Steve Argyle - Comic Panels for “The Maggott Show” by Mark Argyle
“The show itself is a wonderful patchwork of depraved hilarity and I highly recommend listening to the whole series. Maggott really was a man before his time, creating podcast formats before there even was such a thing.” - Steve Argyle
Finding the history of the series is beyond my researching skills. A small band of rebels seems to crop up here and there trying to keep this series from disappearing completely into the lower basement levels of the internet. There are some of the earliest episodes archived on youtube but there are over 100 episodes.
The Maggott Show appears to be a part of the larger world developed within an organization called OPERATION CWAL (some sort of Starcraft fan-fic group I haven’t learned too much about yet that Mark was apparently involved with early on.) The earliest instance of “Emperor Maggott” I’ve seen in cwal.net comes all the way from July 23, 2007. The show has a descriptive page posted by someone called “JarickCWAL” dated December 7, 2000 (their third post on their first day of activity on the site - this individual apparently joined everything2.com just to talk about CWAL stuff.)
Anyway, this message board post, dated March 27, 2005, mentions Frugle getting “his unit removed and replaced with a cappitino machine *see episode 26*” That episode predates this date for certain. This comic, which shows Frugle with a cappuccino machine in his pants, can be dated to a similar time period perhaps?
Steve has also done some 3D work with the character Frugle.
