Minions #248 - Penguin Priors
 |
| Click for Maximum Merry! |
Yup! You asked for more evil-Santa, and you've got more evil-Santa!
Far as I know, this is also the first time I've ever used the Penguin in a strip without ANY of the other regular Minions or Overlords for backup. It's certainly the first time I've used a "Penguin at Work" logo. So mark that down, so you can tell your grandchildren you were there the day it happened!
Maybe you'll notice I'm NOT trying to sell you anything this week. I mean, you can still hit the donate button if you want to, but I just thought I'd remind you that the holidays are coming, and with the economy being what it is, there's bound to be a toy-drive or food drive near you in need of help. If you don't know what's up in your area, I'd recommend contacting your local food bank or fire department. They'll probably be able to tell you what's up, where to donate, and how else you can help out in your town or city.
Just remember, there are plenty of kids right there in your town who won't see a holiday gift, and for whom a holiday is just another cold, hungry day. I know it's tough all over, but if you can afford a small toy or a can of food, you'll make a difference! Stick it to the Man by showing them that evil has a heart! Crush their world-view with your out-of-character generosity, and turn their limited version of morality upside-down! HAhahahaHAHAHAHAH!

Yes, this week's cartoon is kinda silly. Silly always makes me nervous, because you never know if silly will be the funniest cartoon ever, or land with a thud, or just unintentionally piss people off. But sometimes you've got to chance it.
Busy week this week, with with getting our HardBodies shared-world military science-fiction project going. But our teams are lined up, ideas are beginning to perk for the next three novels in the series. I think this thing is just going to be more fun than anyone can stand. We're going to have giant fighting robots, fast-moving vehicles, aliens, dinosaurs, submarines, sea-monsters, action, suspense, mystery, romance, intrigue, thrills and laughs. Our goal is to make this series like Christmas morning for our fellow nerds, and I think we're on course to do just that!
The first ebooks won't start showing up until next year, but you can still bookmark our website and follow along as things develop.
See you guys next week.

Greetings, Short-sells!
Hey, I just got a new Droid X phone, which in no way has anything to do with why this week's cartoon is going out a few hours late. Okay, it does, but it's only one of a long list of distractions around here, which I won't bore you with.
And yes, if you're wondering, one of them (well down the list, I'll admit) is getting ComicPress figured out and configured so we can more the site to something more sophisticated and easy to navigate. It's going slow, but it's going. I'd rather get it done right than get it done soon, so be patient.
Does today's cartoon seem a bit out of season to you? Well, I wondered about that, but it's clearly about Santa Claus in a bar BEFORE Christmas, so it could easily be several months before. I've always wondered what Santa does in the off season, given that he's basically a super-villain anyway. I mean, he has a hidden arctic lair, hoards of obedient minions who toil endlessly for him, super-powers, maintains surveillance of millions of people (well, kids) and as I've said before, he annually practices home-invasion on an epic and international scale.
Franky, I'm in awe of the guy. What do you say? Should we see more of Santa's evil?
See you guys next week!

Minion Number 9: Hey, man. What's happening? Hey, you seen a giant robot around here? We just had one run amok. I hate it when they run amok. It's a lot easier to catch them when they just mosey amok. Stroll amok. That's good too. Hey, did you notice that somebody left the typograph running? This is all going right out on the internet. You knew that, right? Hey, Penguin, get over here and keep an eye on this microphone while I go try and figure out how to turn it off.

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.

Greetings, Trying-to-Chew-Your-Legs-Off Folks!
Hey, some exciting news this week. Remember a while back when I talked about dumping blogger and moving the site to WordPress, and the ComicPress template that's actually designed from the ground up for web comics? Well, we're doing it! Not today, but hopefully soon, and I wanted to give you some advance notice and let you know what's going on.
First of all, I've bought a NEW domain name for the Minions. www.TheMinionsAtWork.com
Why? Well, the problem is, we get a LOT of traffic here from a cool web-site called TVTropes, which uses our cartoons as examples for some of its TV and movie tropes. As such, it has a zillion direct links to individual cartoons on the current site. If I move this site, or change the software (and therefore break all the links), I lose that traffic. So my plan is to leave this domain and site as is, except there'll be a big notice and link at the top pointing folks to our NEW site.
The other problem is, we've got several hundred old cartoons posted here that will have to be moved into some kind of archive if I move the site. So, if I leave this site in place, it will serve as an archive until all the old posts get moved (and as you'll see, remastered) as we go down the line.
My plan with the new site, when I get it started up, is to begin posting a new cartoon there on Mondays as always, followed by a couple of "remastered" classic Minions cartoons each week. By remastered, it means I'll do a clean-up pass on each of our old cartoons. Some (especially the very early ones) may be posted in higher resolution than you've seen them before. Titles will be updated, some glitches and mistakes will be fixed, and other minor improvements made.
I hope that even long-time Minions fans will enjoy our "remastered" cartoons as well as our new ones. Heck, looking back, I've forgotten I did a lot of these, so they'll probably look new to most of you as well! Also, at two posts a weej, it means we'll have three posts a week on the new site for a couple YEARS without me needing to speed up production at all! Since I'm going to be working harder to get new eyes on the site, hopefully will pay off for everyone!
Of course, there's a lot of work to be done. I'm totally clueless with ComicPress, so it's going to be steep learning curve, and even once I do, I'll have to redesign a new site to fit the template. If you'd like to follow my progress and make rude comments, visit me a www.TheMinionsAtWork.com any old time (not much to see there yet, but maybe later this week). As always, your support through donations and buying stuff through our CafePress and Amazon links is well appreciated!
Don't worry, I'll give you plenty of advance warning when we're moving! Unless I learn a lot faster than I expect, I think it will be at least several weeks, and probably longer. Stay tuned!

Greetings, Double-threat-half-wits!
I've been editing video this weekend. The bad news, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with Minions at Work! Ha!
In fact, I've been too busy on other projects to do anything major with the Minions at all, save shooting today's cartoon. But I have been scheming a bit. I'm thinking about putting together some Minions cartoon collections in ebook form and releasing them through the Amazon Kindle Store (and possibly other ebook platforms as well). While the Kindle device itself is black-and-white and not very good with images, there are lots of color platforms running Kindle apps now (iPad, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, etc.) which might make it worthwhile.
Right now, I'm figuring each book would consist of about 25 selected old cartoons, some new material, and a bunch of new supporting text. Price to be determined, but it would be $2.99 or less. Yes, most of this would be material already available for free on the web, but that would hardly be unprecedented in the blog/web-comic-to-book world. Lots of people have done it, done it quite successfully, even when they're careful to point out that most of the content is free on the web. Some people just prefer getting things in ebook form, and don't mind paying a little to get it that way.
Of course, it would be another way for you guys to possibly support our evil enterprises at the lair and conveniently show "Minions at Work" to your friends. But I'm also thinking we might reach a new audience who aren't the web-comic type.
Anyway, as always, your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions are valued and ignored (or, if we like them, stolen), so enter a comment if you have any thoughts.
