strip #222 BEAUTIFUL MONEY




Poor poor Minos... Nobody wants to lock lips with him! But rest assured, Minos has NOT said his last word, and I believe he'll put his money where his mouth is before all is done!

This weekend I did not do the following activities: Find good Lutefisk locally, eat lutefisk, import lutefisk or even smell lutefisk! I did not lick any lutefisk or even try to promote it to others... Some weekends deserve to be special after all:)

There is a NEW incentive this week if you vote for Minos on TWC. So follow the image below, and enjoy the good reward!

This little arc is not done yet! You will see the next part of it right here on Friday! (Yes, I could say Thursday instead, but Friday reminds me of fries and I am kinda hungry...) And I believe I saw some "time-travelling" in the panels!!! Who can wait?

The new comic incentives for your Vote

Vote for more comics! Do you ever wonder what Minos' relatives and friends are doing while he is trapped in the maze? Are their lives easier than a Minotaur's misfortune? Do they drink fine wine, mingle with celebrities (like Castor and the Danaides!), or do they just talk about Minos behind his back? Well, you're about to find out. We will chronicle their stories in a series of special black&white comics that you can ONLY see when you VOTE AT TOPWEBCOMICS!

A NEW COMIC will be posted every TUESDAY! So, do not miss them :) To Launch ourselves in this batty direction we have AGRICOLA'S TRAGEDY part One. Vote for the true tale.

Stay hydrated with something very juicy...

strip #221 NEVER BEEN KISSED




Minos is here, thong and lipstick included! Tell your friends, this "too-good to be true" deal cannot last forever. But rest assured, we'll stretch it as much as we can. Maybe Minos will have more luck with his next customer... Myopia was common in the old days.

Now that the Olympics are over (not ALL of them, just the 2014 ones) we can go back to mentioning things we all care to learn more about! Icelandic Lutefisk!!! But not today... Just the thought of it makes me... well you know... wanting to talk about something else.

There is a NEW incentive this week if you vote for Minos on TWC. So follow the image below, and enjoy the good reward!

Our Next customer will see Minos on Monday! Minos is too irresistible to wait till Tuesday this week... What a catch!

Minos wants more money and that's not good.

strip #220 CREEP OF CRETE




As we promised, Minos is now MORE beautiful than ever! (Thanks to Revlon for making him so irresistible with shade #264 Sizzling Flaming Cherry.) If you agree that Minos is now hotter (or even if you don't, won't change a thing) get ready for a few burning weeks of Minos in Business, as this is AN ARC! So tell your children to avoid the internet for a while.

Now that the Olympics are over I have the pleasure to announce that the IOC accepted one of my sport suggestions for the 2018 Olympics in South Korea: Two Men Skeleton! Thanks to the ILGA Association for saying "Two Men Skeleton? Who would ever oppose this?"... At least some members of ILGA backed-me up, but I don't know why.

Now in REAL news, Minos updates again when the Koalas Cross the 13th Interstate at Noon near the town of Forkburry! (Yes, the same town Poumplovich stopped in for two days in 2002) In other words, on Friday! So get moving Koalas, our readers are waiting!

Who needs to count calories?

strip #219 THE HUNGER GAMES




There you have it, another update is here! Late only because of curling. Enough said.

Olympics: After the IOC turned down my ideas for NEW and comprehensive winter Olympic events, I moved my inventiveness to the summer games. The IOC is about to receive my new sport suggestion: Trampoline Boxing! Look for it in the 2040 games. And then look for the TEAM TRAMPOLINE BOXING in 2048!!! My intelligence is only used to serve mankind from now on.

In case you have not seen what we posted on Twitter this week, here have a look! Minos caught curling fever! It's not deadly only dangerous to his non-existing social life.

Minos will update again on Tuesday, and I can tell you he is more beautiful than EVER! He's putting an effort at last in the right direction. Tell your friends.

Minos needs some directions

strip #218 JACKASS COMPASS




What a lovely rhyming title! AH! that 3 letter word never fails to crack me a smile ;) Can this be? Is Bolanus ALSO lost? Who knows. The future doesn't know, because I failed to tell it.

Olympics: Talking about those rhyming words, my FAVORITE Olympic sport is curling!!! It has so many "ENDS" I can never get enough... No I'm not a pervert, I'm just a normal person who enjoys the view of others sweeping and sweating and screaming end after end. I'm perfectly normal.

I'm worried about the Winter Olympics, thus far the doping screening has not been very successful. Cold weather makes it tough to retain urine, scientists say, and those thrilling adrenaline rushing sports, leave many many athletes "dry". How do they collect urine samples from the athletes after the Freestyle Aerials, the Skeleton events, the Halfpipe traumas? I fear they lose it while performing. I know for a fact, in Luge, they pass a cotton swab over the helmet after the event, and generally speaking it gets wet enough for a doping test... the dynamics of the sport make it plausible, but all athletes are not as lucky...

On a brighter note, we will GIVE YOU SOMETHING FOR FREE!!! We made a little FUN Minos survey, to "learn" more about our readers, and how to improve things for you. Please click the image below, it will take you to the short survey (known in the business as the Minos the Minotaur Inquisition) and once you complete it, The Dumb Bum staff will do its magic, and you'll get a link for the FREE APP! (Hint, Minos appears in the game!!!! It's a game featuring Minotaurs!)

Thanks to all who participated so far! Your feedback is very appreciated, and will help Minos survive long into the third millennium.

Minos will update again! And again! And again! But let's not get ahead too much, and gather here on Friday for a mythological delight or disaster. See ya here!

And cuddlier :)

strip #217 BARN ATTRACTION




WEll... that speaks for itself. Happy Valentines Day, if you're not too traumatized after spending some time with Minos.

Olympics: By watching the competitions, you can guess how bad the world economy is. Germany can force the Olympic Committee to add a NEW luge event, so they can win more medals... Team luge... Consistently, the IOC has turned down my repetitive luge suggestions: Three-Men Luge, One Man one Donkey luge, and my favorite a luger holding on to an egg basket as he slides. All BRILLIANT ideas... The Germans would most probably still win all of those, but it would be more fun for me to watch.

For all the doped athletes of the world, fearing the "doping-test", Dumb Bum can rescue ALL of you! I've been keeping some of my BEST urine samples over the years (400 of them) and I'm ready to sell them cheaper than any other stranger! All we need it's a clever way to swap (not that I need your urine sample, but I'll keep it either way, why not? I collect weirder things.)

Next comic should be here on Tuesday. That is my prediction!
