Greetings, hold-overs!

This week has been busy with a writing workshop in town that I'm helping out with, the release of Mrs. Minion Master's new mystery "Sink Trap," and family-obligations, so I haven't shot anything new.  I'm digging pretty near the bottom of the inventory barrel here, so you'll have to take what you get.  Hopefully it's funny, but how the frick would I know?  I hope to be back in the Minion Studios last week shooting all new material.

Minions #124 - Out of Their Jurisdiction

Stand by, following the usually commercial jibber-jabber for a supposedly important and interesting message from your Minion Master.

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, Poor Receptions!

You may be asking yourself, if you pay close attention to such things, "what the heck is General Zed doing running Doctor Coldblood's volcano lair?"

Well, the answer is simple. Is isn't Doctor Coldblood's volcano lair. It's General Zed's volcano lair. General Zed completely came up with it first. Ask anybody and they'll tell you. As long as it's General Zed, anyway.

Like it really matters, I suppose. Lairs are built from mail-order kits, like big Lego sets. Send off a few billion dollars by PayPal, wait a few weeks for delivery, and then snap together the modular walls, tunnels, and death traps into a configuration of your liking. Even if it just happens to look exactly like the Super Villain down the block...

A Word -- actually, lots of them -- from Mrs. Minion Master:

New in stores, a great new fantasy anthology with a new story by Mrs. Minion Master, Christina F. York. It's called "Enchantment Place," edited by Denise Little. It's 17 original stories about a magical shopping destination in Chicago where the really unusual people shop for items you can scarcely imagine. And no, we don't mean Hot Topic!

Find it now at your local bookseller, or order from Amazon.


A reminder. 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, music-on-hold,


We have our virus situation under control, however life has gotten complicated here in other ways I won't go into. Serve it to say, I don't really like to throw the exact same set (and pretty much the same setup) at you two weeks in a row, but that's how it worked this week.

Anyway, technically, if I was going to throw a Harry Potter tribute at you, I should have done it when book #7 came out, or when the most recent movie was released. But as it happens, I've finally been reading the books for the first time in a grand Potter marathon (I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through Order of the Phoenix) and so I've had Potter-on-the-brain recently. And when I was thinking, "what else could I do with this front-desk set," this just came to mind. Hope you enjoy...

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.
