Is the Cock & Bull the only pub in their neighbourhood? And why do they seem to be the only customers? I find it hard to believe that their custom is enough to make the pub a going concern; perhaps I should try to believe harder.
Son of Glenner, Moses has been to the pub, so they’re not the only customers. I’m hoping they get visits there from Ganesh and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Surely the FSM could use a nice glass of Chianti? Sucked in through a noodely appendage?
It’s the perfect place to tell a cock and bull story.

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

Ah, that’s like governments who believe encryption should be totally secure and yet have back doors for the police by just: Nerd Harder.
This explains soooooooo much today. Nice job Author
And yet they keep on coming to the same pub!

Belief is as necessary to humans as oxygen. It is part of our nature and is a positive evolutionary trait. Imagine having to reason every decision.

Credo quia absurdum!
So they want to believe harder … which means that they are unwilling to examine their beliefs to see if they align with reality, which they don’t.
Seems to me there’s an adjective for that: “Deluded.”
Laripu: You forgot to mention the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
Oh, wait, maybe she does drop in but we can’t see her, being invisible as well as pink.
I think Thor and Joseph Smith have dropped in, but hardly count as regulars. Joseph Smith doesn’t drink anyway, does he?
How about Russell’s Teapot as one of the utensils in the bar?
Thanks Laripu, I’ve been visiting the Cock & Bull for perhaps a decade and I had never before got the name.
Have one on me.
When the going gets tough, the guff gets going.

Son of Glenner: This comic takes place in a magical realm where only deities can inhabit.
The barmaid is the avatar of the Author and hence the top deity of this place.
If that last panel isn’t t-shirt material, then god has forsaken us all.
