Marvin and the machines

Ever bought a coke from a vending machine?It was probably designed by Marvin.He had his heyday in the 1970s. He has lost his mojo.

Marvin’s mojo

Marvin used to be able to design all sorts of vending machines.

The design

The next big thingSnack vending machines were Marvin’s second big hit.

Marvin had spent the 70s and 80s sampling the wares from the machines.Unlike most people who became obese, Marvin slumped into a sugar buzz / crash cycle.

Side effects

Coffee became cool in the 1990s.People didn’t want the sugary snacks and carbonated drinks any more.Drinking coffee meant you were brainy and hard working.

Coffee became cool

Marvin’s sleep deprivation meant that he had run out of ideas.He lost his job.His wife left him.This kept him up at night even more.

Idea deficit

Marvin slept where and when he could.

Rock bottom

Marvin stumbled into his local idea exchange by mistake.He was so tired he thought it was a laundromat.It turned out well for Marvin.He finally made a break through.

Idea exchange

The sleep in a can vending machine.

Marvin’s sleep solution

Marvin got his mojo back.The sleep in a can meant he could think up some great ideas.He got himself a car.

Marvin’s mojo’s back

Marvin had a job and a car.But there was a gap.He remembered that ladies like flowers.So he designed a new machine.Next up….

Leaving lonesome town

Marvin still had to wine and dine and romance his new girlfriend.He finally popped the question.

Popping the question

Marvin hasn’t quite got their new home available to scale.He is stuck for an idea at present.But, he’s going to sleep on it…..

Not quite there
