[…] The new Jesus and Mo strip, called “jokes,” features Moses; as the author notes, “It’s been a while since we’ve seen Moses’ wild-eyed visage. Let’s hope he doesn’t cause any trouble!” […]
Did the big J throw in a supplementary punchline there – “never get old” – referencing the fact that Moses lived to be 763? Nah, I’m probably looking for meaning where this is none. But just to be sure I’ll check out what The Bible Code has to say about it.
Referring back to last week’s strip – is it OK for Mo to hold his mobile phone (“cellphone” to our transatlantic brethren) in his left hand, given that the left hand is designated for dealing with faecal material?
Idea:
When Moses finally shows up, late of course, he should bring matzo and kosher sacramental wine. Then Jesus can anger Mo and Moses by turning the matzo and wine into his body and blood.
Since they’re in the UK, it must be Rakusen’s for the matzo. For the wine, Kedem Concord? It’s that bad enough? It ought to be something that would be improved by being turned into blood. 🙂

Well, TomTom being Dutch it is fitting that the Dutch have a saying:
“Met TomTom rij je om”;
meaning somethng like “TomTom guarantees a detour”.
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

Good. All the Abrahamic superstitions shacking up in the same bed!
Buddha and dozens of Hindu deities will be envious.
Moses might be in trouble – all the supermarkets have sold out of manna.

Forty days in the desert for Moses . . . and then there’ll be forty days at sea for Noah. Hmmm . . . .
Years, of course. D’oh!
Quine: great comment. How about this too: Dang, supermarkets have plenty of TP now but good luck finding any manna or honey!

I had a “divine guidance” sat nav, but it was rubbish, to many mis directions, binned it and bought a tomtom.
