Easter is allegedly comes in the spring
The bunny, eggs, does bring
This year the anthropogenic wizards
Didn’t see the seasonal blizzards
While odes to carbon taxes they bleat and they sing.
Right. Let’s celebrate fertility. Send the kids off into the woods to have sex. I look forward to a few more grand kids.
On a personal note, tomorrow I’m two weeks post-op from a TKR (that’s Total Knee Replacement in Scientology speak. They do love their acronyms.) I’m walking on it without a cane. We are living in an age of marvels. Not miracles, but marvels none the less for being understandable and explainable.
Happy Easter, mates. Cheers.
All these years and you still can’t figure out how to make the cartoon fit nicely in a Twitbook post when sharing! happy Killthebabyjesus day for tomorrow, anyway
Jojo, thanks for asking. I can’t tell from the outside, but I think they replaced my knee with titanium and Teflon. Whatever is in there is working very well and I’m told it’s good for fifteen to twenty years.
I live in Canada, so an operation that would have cost 45 to 90K in the Untied States cost me just the price of the pain killers. Don’t know what’s wrong with those Mericans, but I’m sure happy with our health care system.
As an April Fools Day gag, I added a grease nipple and posted a picture of the incision. Nobody got the joke.
Us Untied Murkins don’t have a universal health care system. But we do have a health care hodgepodge and and a universal system of Congressional grift. That should count for something.
It might just be Faux News, but several people have told me that our insurance companies won’t pay for a joint replacement after age 75. Because if you don’t live another 15 – 20 years the insurance company would not have gotten their moneys worth.

The spring fertility rites should always be held on Friday. But there’s a culture war going on, friends, a War on the True Meaning of Easter. The Xians are trying to change it into their celebration of a bizarre ritualized torture. You ask why? Because they hate the rebirth of spring, for they are a Death Cult. For proof we need look no further than the instrument of torture and death they worship as they main symbol of their faith – the cross.
DH, congrats on the new knee. How soon do you start playing football? (Any code will do although, as someone from the southern reaches of Australia, there is really only one that matters, colloquially known as ‘aerial pingpong’ by supporters of lesser forms of chasing a pigskin).
Hope everyone had a great Easter. I’m all in favour of any religious festival which involves worshipping chocolate.
Mary2, thanks. Foosball maybe (you know, the kind that’s played on a table with those twirly figures), but I think football will be out of the question for a year or two. Especially if I have to have the other knee done as well.
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

What Neil Gaiman?
Jesus bumps against his cognitive dissonance.
Or against his near death experience trauma?
And then he saw his shadow and we had six more weeks of winter
Just think, those young people are now themselves complaining about young people so busy texting they’ve forgotten the glories of twitbook.

Not so fast, Mo–Ostara is an alternate spelling of Eostre, and Ostara certainly has devotees today. See https://www.facebook.com/ostaramusic/
Happy cruciversary, J! I plan to celebrate by enjoying some theobromos (a.k.a. chocolate). ๐

While we’re at it, let’s keep the Thor in Thursday.
Keep Mars in Tuesday
and Woden, in Wednesday,
Keep Thor in Thursday
and Freya in Friday
Saturn on Saturday
the Sun on Sunday
and the Moon on Monday

Sorry to hear about the knee replacement, DH. What did they replace it with? We have the NHS here, and it’s usually best to ask…
Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
Where last year’s drunken drivers is.

D.H.,
So, nipples on your knees eh? I can only guess where it goes from there, but I’ve got a feeling that it’s going to be interesting.
For those who are curious…

DH, is it a reference to this: http://oz.wikia.com/wiki/Slide_Some_Oil_To_Me ?
When I read that you new knee is made of titanium and Teflon, I thoughth of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLs0V8T5AA
Congratulations on being cane-free! Here’s hoping you’ll soon be pain-free, too.

Off to physio now. Enjoy that chocolate bunny.
