Old Minimizer Comic

Post by JTHManiac » Sat May 02, 2026 9:45 pm

Does anyone remember Minimizer’s western themed comic? I think it was called “Joining the Collection” and I can’t find it anywhere.

Hmm, not heard that one, but I am thinking of maybe a "Westworld" themed one? Possible handheld image?

I don't have the answer but the legend that is The Minimizer is pretty active on this forum.

I'll get the ritual started for the summon to this thread:

Summoning only works on demons :P

And nobody said anything starting with "I wish" so I saw no need to do anything.

But lets see if my archives can help you :D

Well looking at your profile photo, I may have summoned a possible demon? I think I am wrong but it does look like demon/human hybrid?

Thank for the images, not seen this one before.


Will say, Minimizer pencil works like this are so good in my book, and they always had a great way of drawing the women in, can't think of a word, adventure outfits? Like in Sandi's Trials.

We had it too good with Minimizer's Shrinking Site, the original pencilling works and stories are great. I have praised them before numerous times across a few forums over the years and will any day. Even though Minimizer's work are spread far and wide. If they needed money and just put all of it in a Mega collection zip file with a pay-what-you-want, even though I could probably find 90% of it for free, Money is changing hands, no question.

Another Auld Minimizer Comic (sorry, Dan Fogelberg), or Name That Blonde!

Post by belittled01 » Sat May 16, 2026 3:31 pm

Funny you should mention... I was remembering a page of Minimizer's comics featuring Samara, and found this. The source page (with captions) appears to be gone, and I don't remember the name of her blonde (?) rival who zaps Sammi down to size. Any clues who she was? Thanks.

FOLLOWUP: Uh, wow. Gee. The "add image" link DOESN'T WORK, so I can't post the image. I could send it on request...? Or even better, SOMEBODY FIX THE UPLOAD LINK. (It's a four-panel of the two women dressed like dancers, and the blonde appears to Taser Samara, but she shrinks and is captured.)

@belittled01 Add pictures works fine...if you have made at least one post before :P


Unfortunately I don't think I have the pictures going with any of the stories...unless they are also part of something else and then I of course would need the correct name to have any chance to find them.

You could try your luck on Minimizer deviant art page https://www.deviantart.com/the-minimizer/gallery
But IO don't think it is complete

On the one hand, thanks for the link. On the other... needle, meet haystack. 🙁 If this being my first post on this board is the hassle, that should remedy itself soon enough. I used to chat with these folks and others when these images were new (and the Internet was powered by rodents on treadmills), and still have the memories and a few images. I was sorry to see the source pages didn't last. (Archive org keeps the stats, but not what the stats were about?) Whoever the other char was in the picture, I don't think I ever talked to her in a chatroom? Thx.

That's the one. 🙂 IIRC, there were captions explaining the story. Mostly I'm curious who the captress was. Thanks.

Minimizer posted the illustration of poor Ariel covered with semen from head-to-toe on this message board. ("That stuff doesn't come out! Ask Monica Lewinsky!"-talon)

That was part of the "Shrinking the Ladies of SW" series. The caption just says "The real reason Samara never got along with cheerleaders".

Hm, so no name? I remembered cheerleaders, but that term doesn't always work. I'm still curious if she had a name or other appearances. (Samara was usually a short ton of fun.) 😉 Thanks.

I may call her Haley, just as a reference, unless I hear she went by something else?

I guess you could try checking Minimizer's other comics that have cheerleaders in them ("Diminished Opposition", "Keeper", "Something Different"), if you can find them.

Have you read Minimizer's comic strip "Zero Heroes"? He said that he based Micro Girl on Samara/Sammi.

I probably read it new, but not since. I picked and chose drawings to keep; usually counterparts of women we both chatted with. Other than one I remember where a new sw meets several others we knew from online, I'm not too invested in allll of Minimizer's artwork, great though it may be? But I would like to know that cheerleader's name. Thanks
