Joseph "Joey" Drew was an American animator, one of the two founders of Joey Drew Studios, and the overarching antagonist of the Bendy franchise. Joey was famous for introducing the popular Bendy cartoons with his friend and former animator Henry Stein from the 1930s to the 1940s. After Henry left the studio, Joey decided to expand the company and hired various animators and talented voice actors.
After Joey hired theme park creator Bertrum Piedmont to create Bendy Land, a theme park based on the Bendy cartoons, he wanted to make the characters to interact with guests at the park. He partnered with the Gent corporation to build the Ink Machine, a giant machine that produced a special type of ink that Joey used to create “life-like” characters. His first experiment was a failure to Joey since it didn’t “have a soul”. He then convinced Susie Campbell to be apart of his experiments resulting in a success of life-like cartoon characters.
Joey used other employees in the experiments, including Sammy Lawrence and Norman Polk, resulting in the studio going under investigation for employee abuse and mistreatment. This along with millions of dollars being spent caused the studio to go bankrupt and Bendy to fall into obscurity. Joey, now an old and bitter man, stole the Ink Machine from Thomas Connor and used it to create an alternate dimension inside the machine as a way to pour his anger out. He created an alternate version of Henry Stein and tortured him to get back at his old partner for abandoning him.
After years of doing this, Allison Pendle, a previous voice actor for the studio, came to visit Joey ever now and then which made Joey rethink his decisions. This made Joey create a version of Alice Angel to help the fake Henry on his journey. After seeing how Alice and Henry interacted, it made Joey want someone in his life so he decided to create a daughter. After many failed attempts, he finally created the perfect daughter from the machine and named her Audrey Drew, finally being happy in his life. Joey would later pass away sometime in 1971 but his legacy would still continue as one of Joey’s friends, Nathan Arch, would continue his visions and reintroduced Bendy to a new generation.
Physical Appearance
Only seen at the end of Chapter 5 of the first game in the current time of 1963, Joey is a tall, slight elderly-aged man of medium build with blue eyes, slicked-back grey hair and a slim mustache. Due to his current age, Joey has walking difficulties while still able to stand up and walk to some extent. The wheelchair he owns is used to help him move around when necessary.
Personality
Joey is optimistic in general, which reveals him to be something of a workaholic (in other words, "compulsive worker"). Speaking with a thick, distinctive western accent, Joey himself in his past age boasts the personality of a big thinker and dreamer, a man with large aspirations for both himself and his company. Claiming that belief can get everyone from anywhere in the world, Joey's larger than life attitude was most likely a major selling point to Henry when starting the studio. In Bendy and the Ink Machine, the other cassettes left behind by many animation studio employees, however, paint a different picture beneath the facade. With numerous references to Joey's harsh work ethic, a mind constantly disregarding old ideas for new ones, and his eccentricities regarding offerings to the gods, Joey's working personality hints at a more obsessive side to his work that slowly began to alienate his staff. On the surface, he seems like a jovial, caring, passionate, yet over-the-top man who wants others to accomplish their dreams, but as heard in his audio log in Chapter 4, this is all merely a façade as in reality he appears to be a greedy, manipulative, selfish, callous, cynical backstabber who only cares about his own gain and is willing to do anything to have it all to himself. He seems to care little about his employees, seeing them as expendable. This is evident as he is heard speaking about sacrificing them to fulfill his wishes. His tape in Boris and the Dark Survival indicates a secretly vulnerable side to him. When he shows up in Chapter 5, he seems to have become remorseful and repentant, realizing his actions were the wrong ones and what Henry did was right.
Books (Pre-studio) Studio Expansion and BendyLand
Due to Joey's questionable work ethic and being away from his wife Linda so long, Henry left the company. After Henry leaves, Joey begins to expand the studio and hires more animation staff to replace him. Also during this time period Joey becomes inspired to build an amusement park called Bendyland. He contacts Bertrum Piedmont who untimely agrees to help build the park in 1940. Joey however was very critical of Bertrum's creative work and would often annoy him by calling Bertrum "Bertie".
Creating the Cycle
As his studio continue to plummet, Joey began blaming everyone for all the mistakes that had been made, rather than taking the blame for himself. He even began blaming Henry Stein for leaving him a few years ago. In his anger, he used the ink machine to create a parallel dimension called the Cycle, which is an ink and paper version of his studio, which is stuck in an endless loop.
Investigation and Downfall
On August 15th, 1948 at the time of 9:30 AM, Snooks and Spitner send a bankruptcy report to Joey Drew Studios, which results in Joey Drew Studios getting shut down for good on August 28th. After Joey Drew Studios shut down, Joey disappeared from the public eye.
Bendy and the Ink Machine Boris and the Dark Survival
An audio log recorded by Joey can be listened to through obscure, but challenging conditions. Unlike the other audio logs, the location of Joey's audio log is fixed. The log is hidden inside a compartment hidden within a brick wall, which can only be accessed by playing the Gent-made Pachinko machine and beating Wally Franks' high score (15 points). Upon playing the log, it reveals a message sent by Joey to his old friend, Nathan Arch, who at the time, was vacationing in South America with his spouse, Tessa. he mentions that he would not have messaged him unless absolutely necessary since he believes that people should only rely on assistance to conquer challenges when it is clear that there is no other option. He then bluntly states that the studio is running short on funding (this is meant to imply that he was lying to his employees when he said that the studio was in perfect condition). He then requests that Nathan wire Joey an unspecified, yet the possibly great amount of money that was mentioned in a previous letter.
Bendy and the Dark Revival
The real Joey only appears in memorabilia of Achgate Studios (showing his legacy in the eyes of the media before Audrey turns on the ink machine) and his voice is heard during the Studio Tour she finds after ending up in the Cycle. However, a ghostly cartoon effigy of his younger self... self described as "not the man, but just the memory" appeared three times to Audrey to guide her so she can fix his mistakes (as a dead man, he cannot change anything). Upon returning to the real world with Bendy, Audrey finds a copy of Joey's book "The Illusion of Living" was waiting for her on her desk, which not only was filled with pictures of the characters she met (oddly enough), but also had a sticky note on the cover reading "For My Daughter - J.D.". This is implied to be part of her inheritance from Joey Drew, as she states his cartoon world is now hers to control.
•Joey Drew is reminiscent to Andrew Ryan, the main antagonist of Bioshock. Both are head owners who have desires to let everything they have in mind come true, leading to their downfall and ruin everything they had first built.Also, coincidentally, both are dead as of the events of the second chapter of their respective franchises.
•In a Twitter comment about Joey Drew, theMeatly said the best and worst part about Joey is his "unending desire to make the impossible possible".
•Joey Drew is most likely inspired by both Walt Disney and Max Fleischer, two animation founders from the same time period of the Bendy cartoons. While the Bendy cartoons themselves have the animation style influenced to Fleischer's work, Joey's larger than life persona and own name studio is in reference to Disney. Joey's birth year is 1901, the same year where Walt Disney was born.
•Joey's surname is a pun, meaning that Joey drew cartoons.
•He is one of four human characters to make a full physical appearance, the others being Henry, Audrey, and Wilson.
•Prior to the release of Bendy and the Dark Revival, he was the only human character to make a full appearance.
