Congratulations to Gail, who wins this month’s raffle prize – a signed a dedicated print of her choice.
If you enjoy Jesus & Mo, please think about becoming a Patron. Pledging dollar or two a month is all it takes to make the hell-bound blasphemer who draws this comic happy.
…displaying my modesty with pride…
Brilliant. I might steal that.
Did you mean “not” irresponsibly ?
Aargh! No I didn’t mean that. Thanks, Forse. Fixed now.
“Burked up to the eyeballs!” (I wanted to write that :-))
Haha. Isn’t “displaying my modesty with pride” an oxymoron? Possibly an ironic oxymoron.
Burka is related to the verb “to burk”?
Oh those punchlines, Author. Once again you nailed it. And after some delicious turns of phrase – “burked up to the eyeballs”, “displaying my modesty with pride”. I’d score this one a triple, eh.
Darwin,
you scored a Triple? Great, I will join you.Today mine will be Grimbergen, and yours if I may ask?
Cheers!
Wait a minute! Is Mo saying that J has provoked his uncontrollable lust? I guess a burka protects the beholder from lust, but not the wearer.
Dr. John the Wipper, I’m thinking Bells, after the serious work of the day is done. Cheers back atcha.
Mo as a snowflake! Oh, is THAT a laugh!
Dr. John, that got a laugh out of me!
I’ve been a home brewer for 30 years, and have made a number of tripels myself. Grimbergen is a nice one.
My latest, which will be bottle conditioned in three weeks, contains honey, dates, and the ancient grain kamut (along with more usual ingredients like malted barley and wheat). It has some (satiric) connection to the innkeeper/brewer/queen/goddess Kubaba. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubaba
Turning water into wine was a pretty good trick, but Kubaba actually and for real made beer.
I’ve not had that belgian beer. At 9% its fatally strong for a quick drinker like myself. All belgian beers are deceptively smooth and seemingly benign…but the gutter awaits those who try to.drink 5 pints…I had two friends who were belgian beer fans…both died ( 45 and 48) of pancreatic cancer so its probably dangerous to drink too much…
M27:
don’t know about that. I had quite more than a few (although not nearly as much as German and Austrian wheat beers) and at 68 they still taste fine!
Even though correlation does not demonstrate causation. The fact is that pancreatic cancer seems to kill a lot of alcoholics. Probably a coincidence but I know a lot of heavy drinkers who have outlived the two men in question…and both drank considerably more belgian ales than the other drinkers of my aquaintance….Mind you both men were also single all their lives too….
five ales a day gives you
scriptural theopathy
and the consequent ailment
peripheral neuropathy
