Greetings, Goof-offs!

Don't worry.  I'm out of Ancient Minion cartoons for a while.  Which means (oh, crap!) I've got to go come up with something new for next week.  Back to the old studio I guess...

Not feeling talkative, so I'll just post this baby and see what happens. 

If YOU'RE feeling talkative, though, your comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated (in an evil, scheming sort of way) here at the Lair.  Take a minute to drop us a note.

Join the Minions reminder email list or we will send a presidential candidate to kiss all your babies!* It's free, it's easy, and you'll never miss a Minions at Work cartoon (or if you do, it won't be our fault!)

*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, Poor Long Suffering Minions Fans!

This week, a special shout out to the crew at Hilltop, where the seating is always assigned. I know, that makes no sense to anybody, but they'll understand. Thanks for the lunches, guys!

Special congrats to Mrs. Minion Master, Chris, who just turned in the first of her upcoming (from Berkley Prime Crime) mystery novels to her editor. Yay, Chris! And speaking of Chris...

A Word -- actually, lots of them -- from Mrs. Minion Master:

New in stores, a great new fantasy anthology with a new story by Mrs. Minion Master, Christina F. York. It's called "Enchantment Place," edited by Denise Little. It's 17 original stories about a magical shopping destination in Chicago where the really unusual people shop for items you can scarcely imagine. And no, we don't mean Hot Topic!

Find it now at your local bookseller, or order from Amazon.


A reminder. We need input!

First of all, we need a number for our new Minion, seen manning the dart-board in this recent cartoon.

Also, No. 1 needs letters with your "questions for Minions" to be answered in a future video. Surely there's something you want to know about being a Minion, life in the Lair, the forces of evil, or No. 1's early Oscar picks.

Obey your Minion-master, fire up your email and get to it!

- See you next week, Steve

Minions 99.7 - Long Lunch

(Click on Cartoons for full-sized versions)

Greetings, Suspended Animations!

Okay, this still isn't #100. I blame it on the writer's strike. Wait? What's this you tell me? The writer's strike is over? Uh, okay... Look! Over there! A WOMBAT!

Okay, not buying that either. Well, though this has been a bad week, I did get another big chunk of the audio recorded. I Have one more segment to do, then I can edit the final audio track and start the final video edit.

Uh. Have I said too much already? Never was that good with secrets. Like all evil overlords, your Minion Master is prone to blurt out his plans well before they're completed. Just living down the the stereotype.

As I mentioned earlier, we spent the word in Pasco, Washington at the Radcon science fiction and gaming convention. This is, I think, our third year attending, and I had a lot of fun. As usual, we got to hang out with lots of friends and to meet cool new folks, and our "Evil is Just my Day Job" buttons proved quite popular. I was on an "Evil Overlord" panel that was lots of fun.

Anyway, I was inspired, after we returned, to throw together this little tribute bonus cartoon in honor of the occasion (and in case you have trouble getting it, just know that the Pasco tri-cities area are right next to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, of Manhattan Project and cold-war fame).


Anyway, see you next week.

This message actually happened to my best friend's cousin:

Greetings, Microwave Poodles,

I really don't think there's much to say about this week's panel except that there are two sides to every story. Sometimes more.

I'm still working to build up an inventory of Minions goodies for you here, to insure that you get new content every week come hell or high water. In fact, I've just put together the biggest Minions set ever. Uh, now I just need some jokes to go with it. But they're coming, honest!

I really feel much better when I've got a month or two of panels saved up here. It gives me flexibility when life throws things my way (like a recent family illness, fortunately with a happen ending, that just kept me distracted for a couple weeks, the pesky virus that had the Minions Mainframe coughing up blood for most of a week). Having an inventory of cartoons also lets me put together bigger and more elaborate sets and props without the worry of having to meet a weekly schedule. Good for me. Good for you.

Well, that's all for now. See you back here at the lair next Monday.

- Big Steve, Minion Master
