Greetings, Hoard of Ignored!


Yes, I totally blew-off posting Minions last week.  So shoot me.  I've haven't done that too often in the years I've been doing this comic, so I feel like I had a freebie coming.  Besides, to make up for it, I posted an inventory-clearing TRIPLE FEATURE this week, based on the always-popular theme of "heads."

Actually, it was just the cartoon I intended to post last week, and a couple of dusty toons that have been at the bottom of the inventory forever.  Don't tell.  Heck, for all I know, these are the three funniest Minions at Work cartoons ever!  (But probably not.)

Anyway, it's been a week of it here.  Lots of behind-the-scenes stuff happening here at the Lair, some of it good, some of it Not Good.  Nothing I'm going to go into here.  Just distractions.  Also, shaking fist at one-eyed-yellow-Tylenol-Minions-Come-Lately!  Take that, you and your bazillions of dollars!

I'm also doing a lot of soul-searching about doing a major Site remodel, dumping our current Blogger Platform, and going to Wordpress with a nifty-looking web-comic-designed theme called CartoonPress.  Take a look here to see what I'm talking about.  It would look much more professional and be much easier to navigate (especially when looking through the archives).

On the down side, I've have to migrate 200+ old cartoons and a lot of other content over, do a lot of set-up and design work, and it would add monthly hosting fees (plus the suggested donation for the theme, which I'd feel-honor bound to pay).  I'd also have the issue about what to do with the old site.  Leave it up on blogger? Try and buy a new domain for the new site?  And since a lot of our traffic comes in from TVTropes.org where they have tons of direct links to cartoons.  All of these would be broken if I put the new site at www.MinionsAtWork.com.

So I'll probably do it, but how and when remain to be seen.  If you think it's a good idea, let me know.  You can also help keep the lights (and pay our hosting fees) by making a small contribution using the button below, shopping on Amazon using our links, or buying swag from one of our stores (and thanks to those of you already doing that).  One thing I'd REALLY like to tone down would be to eliminate the weekly pan-handling here and replace them with some discrete buttons, banners, and menu options.  So the move would all-around be good for you guys.

Let me know what you think.

Hope you're having a good, flu-free, bomb-free, blizzard-free holiday so far.  Running a little late this week, so I'll keep it short.  See you next time!

Greetings, Curb-side cast-offs!

Ha! I'm back on time again! Don't get used to it!

Busy week here at at Lair, as Mrs. Minion Master Chris and I have gotten the chance to pitch some novels based on one of our favorite television shows, one that should be familiar to Minions-fans (fingers crossed, but no details until, and if, we get a go-ahead). Chris is buried trying to finish the second in her series of plumbing-themed mystery novels (coming soon from Berkley Prime Crime).

And we just got invited to speak at the Space-Coast Writer's Conference, to be held late-January in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Yes, I love our secret hide-away on the Oregon coast, but can I be persuaded into going to sunny Florida in the middle of winter? Why yes, I can!

Lots of other things in the work, but nothing I can talk about yet. Seems like now that the elections are over, the publishing world is suddenly moving again. Huzzah!

- your Secret Master of Fundom, Steve.


And don't forget to run out and spend your last few dollars on that
new anthology with a great new story by Mrs. Minion Master! It's called "Witch High," and features stories by 14 top authors about the students of Salem Township Public High-school #4." Sure, Halloween is over, but don't let the fun end there!

BUY "WITCH HIGH" ON AMAZON NOW!

Greetings, NRA Liberals!

We're mostly back from our computer crash, though I'm terminally behind on everything, thus the lateness. I still hope to have a make-up cartoon for you soon.


Moving on... Yeah, I know I've been pushing the new anthology "Enchantment Place," with a story by Mrs. Minion Master, Chris, pretty hard. I let up next week, but only because there's a new anthology with another story by Mrs. Minion Master out! It's called "Witch High," and features stories by 14 top authors about the students of Salem Township Public High-school #4." Just in time for Halloween! Buy a bunch of copies and corrupt all the little witches and warlocks that show up at your door!

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
