Maybe the punch line on this is a little weak, but the picture makes me laugh. The snake is from a smaller-format action figure set from a Chinese company called Chap Mei. Their figures are usually about 4″ tall (the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah, Newbie screws up yet again. This one makes me laugh, and there are several things I really like about it, especially Number 10 and another unidentified Minion in the background finding comfort in each other’s arms. And the punch[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Pretty sure that’s the Great 80s Hero behind the door. Pretty sure. He’s got the white gloves anyway. But I can’t be sure, and there have been times when you see hands holding the bars of that door or sticking[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, this is the first original, Minions at Work cartoon in several years! Well, kinda new. There’s no new photography here, but there’s a new gag on which the layout is built, rather than throwing some photos in some panels[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I found ways to work some of the wackiest props into Minions at Work cartoons, like the bird in the cage and the cafe table with umbrella. The bird was almost definitely a thrift store item (It’s hand made out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yes, I used this exact same shot for a previously posted cartoon, and a joke that is similar in theme, if not detail. I just liked Number 2’s determined obliviousness to danger and came up with another line. Honestly, they’re[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Though I don’t want them going all soft or becoming TOO self-aware, I do like that my Minions sometimes look up and say, “We’re doing WHAT?” Here’s an example. I also like that it’s in Minion Number 9’s character that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
