Minions #297 - Damaged Cargo

Greetings, Overstocks and Factory Seconds!


To date, it's been pretty rare when we've done a cartoon that was at all topical or in any way political, but
I just built this nifty new Bridge for Cap'n Rehab's submarine, the "Naughtyless," and I desperately needed a joke to go with it.  And so many people, in politics, Hollywood, and elsewhere, have all at once stepped in it in one way or another, and are in need of a little image make-over.  Well, that's Cap'n Rehab's thing!  Cruising the crushing depths of ocean trenches, where only the most determined paparazzi will follow, the Cap'n is always ready with a well-aimed Valium torpedo, a crew of hard-working reputation-swabbers, and a treasure-chest full of questionable therapies to turn around the public functions of any person who is even marginally famous.  So he, there are times he's just going to steer for a topical port-of-call.  That's just how he rolls.  Deal with it.

- See you guys next week,

Minons #280 - Sprung a Leak

Greetings, Molten Larva!


Yes, we're late again this week, but the above cartoon pretty much sums up how things feel here at the lair at the moment.  No, it wasn't for lack of a cartoon, because I'm set for a couple more weeks in that department, it's just that life has gotten so insane I just didn't get around to posting the cartoon I already had ready.  Summers are already crazy, we're scheduled to go on vacation in a week, and life just keeps throwing problems at us with no obvious solution.  And now I log on to post the cartoon, and discover that Blogger has changed EVERYTHING and I've got to figure out this process all over again.

THIS IS NOT WHY WE BECAME SUPER-VILLAINS!  IT'S ALL SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD UNTIL THE LAIR BLOWS UP!  NO TORTUROUS UNCERTAINY!  UNCERTAINTY IS FOR GOOD-GUYS!

There.  Got that off my chest.  If all goes well (and at this point, I'm not counting on it) I'll be posting next week from lovely Las Vegas.  If not -- oh, there will be hell to pay!

Oh, and it's time for your weekly ebook plug.  Mrs. Minion Master, Christina F. York (when she's not using one of her many aliases), has a new fantasy short-story ebook out, and it's a whole 99 cents.

The link to get it on Amazon Kindle is below.  You can also buy it on Smashwords in all major ebook formats, and it's coming soon to Nook, Sony, Kobo, Apple and all your other major ebook outlets.

Here's the blurb:
Some people think all cheerleaders are witches, which isn't really true. Except at Salem Township Public High School #4 - known to the student body as Witch High.


Regionals are coming, and Cassie wants to win. But not enough to cheat. Magic is strictly forbidden in competition, and by the coach. Still, a little magic seems to be creeping into their routines, and Cassie is worried. She prides herself on using her powers for good, and cheating isn't right.





If she can't find the hidden source of the magic before their next competition, they could be disqualified. 


Or worse, in Cassie's mind, they could not be disqualified. 


Then even if they win, they lose! 


I won't be back here next week, but hopefully you will!

Your visit is important to us. Please hand your wallet to the nearest Minion and stare mindlessly at the screen for a message from your Minon Master, following the usual commercial interruptions.

Minions at work is inadequately supported by your purchases from our web stores and our advertisers. Help us bleed green just a little more slowly by purchasing tee-shirts, buttons, calendars, hats, undies (we kid not!), and other fine Minions at Work items at one of the following stores.

While waiting for your impending doom, pick up a Minions at Work tee-shirt or other great gift:
THE MINION'S LAIR OF MERCHANDISE
"Where the beatings will continue until all customers are satisfied!"

and

NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY
(Oh, come on. You know you want to be naughty!)

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, Zeeba Neighbas!

Okay, sometimes we're silly, and sometimes we're really silly. I couldn't resist a nod to my current favorite newspaper comic strip, "Pearls Before Swine." It's the most evil and subversive thing in the funnies today. We approve.

- See you next week.

Notes from the Minion Master:

Remember, if your shirt is not red, you will live forever. Okay, maybe not forever, but at least you won't get all the salt sucked out of your body by a rubber monster before the first commercial.

By now, you must be asking yourself, "oh, wise Minion Master, where can I possibly find a shirt that is not red?" Funny you should ask...


Introducing (in case you didn't already read our mid-week post announcing it) the brand new, long-in-the-works-but-not-released-until-now Minions at Work Lair of Merchandise! Because nobody demanded it, we've set up a Cafe Press shop with a whole range of Minions goodies, from hats and tee-shirts, to office accessories, to a Minions teddy-bear. Pretty much nothing is beneath us if it will make us a buck or two. (And that's about all it will make us, but every little bit help offset the ongoing expense of bringing you Minions at Work every week. Of course, you could also just buy a pile of our books. I wouldn't complain.) Maybe my favorite item: A "Walking the dinosaur" dog tee-shirt, based on Minions #17.

The designs are still in flux, so we appreciate your ideas and comments.

To start shopping, just click on the logo below...

All our shirts are guaranteed not to be red. We make no promises though, if you wear one of our Minions shirts and start calling yourself "Number 13." That's your call.

And what if you're the kind of lazy, cheap, no-good mooch who just reads Minions at Work every week and does nothing at all to support it, not even inflicting it upon their friends? Well, actually we're kinda good with that. It is, after all, evil, and that's where we're coming from...
