Latest book…

- NICE T-SHIRT (Thank you for not provoking my uncontrollable lust). Currently unavailable.
I have read on the WashingtonPost (in the article about this award) that: “The religiously satiric “Jesus and Mo” — which the creator says depicts Jesus but not Mohammed, instead using a “body double” for the Islamic prophet”
Is this piece of satire too? Hilarious!
@stan
in one of the early cartoons mo says he is a body double
I prayed you’d win, Author.
I prayed to a stain on a cardboard box that bore an uncanny resemblance to a levitating, anthropomorphic, plate of cooked pasta.
Just shows you what the power of prayer can achieve, eh?
Wait – barmaid got a concession? They didn’t resist their own message?
I feel a little unsteady.
No, well done, YOU [author]! Congrats!!!
and well done, voters… take that, Dilbert.
At the risk of denigrating the accolade, I gotta’ point out that the runner up, “xkcd” consists largely of [lame] classroom doodles on graph paper…?.
Maybe I’m missing something.
…Consider it a sign that the award probably won’t result in a fatwa… Cheers!
Gong xi. Gong xi.
Congrats on the award! This strip is the best.
Way to argue like a religious fanatic, steal your opponents winning tactics.

Defines patronizing, bar maid my dear
Now perspicacious
is a bit pernicious
But the concept is sort of clear.
Congratulations on the award!
Ha! Ha!
@Keeyop. You are missing something. Look at XKCD from a few years back. There was some excellent work praising science in a surreal yet warm way
e.g. http://xkcd.com/21/
and examples of what R. Monroe can do artistically when he wants to
e.g. http://xkcd.com/7/
Give it a try
I would be interested in what you make of it.
Congratulations on the well-deserved win!
Congrats author! One thing for sure…there will be no shortage of good new material for you in 2011!
Well done author – much deserved
Felicitations author!
“Much to my surprise…”: You underestimate the power of prayer.
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us…
No religion? No Jesus and Mo?!#*! Hell No!
Congratulations on the well-deserved prize! Might I recommend a cartoon about the ridiculous Baroness Warsi at some point?
Utterly utterly brilliant, author! To come top is simply brilliant. Jesus’n’Mo will become internationally famous, like Google, and Scotland will become a very dangerous place.
Well done, and congratulations.
Weel done hamebuddy, a richt guid prize tae…
I take some pride in speaking patronisingly of believers. That’s what happens when all the evidence is on our side.
Jesus must not have full access to that omniscient skill His Dad is claimed to have. It’s almost as if he were nothing more than a prophet, just as Mo claimed, back in the day.
Congratulations, author! You leave the God-bothering tediousness of WaPo’s “On Faith” column in your dust!
Congratulations, Author. I am very pleased as I voted for you and got my godless husband and grandchildren to vote as well. One does not want one’s votes to be wasted.
I just clicked on the little man in the red circle in the bottom bar. Very interesting to see where you are being followed, Author. Go forth and spread enlightenment.
Congratulations!!!
it’s interesting and exciting how, by tiny steps, things seem to be changing, all thanks to efforts like yours, Author (and lots of other smart people who doesn’t just stay arms folded)…lets keep marching!!!
congratulations Author. You are the champion π
No surprise you’re Scottish. Greatest small country in the world.
Yours Aye
Nice feather in your cap, Senor Author! Oh, by the by, does the barmaid ever wear a cap?

Why be frightened of a group of people among whom a third want us converted or dead? Bunch of racists that we are..bla..bla..bla
Well, It’s taken me since Xmas to catch up from the first J&M, but it’s been well worth it. Fantastic site, with loads of really witty comments, although sometimes I have to read the strip twice to get it, or find the extra meanings. The comments are also very interesting and instructive, leading me to Google many new words and concepts.
Congratulations on a well-earned win – next year I’ll be voting for you as well!
@Author – Youβre the best readers ever.
I hope you’re not patronising us π
Yay!!
This particular J and M is a dead ringer for BioLogos. It’s been doing the “you patronizing tiny-minded people” all weekend.
Hey! Who’s this Mohammed Jones dude trying to take credit? π
Congrats Author!
I have to agree with Daoloth’s response to keeyop about xkcd. My first impulse in the riffy vote was to vote for xkcd, which IMO is pure genius.
(After much soul-searching, I voted for Jesus & Mo instead.)
@ Stan: Jesus is being played by a white guy.
