Minions #203 - Robot Mythbehavior


Do not click for larger image unless you are a what-you-call, "expert!"
Stand by, following the usual ill-conceived program for a recursive subroutine from your Minion Master!

Your interminable wait is important to us. To serve you better, a supervisor may feed the representative assigned to serve you to the wood-chipper just before they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care, just not about you."

SUPPORT THE FORCES OF EVIL, WITHOUT WHOM YOU'D HAVE TO LIVE IN SOME BORING UTOPIA OR SOMETHING! HELP FINANCE "MINIONS AT WORK" BY BUYING STUFF YOU WERE GOING TO BUY ANYWAY! IT'S LIKE STEALING, ONLY LEGAL!
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!

Or visit our Amazon Lair Gift Shop for Minions-recommended merchandise featuring villainy from across pop-culture!

Minions at work is inadequately supported during this financial crisis by your purchases from our web stores and our advertisers.

Nah, not really, it all goes to ME, in order to further the cause of EVIL, and the photography thereof.

And yes, I'm finally on Twitter. Follow me. I'm JSteveYork there (clicking on the previous link will take you straight to my profile page.) Eventually I'm getting No. 1 his own account for Minions-related-business, but one thing at a time.

Still: We're everywhere! We're everywhere!



Greetings, Rouge Automatons!

Okay, it's no secret that we here at Minions Studios are big fans of the show Mythbusters!  It's a virtual encyclopedia of destruction and mayhem, all done in the most convoluted, difficult, and scientific manner possible, and that's pretty much how we roll!  Why develop your evil plans based on simplicity and reliability when can attempt to pull off something with real style? 

Of course, our evil plans never seem to work, and when there's an explosion, we're usually trapped in the middle of it.  But that's a small price to pay to achieve the high level of madness we look for in our science.

Just as a warning, Mrs. Minion Master and I will be heading down to Las Vegas through the last week of the month (with weekend side-trip to Los Angeles).  These plans are coming at the last minutes, so I'm scrambling to get Minions cartoons lined up.  Be assured that SOMETHING will post here while we're gone.  I just make no promises as to what, or how good it will be.  (Maybe it will be the funniest cartoons ever, but I wouldn't make book on it.)

Anyway, see you guys next week.

Greetings, Lower Trays!

First, a quick reminder: I've got a new anthology story out in the great new fantasy anthology Swordplay! Click the link to check it on Amazon, or look for it in our sidebar to the right. Once again, in an anthology of magic sword stories, I suspect mine is about as atypical as you could imagine. But not all heroes wear armor, and not all damsels need rescuing in exactly the same way. I'm pleased with it.



Just to let you know, Minions at Work will be on autopilot next week. Why? Because, I'll be spending the weekend in VEGAS BABY! Yes, your Minion Master is going to spend a little quality time in his natural environment: SIN CITY, USA!

Maybe I'll get an IN N' OUT BURGER and see UP! while I'm there. Living the live of evil, baby! It's just how we roll!

Anyway, won't see you next week, but the Minions will be here without me.

- Your Overlord of the Strip (wait, that sounds bad, doesn't it?), Steve

Minions #166 - Numbers Game


WARNING! CLICKING ON IMAGES MAY MAKE THEM EXPLODE!

Stand by, following the usual mercantile malfunctions for a quick overhaul from your Minion Master!

Your interminable wait is important to us. To serve you better, a supervisor may drop the representative assigned to serve you into a water-filled rat-pit just before they can answer your call. It's just one more way of saying, "we care. Oh, hell yeah, we care."

Greetings, Accident Victims!

Don't you hate it when you show up for work and get immediately crushed by a rampaging giant robot?

That's never happened to you?

SEE! YOUR JOB COULD BE WORSE! We've brightened your day already! Yay, us!

Speaking of "lets all just be friends, remember that I just set up a new "Minions at Work" group on Facebook! If you're on Facebook, be sure to join up and invite all your friends too! I'll be posting notices of new cartoons there, and there's a discussion area where you can talk among yourselves for a change. If we get enough suckers -- uh -- people there, I might even start some contests and stuff.

Just search for "Minions at Work," given that the group is called (amazingly enough) "Minions at Work."
