Greetings, Oppressed Avians!

Yes, we're late this week.  Back from vacation, and not used to running on a schedule yet.

Hey, we went to a taping of "The Late Late Show" with Craig Ferguson (if you aren't a fan yet, you're missing out here) which was great fun.  But one thing stood out in Minion-terms.  In his monologue, Craig explained how he wanted to "live in a volcano" with an army of "robot skeletons!"  How cool is that?  It's like he knew I was there!  But he didn't!

Anyway, I could have told him we have a volcano for sale.

The Ancient Minion is back this week, and so is the Penguin.  It's been a while since I featured our fine-feathered Minion, so it's good to have him back in action.

Anyway I'll keep this short, so it isn't posted any later than it already is.  Hopefully back on schedule next week.

*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, Multiple Listings!

Our motto at Minions Studios is "keep it real." Okay, mostly what we keep is surreal, but I don't often resort to photo-editing on our cartoons. It isn't because I can't, but I try to keep things within the context of the world I can create for you on a bench-top most of the time.

But there are occasions, especially when it comes to presenting the massive Lairs of our evil overlords and their infernal devices, that nothing I can build here is going to do. This is one of those times.

Strangely, as much as I fight doing this, I'm usually pretty pleased with the results (like this one here) when I do. I'm pretty pleased with this week's too. I don't know how funny it is, but it's pretty!

By the way, did you look closely at the sign in the cartoon? If not, go check it out. I'll wait...

Okay, you're back. According to the description there, the volcano lair is one of the biggest buildings in the world, with about twice the square footage of that shrimpy-old-Pentagon. There is, however, a shopping mall in China with about the same square footage of retail space (most of it standing empty, according to sources on the net).

In any case, it's curious that somebody from the Guinness Book of World Records hasn't come to call. Hmmm, perhaps Coldblood Bilker is telling a little fib about the square footage? Could be. They're evil baby!

See you next week!

Minions #38 - Interstate Irony

Today's Panel: Okay, once more to the interstate. I know, I know, but this is probably my favorite of the series...

Given the weather here on the Oregon coast, and heavy book deadlines, this is probably the last outdoors Minions shoot you'll see until spring. Too bad, because I've got one all lined up that requires a nice day on the beach.
