Minions #199/200 - Caught in the Act/Strange Change

Happy Saturnalia Everybody!
(Also including any other holidays hanging around to bask in its cool)
Of course Saturnalia is the primary holiday this time of year!  
Where else would the phrase "ring in the New Year" have come from?

Greetings of whatever pleases you, Heathens, Hanukkah Hailers, and Holy Rollers!

There, now that I've ignited a holy war (I told you we were evil!), on to other business.  Yes, I'm late this week.  It's the Holidays (several of them), so shoot me (and I will claw my way from the grave, more powerful than you can imagine, thirsting for revenge and the cool, refreshing taste of Diet Pepsi!).

But since I was late, I figured I'd get that whole, annoying "200" thing out of the way and just give the the dubious present of a double-feature this week!  Like I said, I haven't come up with anything worthy of our "second century," so I'm just going to cruise past and celebrate later (or possibly wait for #250) to try and pull off something cool.  Better that than interrupt the flow of the site or rush something half-assed out the door that isn't worth the trouble.


Hey, if you (or anyone you know) has any interest in writing, you might enjoy a new site we launched in our little blog-empire this week.  It's the official blog of Sydney T. Cat, the world's worst literary agent (because she's a CAT!).  Come on over and see how  Sydney's "help" shreds writer's work and their careers.  You'll laugh a little, and you might just learn something.  Please pass it on.  Find it at:
http://badagentsydney.blogspot.com/


                                    See you guys next week,

Greetings, Capitalistic Cast-offs!

Running a little late this week.  I'm busy shooting some more cartoons using the nifty green reactor-thing from last-week's cartoon, but I hate to run the same kind of scene two weeks in a row when I can help it.  So I dipped into my rapidly shrinking inventory of stand-by cartoons, and just as I was about to post, discovered I'd ALREADY used this particular cartoon back in October!  I hate it when that happens.

So, I had to go combing through my now-thousands of Minions stock-photos and outtakes to come up with some new cartoons.  So not only do I have something new (and topical) for you today, but I have a number of new inventory cartoons standing by as well.  Like they say, when life gives you lemons...  Well, actually, I don't care what they say.  I DON'T LIKE LEMONS!  I'm just evil that way.

See you guys next week.

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.
