Minions #277 - Name Dropper

Click on Cartoon for Bottomless Bigness (Sounds dirty!)

---

Greetings, Hail Stones and Gall Stones!


A big week here at the lair as Mrs. Minion Master turned in her latest mystery, "Murder Wears a Tee-Shirt" to her publisher, Berkley Prime Crime.  This is the first of a new series set in a haunted beach gift shop (featuring a foul-mouthed parrot that sometimes channels the ghost of the owner's dead grandfather).  Just in case you thought I was the only one in the house who came up with strange stuff.

This next series will be coming out under the name "Christy Fifield," even though her previous lady-plumber mysteries came out under the name "Christy Evans."  What gives?  Well, A, we like to be mysterious here around the lair, and B, Christy Fifield is actually closer to being a real name for her than Christy Evans, and C, we're EVIL here, and sometimes we just do things because we can!

Actually, it's publishing stuff.  Complicated to explain.  Difficult to understand.  And ultimately boring.  Just believe me when I tell you, it's for the better...  Anyway, look for announcements on the upcoming new series as it appears in print and ebook.  We're excited and looking forward to it.

Okay, now I'm going to post a link to something I wrote.  Why?  Because it's my damned web-comic, and I'm EVIL, and I'm doing it because I can!  Just try to stop me!  MuhHAha!

Okay, and now I'm going to post a link to a pet watering dish!  Why?  Because it's evil for reasons you will never understand.

Also, it's damned random, and I hate being too predictable! (Except on Mondays, when I ALWAYS post these silly cartoons.  We, most Mondays, anyway.

Except when I don't.  Or I forget.  Or there's a technical screw-up.

Or when I'm on vacation.

Or...

CAT-DISH!

HA!

Lulled you into a false sense of security, then pulled the old Cat-dish blitz!  And you totally fell for it!

Until next week, be sure to follow Minion No. 1 on Twitter!

See you then!

CAT-DISH!

Fake-out!

See you next time.

                                              - Minion Master CAT-DISH (fake!) Steve!

Greetings, Downfallen and Putrid Projectiles!


Given the holidays, an unexpected video interview last night, and my general lack of inventory or good ideas, I decided to cut myself some slack and announce the post on Tuesday (it's actually being posted later Monday).  LIVE WITH IT!

Hey, for those of you into mystery or Twitter or mystery on Twitter, you might want to hear about something Mrs. Minion Master (in her secret identity as mystery writer Christy Evans) is up to.  She's created a Twitter feed for her mystery-solving plumber character, Georiana Neverall,  Georgiana will be taking a "Workation" road trip to Reno later this month with her best friend and her two dogs.  Forecasts are there will be a mystery to be solved along the way (and probably some drawings for free prizes to her followers as well).  You can follow the mystery when you follow her Twitter account, SinkTrap.  If you want to follow author Christy Evans as well, follow ChristyMystery.  It should be a lot of fun.  Pass this along to your family and friends who read mystery.

Oh, in case you noticed and didn't say so, there was an error in the numbering of last-week's post.  We had two #221s for a week there.  It's been fixed now.

See you guys next week!

Greetings, Random Numbers!

You'll probably hate today's comic, because I love it.  It makes me giggle again and again.  I just love a cartoon that's got six-kinds-of-wrong in it.  Here's an earlier example of this kind of humor.  I also just love it when I can pull off a bit of Road-runner physics in a single-panel, non-moving cartoon.

So, you're going to hate it.  That's just the way it works.

Maybe you'll like next week's better.  I'll try to come up with something I really hate.

Oh, and by the by, we've gotten some reader donations recently.  Unfortunately, all our various blogs share the same Paypal account and I haven't figured out how to flag exactly where the donations are coming from.  So I don't know if people are donating because of "Minions at Work," or because they found a post useful over at www.YorkWriters.com, or if they want to keep the World's Worst Literary Agent, Sydney T. Cat (www.BadAgent.Me), in tuna.  But if it's you guys out there, thank-you from the bottom of our bottomless pit!

And finally, I'm working on some improvements in the site.  Under our banner, you'll now find a little menu bar with a "Home" button and a link to a page with bios of the various Minions, just to help you keep them straight.  (There's a link for "Overlords," but I haven't written those bios yet.  Maybe next week.)

Anyway, thanks, and see you guys around the lair.
