NEW! SUPPORT "MINIONS AT WORK" BY BUYING STUFF YOU WERE GOING TO BUY ANYWAY!
We're now Amazon.com affiliates, which means that if you click on the Amazon link in our sidebar and make purchases from Amazon, a tiny little sliver of what you spend goes to support these fine (maybe even near-mint!) cartoons!

Later, we'll be adding a selection of Minion-recommended merchandise, but until then, use your imagination. Books, videos, electronics, games, maybe even ACTION FIGURES!

Minions at work is inadequately supported during this financial crisis by your purchases from our web stores and our advertisers. Feed the economy and 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 souvenir of your visit to the Lair:
THE MINION'S LAIR OF MERCHANDISE
"Satisfaction guaranteed or we'll make make you buy something else!"

and

NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY
(For very small values of naughty.)

Join the Minions Reminder Email List. 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!) Or become one of our followers. See the follower box in our Mighty Sidebar!

Greetings, Hold-overs!

Let's face it. If you've ever called a "customer support" line, you know they're all run by the Forces of Evil.

If nothing else, you know that in this day of iPods, a technology company shouldn't have music-on-hold that sounds like it's being played from a hand-wound Victrola through two tin-cans and some string.

They've got some great music in India. While you've got half the population at slave-wages to read scripts about how the problem with your crap product is actually the fault of somebody else's crap product, maybe you could spend an extra dollar-a-day and pay somebody to pick up a sitar or something...

Meanwhile, keep your customer complaints -- uh -- comments coming. We love to hear from you!

- Your Outsource Minion Master, Steve

*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.)

Please hold for a message from the next available Minion Master...

Greetings, Minimal Ones,

Here we are closing in on the end of another year of unrepentant evil, and I realize that we're rapidly coming up on Minions at Work number 100! I'd love to say I have something special planned, but to be honest, I haven't got a clue yet. Got any ideas for what Minions #100 should be about? Drop us a note or comment. I might post some of the better ones. Heck, I might even use some of your ideas! Get to it!

We're still behind on everything here after the storm. I still have wreck of a shed in the front yard that needs cleaning up, and stuff formerly stored in said shed stacked all over my house. There's the usual unrelenting string of Christmas shopping, parties, events, and visitors to take care up. I do not feel in the Christmas spirit. Perhaps I should destroy Australia. Or maybe I'll just eat some more gingerbread and brood. Probably the brooding...

Greetings, music-on-hold,


Our Minion Mainframe is suffering from virus problems this week (I blame the forces of Good) so I'm going to keep this short. Never let it be said that we don't work through adversity, so long as there's a triple-time adversity-bonus.

If our battle against good (and adware) prevails, we'll see you next week.
