fantasy anthology Swordplay! Click the link to check it on Amazon, or look for it in our sidebar to the right. Once again, in an anthology of magic sword stories, I suspect mine is about as atypical as you could imagine. But not all heroes wear armor, and not all damsels need rescuing in exactly the same way. I'm pleased with it.




Moving on, once again, I'm waiting till the workday starts to announce this posting. We'll see how that goes.

Slipping in some more Overlords at Work this week, and a double-feature as well, just to keep you on your toes. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on Doctor Coldbood as a character now, and that's always a dangerous thing. I'm starting to appreciate his lecherous side, and it's fun. It makes him one conflicted lizard. Could be you'll be seeing him take a more active role in some of the regular cartoons down the road.

Been busy this week building a Moon-rocket. A Saturn V, to be specific. No, this isn't for Minions at Work, though it's plenty big enough. It's a party decoration (long story) and it will be about 8 feet tall when finished.

I've also been trying myself into (or out of) signing up for Twitter. I'm skeptical, but I'm told it might be a good way to draw traffic here to the site. What do you guys think? It's just hard for me to get behind an evil plan that involves "tweeting." But it could work...

See you next week.

- Your Overlord of Overlords, Steve

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.

- Your Diabolical Duke of Doppelgangers (and Minion Master), Steve

Also, when he returns, No. 1 needs letters with your "questions for Minions" to be answered in a future video. Surely there's something you want to know about being a Minion, life in the Lair, the forces of evil, or No. 1's early Oscar picks.

Incoming Transmission...

...crackle...crackle...
This is your Minion Master, Steve, transmitting to you from an undisclosed Lair somewhere in Southern California. I just spent about a year at the San Diego Comicon on Thursday. After some soul-searching, we decided we just weren't up to going back for additional days this year. Too hot, too far, and too crowded. The convention itself is intense, but I'm convinced that an Evil Overlord of some sort is in charge. This is like a giant roach motel for 120,000 people. You can get in (barely), but you sure as heck can't get out.

I will say one thing though: it's a good place to make some new evil friends. Here I am with another out-of-towner I've just met. We've agreed that it would be a good idea to ex-ter-mi-nate all the hu-mans, if only to shorten the lines to collect all the really cool shwag I missed out on. About the only seriously cool thing I picked up were some huge S.H.I.E.L.D. magnets from the Hasbro booth. My new friend had even less, but then again, that could be because his goodie-bag kept slipping off his toilet-plunger arm.

I'll post more pictures of Comicon on my regular blog, the Multiplex, when I get time.

We will be continuing back to Oregon Sunday (yesterday, as I'm transporting a time portal that could cause the collapse of the universe as you know it), via Reno, NV, where we'll spend a few days searching for further evil to participate in. I've never been to Reno before, so it will be an adventure.

So that's it for now. Your Minion Master signing off...

...crackle...crackle...

End Transmission...

San Diego Comicon begins this week, with a preview night on Wednesday, and then daily through Sunday. I'm staying off-site and juggling other business, so I'll probably only be attending a day or two. I'm guessing Thursday Sunday, or Thursday Friday, which might be a little less crowded. I don't do crowds well. (Unless, of course, I get to crush them beneath the feet of my mighty Robot-O-Doom, but it's in the shop right now.)

Greetings, Insignificant Scum!

You come seeking Minions, and yet, THERE ARE NO MINIONS! We, the Overlords of Evil have sent them on vacation! WITHOUT PAY! Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha-haha-ha-haha-ha-hahaha-ha-haha-hahaha!

OLD BUSINESS
Old business is left over from the previous management. The Overlords of Evil and the Legion of Dread do not endorse this old business, but they will gladly take responsibility for any damage or harm it causes. Worms.
Hey look at us! (Or our book covers anyway.)

I just put together a little mosaic of images of book covers and posted it on my regular blog. See it here. These are MOST of the books in which my wife Chris or I (or both of us) have appeared. It's pretty nifty to see these all at a glance. Check it out, and see what we do the rest of the week!

A reminder. We need input!

First of all, we need a number for our new Minion, seen manning the dart-board in this recent cartoon.

Also, when he returns, No. 1 needs letters with your "questions for Minions" to be answered in a future video. Surely there's something you want to know about being a Minion, life in the Lair, the forces of evil, or No. 1's early Oscar picks.

END OF OLD BUSINESS

Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha-haha-ha-haha-ha-hahaha-ha-haha-hahaha! Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha-haha-ha-haha-ha-hahaha-ha-haha-hahaha!

sluurp!

Ah! That's good!

We COMMAND you to return next week for a new cartoon! Obey, or suffer the pain of a thousand Star Wars Christmas Specials!

NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY

Join the Minions reminder email list or we will send a presidential candidate to kiss all your babies!* It's free, it's easy, and you'll never miss a Minions at Work cartoon (or if you do, it won't be our fault!)

*Actually, we're just going to send Minion Number Two and he's just going to bruise the little tyke's face with his gas-mask. This, however, is still better than being kissed by the candidate.)


Greetings, Binoculars!

Just because I felt like it this week, two cartoons instead of one. Are they twice as funny? Uh-- Did I mention there were two?

Actually, only you can judge how funny they are. Some I've though were hysterical created barely a ripple with you guys, and some I've wondered if I should post at all turned out to be the most popular ever. Who knows?

But occasionally I compensate for uncertainty with quantity. I'm not saying this is one of those times. But it does happen.

On other matters, Minion Number One isn't here this week because he's moping by the mailbox. Seems you folks haven't sent in as many emails with questions for him as he'd like to see. Surely there must be something you've wondered about Minion life, about your favorite overlord, or just about life in general that might benefit from that unique Minion perspective. Drop him a note care of my address right now! His favorites will be answered in future video segments.

See you next week,

-Steve

Greetings, Ill-letterates!

Well, I warned you there would be more video, and it's come sooner than I expected. But I've climbed a bunch of the learning curve, and while "Minions Tonight" literally took me weeks and weeks, I was pretty much able to this one (which was admittedly a lot simpler) in a single day, and any follow-on "letters" episodes should go even quicker, since I've done a lot of the ground-work.

So how's about helping by sending your questions, letters and requests to "Minions Mail" care of yours truly. We'll make fun of -- uh -- answer the best ones in future installments.

See you next time.

Your Minion-master,
Steve
