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).
- Minion Master Steve
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 |
NewbieOften seen, rarely heard from, the newbie has been around for a while, but he’ll always be “the new guy.” He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, rarely seems to understand what’s going on even when he’s right in the middle of it, and often gets himself in trouble. Comics: 44 |
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 |
Number 10Identified by his camouflage combat helmet, number 10 is the “make war, not love guy.” He’s fond of guns and almost never without one (the bigger, the better). His violent tendencies don’t mesh well with No. 1, who tries mostly to keep him distracted, busy, and out of trouble, guarding the deepest dungeons and most hidden storage facilities. Likes: Guns, Bigger guns, the 2nd Amendment, ammo, Bigger ammo, more ammo, shooting things, thinking about shooting things, practicing shooting things, thinking about practicing shooting things. Dislikes: The rest of the Constitution that some idiots cluttered up the Second Amendment with, peace, a lack of targets, the annoying delay of the Zombie Apocalypse, stopping to reload. Favorite smells: Cordite and victory. Also, Napalm. Yeah. Definately Comics: 21 |
Number 2No. 1’s friend, right-hand, and second in command is the completely dependable Minion. You can depend on him to be cowardly, lazy, and selfish. Foul mouthed (he’s really lose with the “frickin’s”) and cranky, it isn’t clear if No. 1 is oblivious to Number Two’s shortcomings, or if he simply enjoys pushing his second into difficulty and danger. Number two is never seen without his gas mask, even off duty or on vacation, and some have a theory that it’s there to keep the noxious in! Number Two could easily be an overlord, but he just doesn’t have the ambition, the work ethic, and doesn’t want the responsibility. Comics: 132 |
The Great 80s Hero finally gets a line.
A couple of nice props here. The ice-cream items are novelty erasers from a dollar store. The tiny squirt gun is actually a licensed, Super-Soaker key chain. It actually squirts!
Everything about this plan, whatever it is, is weak, and that’s what I love about it.
