Greetings, Livid Bruises!

Here we are again. Some weeks I just get tired of the Minions just sitting and standing around. Every once in a while it's good to put some action into things. I don't know how funny this is, but it does have action!

Speaking of action, here's a little plug for another action-figure-photo-comic that I enjoy. Alien Loves Predator has recently returned from a hiatus. It's the story of what happens when two single, male, aliens share an apartment in New York. Be warned, this strip often isn't office or family-friendly, and it has something to offend everyone. But it makes me laugh on a regular basis, and I'm glad to have it back. If you're up for it, check it out here.

By the way, I noticed a couple of new things on my Blogger control panel. Turns out, Minions at Work has followers! Actually, this is a new feature that makes it easier to follow your favorite blogs (like this one, natch), and as a bonus, you can get your little icon to appear on blogs that have the proper widget installed. So I've installed one here. Look for it in our sidebar, and just click the link there if you'd like to add yourself as a follower.

For those of you in the U.S., have a happy Thanksgiving. For the rest of the world: suck it up, dudes. Just another week. Either way, see you next time...


- Your Minion Man of Action, Steve.


And don't forget to run out and spend your last few dollars on that
new anthology with a great new story by Mrs. Minion Master! It's called "Witch High," and features stories by 14 top authors about the students of Salem Township Public High-school #4." Sure, Halloween is over, but don't let the fun end there!

*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, Back-seat Drivers!

We've finally progressed far enough with recovering from the computer crash to edit and post a new cartoon. More soon as I try to make up for the two Mondays we missed.

Between recovering data from the crashed hard-drive, transfering it to the new machine, and migrating from XP to Vista (necessitating some software upgrades, including a new version of Paint Shop Pro, the photo editor we use, it's taken a lot longer than I thought.

As of this moment, the new computer is still sitting on the living room floor hooked up to our big TV, but I hope to pull out the old computer and move it into the office tonight or tomorrow morning. Then we can get a little more back to business as usual.

Greetings, Short-orders!

Hey, folks! Are you asleep out there? 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

Greetings, Patient Ones!

Okay, not #100 again. But I was professionally busy over the weekend. I wrote AND sold a new short story called "Boldly Reimagined" to an upcoming hero-themed anthology edited by Denise Little. (See the sidebar for info on "Frontlines" another anthology coming up in May, also edited by Denise, in which Chris and I both have stories, or just follow this link to Amazon.com).

There was also an interesting nibble that could lead to the most exciting Minions-related event yet, but it's WAY premature to say more than that. It could come to nothing. I'll keep you posted.

On the #100 front, the good news is that the sound (unless I've forgotten something) is FINALLY all recorded, and I'm working on the final editing of it. Then I can finish the picture editing. If so, maybe I can finish it this week. If not -- uh -- 99.91 anyone?

This just turned out to be a much bigger project than I expected. I hope it's worth the effort. A lot of people see these YouTube videos, so maybe it will drag some more visitors in here.

As always, drop us a note or comment with your reactions to our cartoons or anything else of interest. Suggestions for our sidebar "evil overlords" and "good names for rock bands" lists are always welcomed.

We also love links from other sites (and will return the favor in our "thanks for the link" section) and any other grass-roots promotion you folks do. Share Minions at Work with your family, friends, and your other message boards and mailing lists. We appreciate it so much that we'll hold off dispatching our atomic robot dragons to burn down your garage. For this week, anyway. Thanks.

See you next week.

-Steve
