Minions #180 - Employee Satisfaction

Stand by, following the usual double-dealing for a bitter betrayal by your Minion Master!

Your interminable wait is important to us. To serve you better, a supervisor may feed the representative assigned to serve you to the crab parasites just before they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care, just not about you."

Or visit our Amazon Lair Gift Shop for Minions-recommended merchandise featuring villainy from across pop-culture!

Nah, not really, it all goes to ME, in order to further the cause of EVIL, and the photography thereof.

File this one under "be careful what you wish for."

Should be back from California any time now, if we aren't already. In any case, don't expect us to wake up until NEXT week.

Greetings, Taste Testers!

So, I'm a little late this week. It's a holiday. Besides, my clock here shows I still have 38 minutes left of Monday!

It's not that I didn't have anything to post. There are still several cartoons in inventory. It's just some days it's hard to know what's funny. Things sit around in the inventory folder too long, and they just don't seem -- fresh -- any more. It's kind of like this.

Hey, for a four-month-old cartoon, that's pretty funny! Maybe these things don't get stale after all! And maybe that chunky milk is good drinking!

See you next week!

A belated message from your Minion Master

Greetings, Minimals!

You know, those big, round, numbers are absolutely what kill web comics. I've seen this happen before. The comic creator has in mind to do something really SPECIAL for their 100 (or 200th, or 500th) installment, and they bite off more than they can chew, and then its late, and then the pressure is on, and it's later, and it gets worse, and finally they lose all momentum and give up.

Well, that will never happen here!

Okay, maybe it will. But we WILL NOT be giving up. Minions at Work #100 IS a major undertaking, and I'm still working on it, but we WILL get it done and we WILL get back to your regular old entertainment. Trust me. It will be worth the wait (and will set up a totally new Minions scenario which will provide countless new comic panels as time goes on).

Anyway, we'll be back next week with #100. Or if not, with something. See you then.

-Steve

A New Years message from your Minion Master

Greetings, Leap-years!

Okay, it's been a big week here, what with the unannounced invasion by our Son and his family, so we're running late, and this may not be our "A" material. LIVE WITH IT! Back to normal next year.

Have a safe and happy New Year.

An experimental jolt from the Minion Master:

Greetings, Subjects of my On-Going Experiment,


First, here are the results of our latest poll over on the Weekly Reminder List web-site. Didn't get to vote? Join today! I'm posting a new fun poll in the next day or two...

POLL QUESTION: If you were an evil Overlord, which evil plan would you put into motion?

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Threaten to destroy world unless you are featured on next season of "The Surreal Life." - 0.00%
- Release flesh-eating zombies to promote a healthy vegan lifestyle. - 3.57%
- Crash Moon into Earth, use new real-estate to build housing developments and big-box stores. - 7.14%
- Plan? I got this smokin' lair. I got beer. Par-tay! - 14.29%
- Hold world's entire supply of Krispy-Kremes for ransom. Then when they pay, laugh maniacally and tell them you ate them yourself. - 14.29%
- Create computer virus to disable cell-phones in traffic and in theaters. (Wait, you said I was EVIL?) - 17.86%
- Speed up global warming, and eliminate Florida as a factor in the next election. - 17.86%

And the winner!

- Bring back dinosaurs, and save money on gas by riding T-Rex to work. - 25.00%

Thanks for participating.

One more bit of fun: If you haven't already, check the previous post for a link to a fun video. It's not mine, but it IS Minionmobile related.

Since then, I've found another video to share, and this one earns the guy who made it, Vernon Barry, our...

EVIL GENIUS OF THE WEEK AWARD

Vernon has put an actual turbine engine into a golf cart and made it work! Even better, he got all the parts off Ebay for a song. Vernon, once you have your plan for world domination worked out and your lair all set up, give us a call. Here's the video.


That's all for this week. See you next time...

A Chemically Altered Message from Minion Central:

Greetings, All You Kings of Disco, you Queens of Funk,


Please put your hands together and give a big Minions at Work welcome to our new Overlord, Doctor Funkeystein (and his hunchbacked assistant Willie)! Doctor Funkestein reminds you not to confuse him with funk-disco great George Clinton, aka "Dr. Funkenstein. Explains Doc, "Dr. Funkenstein is a musical genius. I am just a genius who is musical." Maybe his "musical" nature is why the doc is always trying to mix up a more powerful alternative to Beano.

Doc is your basic mad-scientist, and likes to keep things old-school. I expect we'll see more of Doc and Willie as time goes on.

Sincerely,
- It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Steve
