I'm still very busy with my "HardBodies" (www.HardBaseOne.com) mega-science-fiction project this week, and I'm about to head out to Reno, NV for a little R&R, so once again I'll be short.

There, is that short enough for you?

I should be back next week in time for your regular Minion distraction of the week.  See you then!

Greetings, Linesmen!

Hey, look! We're up to #150 already! I suppose I should have done something extra special and cool, but it just didn't fit into the schedule. Hey, it's not that long till #200!

One detail about today's toon I'm going to mention. I love the way the Gorilla is looking up at the Sentinel robot. It's like he's saying, "hey, buddy, you're blocking my cell reception!"

I don't plan to make "Minions at Work" totally about the crappy economy, but it seems to be what's on everyone's mind right now.

At least this is a fresh shoot this week, and not recycled outtakes, though it is a little late. We were sick last week, over the weekend we had house guests, there are looming deadlines, and (you people in the mid-west are gonna laugh, if you can pry your frozen lips open to do so) it snowed here today.

Snow's a big deal here on the Oregon coast. It happens so infrequently, we're just not set up for it. Also, pretty much any way out of here to civilization requires crossing a mountain pass (not a big one, but still, lots more snow up there usually). Fortunately, though it snowed a bunch, it stayed warm and most of it is gone now.

The bad part of it is that, if we ever get some snow that sticks long enough, I'll probably drag out the Minions for an improvised outdoor shoot. It just wasn't happening today though.

QUIET ON THE SET! ANOTHER BULL-HORN BLAST FROM YOUR MINION MASTER:

Greetings, Extras,

Well, we've survived the Great Storm of 2007 here on the Oregon coast. (At least I hope so. Not that I doubt we survived. Just that I hope this was actually the Great Storm of 2007. If it isn't really here yet, I don't want to know about it. Well, yeah, I do, so I can move safely inland first!) See previous posts and links to my regular blog for details and pictures.

Actually, at this point, there's nothing I'd like more than to kick back and slack off for a while, but I used up the last cartoon in inventory last week. So I had to come up with something quick, and I thought, why not get the holiday season started a little early this year? Actually, I'm pretty happy this one (and it gets a big thumbs up from Chris). Now, on to thinking something up for next week.

See you then.

-Steve
