Just asking because Rushdie's book is as bad as it gets when insulting the Quran. P.S: Not that I feel that it should not be insulted. Heck I'd insult the Faraway Tree too if people started calling Moonface the one true prophet of the one true god. Tons of books much ‘worse’ than The Satanic Verses has been published to no reaction

In the 90'ies a Danish painter (Jens-Jørgen Thorsen) drew a wall-mural, where Muhammed was depicted with a gigantic knob, and nobody reacted. Tons of books much 'worse' than The Satanic Verses has been published to no reaction. But then occassionally one story, one book, one cartoon just seems to ignite a certain section of muslims, it gains critical mass and all of a not-so-sudden, stuff starts blowing up.

But yes your right about no effigy-buring of the Author taking place till now. Maybe if he was Danish... I've voted for the comic too although the clear favourite seems to be XKCD. Oh, and I too have wondered why the Muslims haven’t gotten their knickers all in a twist about J&M.

In the end, I went for J&M because it almost always makes me laugh and I'm not "in" enough to get all the Cory Doctorow type jokes. I'd heard of G-G and, while it's an interesting concept, the couple I've seen didn't strike me as that great. The others, I hadn't heard of. My favorites (other than J&M & xkcd) are Basic Instructions and Questionable Content. Oh, and Shabot 6000. I like xkcd a lot too, so it was a tough choice.

Just exercised my democratic right and voted for J&M. Best of luck (you were in the lead just now). Cartoon series of the year. Single one-off cartoon of the year has to be Doonesbury of November 5th celebrating Obama's victory. (he was so sure of this happening he didn't even draw an alternative in case the old git and the gun-toting Nazi MILF won). Very timely toon on detox. Sense About Science published a report this week saying what a pile of shit this whole detox scam is. Check out the woo at: http://www.senseaboutscience.org.uk/index.php/site/project/14/ Also Ben Goldacre tore some detox quack to bits on Radio 4 on Monday morning over all the ridiculous claims these people make to scam money out of gullible morons who believe this drivel.

It will be interesting to see whether a cartoon depicting Mo will be allowed to run the distance or whether censorship will win instead. Either way, the strip will be vindicated. Deserves the win so much. I would love this strip to win the award – but will it be permitted to win?
