What they're saying...
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
...a philosophical confrère.
Jerry Coyne
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
...wonderfully brilliant and witty.
Miranda Celeste Hale
Too good for words.
Maryam Namazie
The Eric and Ernie of monotheism.
Tom Holland
The most impious double act since Sodom and Gomorrah.
Andrew Copson, Chief Executive, BHA
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
Jesus & Mo is my go to example of how to do tasteful, beautiful religious satire.
Eiynah, Polite Conversations
...humor is humor and this cartoonist doesn't have it. Karl Giberson

I deny all existing religion…
so did Mohammed 😀
Yes. Presumably not a fact that sits well with Muslims with any sense of morality in the 21st century.
The more muslims insist that their beloved Mo was perfect, the more people will understand they are full of scrap
“I call for the slaughter of unbelievers”*
So did Mohammed.
* Koran 2, 191; 2,193; 4, 76; 5,82; 9,5; 47,4
“I recommend the beating of disobedient females”*
So did Mohammed
*Koran 4,34
“I think the earth is flat”*
So did Mohammed.
*Koran 84, 1-4
Say.. this is fun! Thanks author.
heheh i want mullah krekar out of Norway.
Maybe Mohammed want him???
It’d make an amazing set of tshirt slogans.
The source for the ads: “taxpayer-funded Muslim organisations” – why is tax money wasted like this? Sorry I even asked.
Nice one, Author!
Jesus’ family values were to hang out in an all male gang and tell people that they had to leave their birth families
@daoloth – fun indeed…I’ll have to play
@nina – rouge male killer whales name the whole species. Silly boys. There should laws forbidding the gathering of more than 4 men where a woman must be present toting veto powers. p.s. Love your stuff!
@author – boffed? lol great work dude. You are fuckerless.
“I can’t read”
Nor could Mohammed
“I humiliate non-believers and call it tolerance”
So did Mohammed
@MrGronk – in a Sesame Street setting no less
I kill people who criticize Islam. So did Mohammad.
Easy Peasy.
If it was a boy tot, I would have suggested that he was actualy a Catholic Priest in disguise…
…and the ultimate sin! Jesus uses a mac!!!!!! ARRGHHHH!
I-slam I-mac… apple… snake… it’s coming together.
Nice one yet again, author.
@ Nassar Ben Houdja
Coincidence or Conspiracy? Hmm.
I use a Mac, so it seems did (or still does) HeyZeus.
I hate teh Jews.
So did Mohammed.
I love the wonderful lack of self awareness that allows these people to come up with this stuff while being totally oblivious to the way that others will react. The UKs chief RC Bish has come out and said that he does not want anyone blowing vuvuzelas at the Pope when he makes his highly expensive and unwelcome visit in September. Up until now the anti-Pope people have been at a loss as to how to frame their protest, knowing that they will not be allowed close enough to pelt him with connies and that the Pope-mobile is equipped with bullet-proof glass. Vince Nichols then hands us vuvuzeas on a plate.
Quick, get some made up with atheist slogans and… profit.
Loudly.
@Stoneyground
I’d be tempted to bombard the evil old goat with prerecorded sounds of distressed children … but that would probably give him an erection
I don’t hate Jews.
Neither did Mohammed. He worshipped their god and considered Jesus and himself to be prophets of their god. Some of his wives were the daughters of important Jewish leaders.
Was that an attempt at creating satire? Seems pretty racist on the surface.
I believe Islam is a political project. So did Mohammed.
JohnnieCanuck: Oh, you needn’t worry about our gal Ophelia. The tongue in her cheek is quite sharp. As Poor Richard says, “Check out her web site.”
Stonyground
what about getting ahead of the parade route and sprinkling condoms all over the road
I hate Jews at least some of the time
So did Mohammed
[Muhammad said:] “The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.”
Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985 (ok, not the Koran- but hey, still inspired by ol’ Mo!)
I advocate female genital mutilation*
So did Mohammed

@Daoloth
Islam’s apologists like to claim that Muslims aren’t antisemites in the traditional western sense, but “merely” hold Jews in contempt. Like that’s somehow OK. Of course, when somebody you traditionally, casually despise suddenly rounds up and punches you back, your response is likely to be an epic hissy-fit. Regardless of the specific rights and wrongs in Israel/Palestine, I can’t help but think that Muslim attitudes to Israel are aggravated by 60 years of indignation that “mere” Jews should be pushing Muslims around.
[…] just lay off the jokes right now. Not that I can’t take one. I’m not like some deities I could name; it’s just there are some things that are okay to joke about and some things that […]
