Memo to Staff Regarding the Ink Machine is a memo written by Joey Drew to the studio staff, about the Ink Machine's purpose and benefits.[1]
Transcript
- People often ask me what sets Joey Drew Studios apart from your average Joe Schmoe Studios. Why, it's our wonderful staff, of course, but how can we take our work to the next level? I present to you ... the Ink Machine!
- The Ink Machine is the latest in artistic technology, custom created in conjunction with the Gent Corporation just for us. This marvel of a machine churns out high-grade, fine-quality ink and pumps it throughout the studio like a steady, beating heart. This ink can be used not just for drawing, but also for creating usable, life-sized productions of, well, just about anything you can think of!
- Why might we need our own Ink Machine, you ask? Excellent question! A gourmet chef doesn't use second-rate ingredients; no, she carefully selects the finest goose liver for her foie gras to avoid committing a faux pas. Actually I think foie gras is disgusting, so let's rephrase. Macaroni and cheese. Now what's better: Macaroni and cheese made with whatever cheese you can scrounge up at the corner deli, OR macaroni and cheese made from a blend of finely aged Gouda and Havarti?
- Think of the Ink Machine as the vessel for your gourmet cheese blend. This ink can be placed into the newly installed “Ink Maker” machines around our studio, to print whatever you'd like-a wrench, a radio, a gear, a plunger, you name it! Because this ink is the crème de la crop in the ink world, it can also enable you to render illustrations so crisp, so real, you might think they could actually come to life. Can you imagine?
Behind the scenes
This memo was found in the Chapter 1 of Part I in Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook, and later in its updated edition. It's also the first memo found in the book.
Notes
- ↑ Bendyland began development in 1940. Since the machine was created by Gent and later used for Bendyland, it was likey written close to these events.
