Whats Argyle Action Theater?
Argyle Action Theater (AAT) was, in a way, the mother of Leave It To Jesus. No longer avaliable online, AAT was targeted at the gamer subculture, and featured (primarily) blurry black-and-white photographs of action figures early on. Later, though, it expanded into mutiple formats, with strips being made using video games, Flash, and even a short animated clip entitled Bitch Wars: The Last Temptation of Christ. AAT’s schedule was so erratic that you couldn’t even really call it that; sometimes, I would publish six or seven new comics in a single day, and then not release another comic for six months. Eventually, I killed off Argyle Action Theater in order to work on Leave It To Jesus. Many of the characters in LITJ are characters from AAT: Heather, Michael, Jesus, Nixon, and Robitussin are all characters I imported. Most of the images of the main characters come from photos (or clip-art) that I created (or found) while doing AAT.
