Stand by, following some new commercial jibber-jabber for a body-shot from your Minion Master!

Your visit is important to us. Please give all your Christmas presents to the nearest Minion and we'll throw you down the chimney tonight.


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
(Naughty is as naughty does!)

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!)

Greetings, Hang Overs!

Welcome to 2009! Cheer up! It can't suck as bad as last year!

Can it?

Anyway, this week's toon offers some more Minion employment advice that you can put to work in your own little life. We're all minions on this bus.

As I said last week, we've been on a real James Bond kick over here at the Lair, and I made one last purchase this week that really puts a cap on things. Ask yourself this, was there ever a bad Bond song? Sure, some are better than others, but they're all great, starting with the Bond theme music in "Doctor No," and on "Goldfinger," "Diamonds are Forever," "You Only Live Twice," "Live and Let Die," "A View to a Kill," and many others.

Until recently, if you wanted to get them all, you'd need a stack of CDs (or at least pay $20+ for downloads that are useless when your Zune hits a leap-year or your iPod's battery bursts into flame!). But now they're all on one, affordable CD. Trust me, this is money well spent.

How much would you pay? Operators are standing by!

Nah, not actually. But buy it from Amazon through this link, and send a little scratch our way.



Your iPod will self-destruct in ten seconds. Gotta go!

See you next week.

*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 an actual candidate.)


Greetings, Under-employed Minion-lovers!

Still in California. Outsourced all the Minions to India while I'm gone.

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.
