[…] Tirinha original publicada em 16 de fevereiro de 2006 Infelizmente, a piada desta tirinha foi perdida com a tradução.

I don’t think I get this one. “Wears the soap” doesn’t quite make sense as a statement, at least not in English. I take it the referenced joke, which I’ve never heard, goes something like: Where’s/wears the soap – it does, doesn’t it? A question taken unexpectedly as a statement, but it still doesn’t make much sense to me. Is there an implied, but unspoken, subject – “[It/your penis] wears the soap”? I guess that must be the joke, juvenile though it may be. I have trouble suspending my disbelief here, as no one would credibly say “Wears the soap” although they might certainly ask “Where’s the soap?” It stretches the point too much.
– Get it?
The version I heard as a child was about two nuns in the bath. One says “Where’s the soap?” and the other says “Yes its does, doesn’t it?”, referring to the abrasive effect of pubic hair on soap. HTH
Doesn’t make much sense in American English. “Wear” is something you normally do with clothing. “Wear out” is usually used to mean some sort of abrasion.
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

I didn’t understand
Clever.
U Bastard Jewish…!
Brilliant. Two jokes with the one punch line. Or does that make it three?
How could one better that?
