@jerry w: Right, the ham-and-cheese really is a missed opportunity. Not sure about the Mor(m)ons’ dietary idiosyncrasies, though.
Just had to give my Turkish students a textbook example that involved pigs – to honour the truth, they did not show any reaction. (Apparently, in Pakistan the mere mention of “pig” on TV led to widespread rioting a few years back…)
Great strip!!~ this is way funny~ I just love “wife collector”. @jerryw ~ i agree,
ham and cheese sandwich was a golden opportunity. Looks like J & M are going to have to get bigger bed soon.
@Stephen Turner ~ LOL ~ thanks, I must have missed that one! Will have to see if Moses shows up, after all he is the one who recommended Joe to J & M ~ then it could get REALLY cozy ne? Again, great strip!!!
Isn’t it hilarious when the blind are so confident they can lead the blind? See if you can get them to trade one form of idiocy for another, at least it’s a start lol.
Matt and Trey (2 of my real heroes unlike the rubbish I spouted above), the makers of South Park have made their first ever Broadway musical called ‘The Book of Mormon’.
I live in the UK but would so love to see it. If any of my fellow readers live in NY and would like to see Joseph Smith being mercilessly made fun of, please go to watch it and let us know what it’s like!
@jerry w: “A real test for Jesus and Mo would be if Joe asked for a ham and cheese sandwich, for god?s sake, that?s a poke in the eye of Kosher and Halal laws.”
Didn’t Jesus declare the dietary proscriptions of Leviticus obsolete with the invention of his new covenant? Meaning (as interpreted by the Pauline tradition, at least) that there is thereafter no distinction between clean and unclean foods for Christians, and their religion is no longer just a sect of Judaism but is open to gentiles too.
Guess that means it will always be Jesus’ turn to make the ham sandwiches!
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

Ah yes. Joe talks to angels. How do you know? Would a man who talks to angels tell a lie? The logic is impeccable. Great strip.
How does he read that…Oh! Never mind.
According to the old adage: It takes one (in this case: two) to know one.
It’s obvious that Joe LOVES Jesus and Mo equally. Afterall, he’s treating them the same way he treats his wives…….
A real test for Jesus and Mo would be if Joe asked for a ham and cheese sandwich, for god’s sake, that’s a poke in the eye of Kosher and Halal laws.
LOL @ wife collection

🙂 🙂
I’m agree with Jerry w and European.
Try to give Joe a ham sandwich ( lol)
Shouldn’t Mo have been the one to give Jim the foot bath? Just sayin’….
To be fair to Joe, that is Mo’s old Wife Collector magazine. The one with the special pre-teens bargain selection.
@kikainonakanoyuurei: we alteady know that the bed takes at least three, even though it doesn’t look it.

My in-laws are all LDS, so I’m getting special satisfaction out of the recent Hat-Face strips. Keep them coming Author!
@author, is Joe going to take off his hat sometime …
@Jaygr – here’s a great site I found for your in-laws:

Since Mo likes special clothes more than Jesus, maybe Mo should ask for some of the magic underwear
Joseph Smith is my hero!
