This just in from my daughter, who is in the computer game business. The Jim Lee referred to is a famed Korean-American action comic artist. I'm not yet sure of the exact source of the email or its contents. Even if you don't "get" the jokes, you gotta at least admire the cartoon's analogies and similes. And all the wonderful donuts. Hmmm... donuts!:

…With that said I have to admit that those sons of bitches have a sense of humor. Smedley (SOE President) sent me an email this morning that just said he'd sent me a package. I assumed it was a bomb but just a few minutes ago a man showed up and proclaimed that he “had our donuts”. That's not something I expected to hear today. We followed him out to his truck where he showed us our 1,200 freshly baked Krispy Kreme donuts.
“Are you guys having a party or something?”
“No we aren't having a party. It's a joke.”
“Why would someone send you so many donuts as a joke?”
“You wouldn't get it.”
Well played SOE…well played indeed.

So does your daughter work at Penny Arcade? That's actually a pretty funny (and influential) web comic. Very cool. :)

No, she works for a computer game company here in the Bay Area, and is looking to move to another soon.
But thanks! That explains who got the donuts!

The penny Arcade site is here. Near the botom of the fromt page is further comment on the infamous "donut incident":

Here's another Penny Arcade cartoon, picked up from Wikipedia. It shows Michael Chertoff, I mean, Skeletor, vandalizing Wikipedia's article on He-Man:
These guys are good.
