Could web ‘surfing’, IMing, and e-mailing with people all around the world possibly be more fun than watching the goat chewing the grass? I mean: Really!!
Elmo you might prefer an xbox to frankincense but what about the gold/frankincense and myrrh bundle deal?
Though let’s face it, it hangs heavily on how much gold.
too bad that Mo doesn’t recogize that some of the important better stuff is critical thinking, scientific method and understanding of nature as natural
Hey author…. looks like the Lord of Misrule has been interfering with the spelling while you’ve been camping. You could try sacrificing a goat to him.
If I remember my Dennis Wheatley books correctly, this ritual is best carried out by an unfrocked Catholic priest within a magic pentacle, and it should be followed by an orgy.
I am a Muslim and the reason why i am angry is this :
This is NOT how Mohammed looks like.
He looks like some ugly Indian.
Since this is not offensive i dont mind , but at least
tell the truth.
He did not have an unibrow! In fact hes eyebrows were one of hes prettiest features.
They should look a like because they are the same race.
(Jesus was Syrian(pbuh) and Mohammed (pbuh)was a Meccan).
And why this ridiculous tulband?
The clothes should be the same – they come from the same culture.
And why they should have an Iphone in the year 0?
Japs did not exist at that time (at least we the Arabs and sandpeople did not find them)
@Ayame – This is not a depiction of Muhammed, this is merely a “stunt” double. ANd for any of us who have seen a “stunt” double in action often do not look anything like the person they are standing in for. Also it’s just a frickin cartoon….
Aaahhh, better stuff. It may not be paradise but we really get to have it. Also, I heard that the new gizmo2.4(TM) is going to come with a decent paradise emulator.
Ayame illustrates an interesting point about the trouble of depicting Mo: if he’s too ugly, or ethnically derivative of another brown tribe, or has shabby clothes, people will freak out that they aren’t honoring him enough.
Would a turbaned, bearded Waleed Abdullah suffice, O Muslims? He’s cute and fit.
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

“Surely you agree that is a stEp forward”?
Nah! Spell checks are one example of stuff that is not better 🙂
How about “pining” rather than “pinning”?
Personally, I am concerned about the asylum seekers who eat hamsters.

Ah, yes. That makes more sense. I thought asylum seekers were eating someone’s hams.
Yeah, I’d rather have an Xbox than some frankincense. Just speaking for myself.
“These days, we’ve got so much better stuff.”
Oh, I don’t know…
Could web ‘surfing’, IMing, and e-mailing with people all around the world possibly be more fun than watching the goat chewing the grass? I mean: Really!!
Sach,
If you are not quite where you want to be, then you have to wait, until the bus “is a stop forward” of where it is, now!
Jesus Christ Almighty! What a farrago of typographicals this week turned out to be. Thanks to everyone who pointed them out.
Honestly, you go away for a few days and everything goes to pot. I am very sorry. There will be a full inquiry into this. Heads will roll.
Or at least eyes!
so true!

I do hope the author isn’t getting too p***ed on.
Well we could postulate as to which “pot” he is referring to. But the inspiration for this strip must come from somewhere.
too bad that Mo doesn’t recogize that some of the important better stuff is critical thinking, scientific method and understanding of nature as natural
I don’t mind gold, but if I had some, I’d just use it to buy another Xbox. So, yeah.

@Stephen Turner – you really think I haven’t already tried that?
This interested me, and would probably interest at least some JaMers. It cuts to the heart of what we enjoy and why we fall out:

@ Daoloth – that is one of my many web haunts. Usually some pretty good stuff on that site….

That seems like a pretty silly thing to get angry about, Ayame.
@ Ayame. He wears many costumes. I have recently seen his, rather fetching, teddy bear outfit, for example.
@Ayame
Maybe you could do a drawing of what Mohammed looks like …
@Ayame – This is not a depiction of Muhammed, this is merely a “stunt” double. ANd for any of us who have seen a “stunt” double in action often do not look anything like the person they are standing in for. Also it’s just a frickin cartoon….
