Despite my warning last week, there IS a new cartoon for this week. I was able to repurpose outtakes from an earlier photo-shoot and get this one done before my trip. I’ll set it to autopost on Wednesday, since I’ll be out of my office then.
Minions at Work: A Photocomic
The original Minions, since 2006! Evil is not their nature. Evil is just their day job!
Welcome to Minions at Work 2.0 Beta!
This is my test site while I gear up for a new and improved Minions at Work 2.0 webcomic! I'm dumping our original single-panel-with-a-caption format that served us for over 300 cartoons, and going to full-page, multi-panel comics with word balloons! That means a more cinematic look, bigger scope, more character development, actual STORY, and serialized storylines that will span multiple comics, and sometimes multiple weeks!
We're very close to our full, 2.0 reboot (which will officially begin with a big, multi-week story, a lot of which is already "in the can," but right now we're in "soft open" mode, with a weekly schedule of at least one all-new comic page (usually on Wednesday or Thursday) and additional features, such as "remastered" classic comics, bonus panels, and even extra full-page comics, as time, resources, and scheduling allow.
Please enjoy, and we appreciate your feedback and comments (and your support on Patreon, if you feel so inclined, which for a dollar a month will get you most of our comics as soon as they're finished, rather than waiting for post day).

Today’s Cast
BartenderThough he seems reluctant to admit it, the bartender at the pub where the Minions (and sometimes Overlords) often hang out after work was apparently once a Minion, possibly a contemporary of Minion No. 1 and General Zed. He is also wise in the ways of Minion, and unlike most, had the smarts to get out. Comics: 13 |
Doctor Head-in-a-jarEvery group has its whipping-boy, and for the Legion of Doom, it’s poor, Doctor Head-in-Jar. A sad, disembodied head in a jar (thus the name), Dr HIAJ doesn’t say much, and always looks kind of sad. He’s frequently bullied by Doctor Coldblood, who like to call “show of hands” votes as meetings just to shut down his ideas. Though he is sometimes seen riding around with his jar mounted on a robot body of his own design, he and his jar are often seen just sitting around. At Legion of Doom meetings, he’s often just sitting on the table, and he sometimes turns up in the background in the oddest places, in “where’s Waldo” fashion. Despite not having a stomach, Doctor Head-in-a-Jar is known to have a drinking problem, and is sometimes seen pouring booze directly into the liquid in his jar. Pet Peeves: Pretty much everything Doctor Coldblood does to him, being called “Bob,” sharing his jar with goldfish. Comics: 26 |
Great 80s HeroHis origins are a mystery, though we're hoping they're in a catchy title sequence somewhere with a Mike Post theme song! All we know is, he has a cape, a not-ready-for-comic-books costume, big hair, and a dazzling smile that looks good in TV Guide. We don't know much about his powers, except he's strong, he flies, he gets hit on the head from behind a lot, and yet always comes out on top by five minutes before the hour. Comics: 10 |
No. 1Leader of White Team, call him “Number One,” not “No One,” if you know what’s good for you (and if you think he might be listening). Experienced and unflappable, is wise in the ways of Minion. Unfortunately, he’s been blown off a few too many catwalks, and been hit in the head from behind just a few many times, so not everything he says is trustworthy, or even entirely sane. But when it comes to advice on staying alive as a minion, he’s the best you’ve got. He speaks with a mangled accent that’s one part Baltic-state and one part Valley Girl. It isn’t clear if this is the result of his country of origin, or simply repeated head-injuries. He claims it’s because he learned English by watching a pirated VHS tape of the movie “Clueless” over and over. Likes: Bringing his team back alive, pizza. Dislikes: Losing another Number 13, General Zed. Comics: 178 |
