Mo originally called her “serving wench”, so his manners have definitely improved.
As for Moses, I’ve never seen the Guardianista mindset more succinctly depicted.
Totally makes sense that Moses would be drinking straight up. He wouldn’t want mixes to pollute his alcohol. He’s consistent in his views: non-sexist, non-discriminatory, totally po-mo.
@nina That’s just the point, isn’t it? The multi-layered ironic juxtaposition of cultural relativism and political correctness, manifested in a fundamentalist aesthete. Kind of Polly Toynbee with a beard 😉
@nina : I think Moses assumes Jesus and Mo share his values & culture. Since (as far as he’s concerned) they’ve had the same upbringing he feels it’s Ok to lecture them on their failings.
Jesus & Mo (the characters) are absurd, blinkered, and oddly very sweet. J&M (the cartoon) is brilliant: sharp, delicious, irresistible. Salman Rushdie
Jesus and Mo cartoons are wonderfully funny and true. Richard Dawkins
Jesus and Mo make the world a better place, bless their little hearts. Ophelia Benson
In a world defined by outrage and offence and liberal spinelessness, Jesus and Mo is a treasure, whose value we should never fail to recognize. Read them. Laugh. And think. Kenan Malik
The brilliant, celebrated, freaking hilarious atheist comic strip ... Greta Christina
...rays of sanity in a befuddled world. Keri Hulme
The liveliest depictions of Muhammad currently available... Malise Ruthven
J & Mo is the funniest and most consistently thought-provoking cartoon strip on the Net. In a saner world, it would run in a major newspaper. Nelson Jones, Heresy Corner
Consistently amusing, frequently thought-provoking and often heart-warming. New Humanist
Jesus & Mo is one of the most wonderful things on the internet.. JT Eberhard
Wittily captures much of the absurdity of religious apologetics. Mano Singham
I love jesusandmo.net cartoons - witty and sharp! Katha Pollitt
Often hilarious, frequently wry, these cartoons do what all the best cartoons do: they tell the truth through humour. Terry Sanderson, NSS President
...a wonderfully acid British cartoonist... Nick Cohen
I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman
...empowering, important and deeply progressive, not to mention hilarious... Council of Ex-Muslims

So why doesn’t Moses drink? Or is that a saki shot glass in front of him?????
Barperson? Barista? Tapperson? Tappist? I don’t know, none of them seem very good. Maybe we should ask the lady herself.
I’m assuming that’s a shotglass in front of Moses, not necessarily saki that is (was) in it.

@ Author- mistake in last panel. Should be “call” instead of “called”, unless I am even tireder than I thought.
Good gag btw.

Maybe Moses can’t drink because when he tips the glass, the liquid parts
funny that Moses defends the taliban actions as being their culture, but calls Jesus and Mo sexist…
hey moses whatcha think bout little girls MURDERED by the taliban for going to school? Is it ok cause it’s their culture?

Moses would never drink anything with water (or ice cubes) in it. Just ask Jesus, some people walk on that stuff.
