I was up against the deadline wall here, with nothing but a vague idea that Minion No. 1 would address the reader and do some kind of behind-the-scenes thing. It went off on a wild tangent from there, and I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is a remastered version of the very first “Minions at Work” (at that time just known as “Minions”) dating back to May, 5, 2006. That was when it was first posted in the old Blogger site. It likely was posted[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

As for the “Fall of the Lairs” that sets up our Minions at Work 2.o reboot, one question is, did anybody see it coming? This all-new comic strongly implies the answer is, “yes.”
