Many people might say “I’ll believe it when I see it”, but with Jesus and Mo
it’s a little different, and they express it as: “I’ll see it when I believe it”.
Happy whatever equinox it is, more or less……
The truth, an inconvienent invention
But marketable by those suffering from anal retention
Like green suckers sold to sheep
To buy them they leap
There’s one born every minute, I’ll mention.
It saddens me to bring news of the recent death of Christopher Hitchens. Whatever you think of his political affiliations, when it came to taking a stance against religious idiocy, the man was an inspiration.
A quote from Hitchens himself: βThe only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.β
Just been reading Hitch’s obits over on RD.net. Our side has lost a giant, but rest assured he’s left us fully armed.
God should thank his lucky stars that he’s non-existant, otherwise he’s be getting Hitch-slapped in person right about now.
Farewell Hitch, you will be missed but I for one thank you and will focus on what you gave us, rather than what you had left to do.
Shouldn’t Jesus and Mo be partying instead of wearing black? (Seriously, though, if there is to be any black in memory of Mr. Hitchens it should only be the lable of the Johnny Walker ue to toast him and all contrarians.) T_T / ^_^
At least you have a good sense of humour. That’s something to be grateful for in a cosmic tyrant. That guy from the Abrahamic religions really is a twisted sort when it comes to humour.
@DH, I’m hoping that one of The Hitch’s kids can follow in his footsteps. I’m already looking forward to seeing the headline…….”THE HITCH IS BACK”!
Now that’s a resurrection the faith-heads won’t be too keen on.
Just seen the 1st Hitch joke.
It’s been confirmed that Hitch underwent a deathbed confession. He called for a Catholic priest and converted him to atheism.
Being the dick I am, I got the 1st line wrong (curse you, morphine, ye can tek ma pain but ye canna tek ma brain!). It should of course read “….deathbed conversion”.
From my inner dyslexic, “May his soul have mercy on god”. Of course this could be difficult, since as far as I can tell neither one of them actually exists.
(Actually, that was a sexist remark, but I was just saying it ironically, Author. You know that, right? That’s a famous awful quote. I should’ve put the quote marks on!)
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

Love it! Especially the double meaning in the last sentence.
Donβt worry β we know that the barmaid is talking when the speech bubbles (or speech squares) point downwards!
Brilliant again. You sure are good at nailing jello to the wall.
I imagine Mo to be saying it like this in the third panel : http://croak.eu/sUoRHu π
I know sooooo many people who think and “debate” like that… True as hell π
Brilliant, as always.

THE BARMAID’S LAMENT
The difference between you and me,
Mo and Jesus, is quite plain to see:
You admit that you’re beat
By endless defeat
To one who strives to agree
I’m not even sure if the likes of Jesus and Mo mean the same thing by the word ‘truth’ as the likes of Barmaid.

Took me a while, but I’ve read all the comics since the beggining. Hilarious stuff!
@omsacras That’s quite a feat. Thanks!
So long, and thanks for all the Hitchslaps.

@FreeFox – They do what I tell them to do, and wear what I tell them to wear, whether they like it or not.
Hmm. Yet another cosmic tyrant.
At least you have a good sense of humour. That’s something to be grateful for in a cosmic tyrant. That guy from the Abrahamic religions really is a twisted sort when it comes to humour.
Christopher Hitchens is dead. Now it’s up to us. Yikes. That’s a hard act to follow for sure.
@DH, I’m hoping that one of The Hitch’s kids can follow in his footsteps. I’m already looking forward to seeing the headline…….”THE HITCH IS BACK”!

Just registered hitchisrisen.com. Any offers?
Did you hear about the memorial service – it went off without a hitch
