Minos the Great chef

strip #214 PLAT DU JOUR




Minos is in deep this time, at least when considering social cues.

We are updating sick today, thus this will be leaning on the short side. We blame the Canadian Weather, and not a particular weatherman (or woman) for the winter days we are having. Sick we are NOT funny! This is due to the side-effects of our syrup. The pharmacist warned us that we may experience temporary loss of humor, turning into a moose and hallucinations. Right now I am an unfunny orignal. Pay attention, I did not misspell "original" but rightly spelled moose in French. Keep your headlights away from me, as I strut my panache allover town.

Next update will be brought by another pharmaceutical experiment on Monday!

The Secret Motive

strip #213 HOLLYWOOD DIET PLAN




Who is this damsel? Long time no see! I bet Minos was not very eager to see her, for she always brings trouble. But (yes, with one "T" only) Minos might be up to a secret celebrity diet plan, right on time for the Oscars!

In other news, this week we didn't join a ghost hunting club led by a "celebrity", we did not try the new Apricot Muffin flavor at our local bakery, we did not ask a medical expert an embarrassing question nor did we ask a financial expert how to turn Minos in a gold mine. All in all we saved over 7000$ by not giving in to social pressure to conform. Of course, money saved is not necessarily money owned, so it's a moderate celebration...

Next comic will sneak up on you on the 30th! You need a calendar to know what day that is for I'm not telling! Advice, do not use a Mayan Calendar, 2014 seems to be beyond its level of interest.

Fine dining is the @!$!!

strip #212 YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT




Before you start taking Minos' advice, and dine on precious laxatives, I must warn you there IS a continuity to this strip. So you might want to hold off the experiment until you're more informed.

We recently added a third character page in the cast section. I hope you'll look at it. You never know when you'll be asked to identify a weirdo from a police lineup!

Yesterday we did something VERY wrong! In fact that police lineup might be closer than not!

An image is worth a thousand words! What if those one thousand words were VERY wrong words? What type of image would cause this? Years ago we found one of those images and we immediately thought of YOU! How could we use it for YOUR benefit? We came up with this naughtypiece. We hope you'll enjoy it. And if you don't, please remember that we wrote this years ago. WE HAVE CHANGED. We are not the same humorists that we used to be, so refrain that pitchfork from meeting my tenderness. It's all in the past. I know YOU don't want to be judged for that bank you robbed last month, after all you have been a Saint ALL day today! And for someone with your behavior it's even a bigger accomplishment! So no pitchforks. CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE NAUGHTYPIECE THEATER!

Next comic will be here when the sun rises from the East and the last rays hit the temple of Knok Nook in Southern Chile, disturbing the ill cat napping on the tomb of Juan. The world wont be ending, so you don't need to disrupt your schedule too much, just make time for Minos!

What are YOU currently reading?

strip #211 IT'S A CLASSIC




The face Minos does in panel three has been pulled by an autobiographical event, a REAL event that some Dumb Bum members experienced a few years ago. Since I care not about the other members, here is how "I" lived it. I thought Bambi was a furry. The fur was misleading after all.. After the "ignorance is bliss" stage, some wise-expert pointed out that furry had more to do with Bambi's conception. Bambi was in fact anthropomorphic!

I was stunned! Did the term "FURRY" refer to storyboards? So I was shown. I still wish I wasn't, I'm not into opossums in that way! If you don't know what furry is, remain ignorant until you're old enough to forget it naturally within a few days. Life is VERY long to carry such a scar. Unless you have a furry comic maker in you, then hurry to find out what it is and make a lot of dirty money!

Next comic will be on either Thursday or Friday, depending in what timezone you live.

A little talented

strip #210 PARENTAL DISCRETION




So this strip is delivered late. Apparently, the Dumb Bum staff does not know how to use a calendar. Nonsense! We all know how to use a calendar. Some better than others, so don't point fingers :)

Minos is hot! How hot? Look at the cover of Times, he's hotter than who ever is on it right now! THAT HOT!!!

Next comic will push Minos' prude-line to the limit! So check back often!

Coming through!

strip #209 THAT'S BULL




That's my favorite title so far! And what makes it very special, one simple fact: it applies to ALL comics involving Minos!

I'm betting nobody saw this one coming :)

With this update the Dumb Bum staff wishes to congratulate themselves for bringing yet another comic on time! That's a record amount without missing a scheduled update. Many webcomic makers achieve punctuality effortlessly, but we're not them! That's because we are very occupied, more than any other maker that is! We have monkeys to feed, mailmen to save from poorly domesticated dogs, dogs to save from vindictive mailmen, NASA meetings to attend, Google Chrome settings to fine-tune over and over and over... We also have a BIG cauldron where we concoct Minos related surprises. Not the normal comics, but FUN STUFF, like the Interview, the Dating Game... We have a lot in store for you this year, AND we'll be punctual. So 2014 shall be an UNCANNY year for all of us! Stay tuned, you don't want to miss the UNCANNY do you?

Glad you were all here on time for the update. Next Update will be on Thursday right after the cows come home! And that's not code for anything, so keep the barn door open!

A Minos signature move

strip #208 SIGN ME OFF




When Minos puts his mind and ENTIRE morning on something, you know tears will follow! Bolanus does have a point, after all they have been through together, the paper bags... the black eyes... the operations... Oh selfish Minos!

At the fourth panel, for a brief moment, I thought Minos finally understood how his sad quest hurts his loved ones. But then I remembered his loved ones are weird, and this is Bolanus after all.

No mention of Icelandic delicacies this week, for we have better news at Dumb Bum Studio! We've been informed that our known Poumplovich received someone's dessert leftovers for New Years! And we were feeling bad for not visiting him in prison! No need, he lives the high life with a dessert and a half and a fresh bar of soap every week! Why should I do anything more for Poumplovich? I pay my taxes, he never thanked me for the soap... I'm telling you, prison changes people, and not for the best always.

Next comic is a noisy one!!! It's all you need to know, but be here on Monday. So be nice and be here. And be here. Right here. Just be. Here that is.

Don't call for help!!! :P

strip #207 POTTY EMERGENCY




Great Year to all! This year try to be less selfish and eat some lutefisk, so a poor Icelander can pass on his serving and eat something else!

This comic is a last minute addition as it came to our attention that Minos had ulterior motives for grabbing that mistletoe. Hurting Thor's feelings was NOT his first priority. We figured it out on our won, ENTIRELY on our own, because everyone on the Dumb Bum staff is a genius! Mistletoe can potentially be deadly to cows!

What? You don't buy that we're geniuses??? Ok you're right. We were clueless until Vakkotaur pointed it out HERE. Thanks! One extra gag is always appreciated.

Next comic will be on Thursday. Two heads, six legs, do the math!
