Minions #305 - Don't Diss the Messenger

Click Cartoon for Bigger Civility



Greetings, Lunch breaks and Unpaid Holidays!


Yeah, I'm a little late this week.  I was busy finishing up "A Breath Away from Dying," my second "Panorama Beach" mystery.  It's off being copy edited, and hopefully will be available in ebook in a few weeks, depending on how the production pipeline goes.  So forgive the heck out of me for doing something that will actually make me some money!

Anyway, I'm enjoying the heck out of doing this series.  Sheriff "Big" Bass is the best evil overlord I've come up with yet, and his reluctant minion, Deputy Tommy "Mustang" Sawtell, is even more fun.  These books are set in 1967 in Panorama Beach, a fictional Florida panhandle resort packed with sugar-white beaches, amusement parks, outrageous miniature golf courses, reptile shows, aquatic parks, and of course, corruption of all kinds, not to mention a murder here or there.  Come on down to beautiful Panorama Beach, where vacation is murder!


See you guys back here next week!

Greetings, Bubble Blowers!


Click for LONGER BREAK!
Okay, I freely admit that sometimes I do this thing in a hurry, when I'm not in the most alert state of mind.  Such was the case last night when I posted the current cartoon.  Actually, what I posted was not the cartoon at the top of the post, but the one at the left.  There's a critical, one-word difference between the two versions.

It was only when I looked at it again today that I noticed that the caption I'd posted was not the caption I'd intended.

Oh, well, the original version actually works as a joke, though it's rather more Zen than the low-brow humor I was going for, so I include it for your consideration.  Call it a two-fer.

Well, we made lots of progress this week on the Minions new and improved web site!

Okay, that's a lie, but we're EVIL, damn it!  Actually, we were distracted by a bunch of other things we're working on.  But realize, not only do I have two new web sites I'm setting up.  Not only do I have -- what? --about five existing ones that I pretend to keep up.  Not only am I on Facebook, and am I myself, plus two cats and a robot on Twitter (true!), but I'm actually expected to try and write something once in a while so they don't revoke my writer card.  (Writer Card!  Don't leave home without it!)  But hopefully we will be relocated soon.  I'll keep you posted.

See ya next week!

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.

Minions #199/200 - Caught in the Act/Strange Change

Happy Saturnalia Everybody!

Of course Saturnalia is the primary holiday this time of year!

Greetings of whatever pleases you, Heathens, Hanukkah Hailers, and Holy Rollers!

There, now that I've ignited a holy war (I told you we were evil!), on to other business.  Yes, I'm late this week.  It's the Holidays (several of them), so shoot me (and I will claw my way from the grave, more powerful than you can imagine, thirsting for revenge and the cool, refreshing taste of Diet Pepsi!).

But since I was late, I figured I'd get that whole, annoying "200" thing out of the way and just give the the dubious present of a double-feature this week!  Like I said, I haven't come up with anything worthy of our "second century," so I'm just going to cruise past and celebrate later (or possibly wait for #250) to try and pull off something cool.  Better that than interrupt the flow of the site or rush something half-assed out the door that isn't worth the trouble.


Hey, if you (or anyone you know) has any interest in writing, you might enjoy a new site we launched in our little blog-empire this week.  It's the official blog of Sydney T. Cat, the world's worst literary agent (because she's a CAT!).  Come on over and see how  Sydney's "help" shreds writer's work and their careers.  You'll laugh a little, and you might just learn something.  Please pass it on.  Find it at:
http://badagentsydney.blogspot.com/


                                    See you guys next week,

Greetings, Hangers Out-to-dry!

We're headed down to California and Comicon, and so Minions at Work will be on auto-pilot for the next couple weeks. Cartoons are still being posted, but I may not be around to post reminders.

By the way, I'm thinking about working up a "Minions at Work" card game, just as a lark. It would be a fast, fun, party game, with lots of yelling, role-playing, and foolishness, and naturally it would features all your regular characters here at Minions at Work.

Would anyone be interested in seeing this? Based on what I'm seeing so far, I should be able to offer these through an on-line these through an on-line print-on-demand company I've found (like Cafe Press, except for games instead of tee-shirts) for somewhere in the $10-12 range. A bit steep for a card-game maybe, but I won't offer it up unless I think you'll get $12 worth of fun out of it.

I'm going down to Gamecon in LA later this year. Maybe we can have something ready for testing by then.

Greetings, Rear Guards!

Now that we're crushed California's economy with our evil plan (we forget what it was, but it certainly is working!) we're getting ready for our trip south on "work-cation" next week.

That means Minions at Work will be going on auto-pilot while we're on the road. New cartoons will appear as usual, but our reminders (from the mailing-list, Facebook, and Twitter) may be late or missing depending on time, internet access, and if we're paying any darned attention.

Running late again this week, so I'll cut the message short and get this out. The 'Bots will see you here next Monday!

- Minion Master, Steve
