Now that “Black Friday” is safely past, look for me to rerun ALL my Christmas-themed Minions at Work cartoons this month, starting today! I liked doing holiday themed Minions at Work cartoons, especially for Christmas, and I was always on[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Minions at Work
We All Do What We Do Best…
One problem with the single-panel format of Minions at Work 1.o was that it gave only the slightest hints of what the interactions and goings-on with the Minions were at like. In some sense, this ill-defined area gave me a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
