Two more pages of this story this week, so keep checking the site!
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
Doctor SantaIt’s rumored the Doctor Santa was once a normal, mall, Santa Claus. But after years of abuse by his employers and ill-behaved children, and constant exposure to over-commercialism and greed, he began to upgrade his Santa Suit, year by year, starting with urine-resistant trousers, on to an electrified pull-proof beard, and so-on, until he had a jolly, armored, cybernetic battle suit with which to terrorize the holidays. Cynical, always angry, Doctor Santa often hides his features under a smiling, rosy-cheeked, battle helmet. He is fond of firearms, explosives, and destruction, yet he remains devoted to a twisted idea of the holidays, delivering presents to those both good and evil. The Minions often take it upon themselves to “lose” presents of fissionable material and weapons of mass destruction bound for terrorist groups. Comics: 15 |

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 9If Number 9 has a motto, it’s “I’m a lover, not a fighter.” It’s not that Number 9 is cowardly or lazy. That’s Number Two’s job. It’s just that Number 9 has a pragmatic view of what constitutes a reasonable payment-to-risk radio, and on a Minions’ salary, that isn’t very much. Number 9 is one of the more technically proficient Minons, and he loves to play with the toys that come with his job. He likes electricity and things with levers and buttons. He likes things that spark, glow, and shoot beams. He especially likes things that go fast, to the point of strapping a warp-drive on the Minionmobile. He can also frequently be seen at the helm of Cap’n Rehab’s submarine, the Naughtyless. Least Favorite Food: Fish Sticks. Pet Peeves: Overtime, penguin practical jokes, salt water corroding his “bling.” Comics: 109 |
