It’s Jesus & Mo’s 20th birthday sometimes around now. I don’t remember the exact date because it wasn’t originally in this format. Thanks to all our readers! If you want to give us a birthday present, the best thing you can do is became a patron here: https://www.patreon.com/jandm
I can’t remember, was it Bill Hicks or Lenny Bruce who did a routine about JC hating seeing the images of his torture and execution? Or another comic altogether?
And happy birthday, by the way. Long time reader / very occasional poster. Love your strip.
Congrats and many happy returns! Keep hangin’around, boys 🙂
Happy anniversary, author. Keep them coming.
And many happy returns.
An appropriate reissue.
It was Bill Hicks, in Revelations (naturally), “You think Jesus comes back, he’s gonna wanna see a cross?”
“It’s like going up to Jackie O with a rifle pendant, just thinking of John, Jackie!”
They like to keep it around, so if he really does come back, he won’t forget what happened last time he got out of line.
Remember it well – has it really been twenty years? I’m still a Patron, thought seldom posting now.
20 years? Really? Tempus Fugit and all that…
I’ll bet we’ve had the “Jesus never Existed” more than 20 times…🤣 and….the religious apologists have yet to provide a single shred of archeological evidence to back up the ludicrous hypothesis of a flesh and blood living Jesus h.s.u…
Thanks, kamimark
they say it is your birthday
a new rule has been found
that blasphemy is a thing
with which you oughtn’t mess around
but no, j & mo say
ftfo gfy
we’d never think of it
g’day
@M27Holts There’s no archaeological evidence for almost any figure from history. I’m not sure why you think Jesus should be a special case. I’m also not sure why you think that the idea of a cult (that made it to the big time) having a flesh and blood founder is ludicrous.
I think it is beyond reasonable doubt that Christianity had a founder and that Paul and the gospels are talking about that founder. Plenty of what they wrote, however, is indistinguishable from fiction.
Aye. I don’t trust any historical documents only history that has solid archological proofs. Most of the history you read is complete bunkum made up by someone or other with a dog in the race. Thus history is mostly made up bullshit. Get 1000 historians in a room and all 1000 would not agree on anything. If it can’t be proven with hard math it’s all bollocks.🤣
And the onus on christians and their apologists is to PROVE jebus lived as a flesh and blood h.s.u. archeological proof please…got none then he most probably never existed. And even if he did that h.s.u didn’t rise from the dead, cure leprosy or turn water into wine in 10 minutes…
M27Holts — It seems really, really, important to you to believe that Jesus never existed. Why? Is it important to believe that Joseph Smith never existed? L. Ron Hubbard? What would change if it were proven to you that Jesus did exist? Would you then feel compelled to become a Christian? My understanding is that the great majority of scholars (many of then nonbelievers) who have looked into the matter believe that there is almost certainly an actual person somewhere behind the stories. So? What would that change? Why do you care so much?
I’m grumpy about everything.that human stupidity comes up with. I did feel less grumpy yesterday after a 25k run…🤣
and Scholars???….every fookin one of tgem filled with physics-envy. Should use the sobriquet “Deck Chair shifters on the deck of the Titanic” rather than “Scholars”…
M27Holts at November 21, 2025 at 3:47 pm: “turn water into wine in 10 minutes”
Now, I’m not claiming to be Him, but I can turn beer into water pretty quickly.
Not an exact analogy to be sure.
Ah, it’s the reindeer fly agaric magic, I bet. Feed your reindeer a generous amount of this special mushroom, wait for a bit and collect their urine, and you’ve got some fancy “wine” there. Reports a participant: “There was an old eighty year old grandmother with us, and I fancied her, that’s how high I was. High as a bloody kite!” In that case the wine was reportedly boiled first, which might convert ibotenic acid into muscimol, or just clean up the parasites, don’t know.
Some authorities say this mushroom is not found in Israel. It’s sure more commonly associated with the north (Santa Claus was surely a Sami shaman, assisted by reindeer, flying around and entering huts through smoke holes), but its distribution is broad and there are a range of similar related mushrooms.
SHROOM SOUP is very dangerous children ..🤣
Rrr I’m not sure your urine could be passed off as a fine wine…🤣
M27: I did say “water” – of unpecified quality. Not wine!
Some claim all water on the planet is infinitely recycled. Others say every H2O molecule is frequently reassembled.
On a smaller than planetary scale recycling becomes a burden. Startup company Hydromars aims to address a market of spacefarers with their patented methods. As a small share owner I wish them success. Meanwhile I’ll stay on the ground and recycle only the containers; some with a reclaimable deposit.
Donn Cave, if you mean the kind of toadstool I think you do, we have some growing by the roadside here. Seems to be associated with birches (by mykorhizza?). Pretty things, decorative in red and white, but you’d be mad to consume them. Or become.
Called “flugsvamp”, said to have been used to poison flies in the stables.
Importantly, this body double is wrapped in loin cloth from toe to top.
Doubly secure from exposure.
But He (…) seems to be of a split personality. Me & I as different entities?
Bah. Humbug.
M27: I shall pass off my urine however I goddam please, thank you very much.
Not always wholly a pleasure btw. More like a calling. Call it old man’s curse for name calling.
“If anyone thinks that I amn’t divine
He’ll get no free drinks when I’m making the wine
But have to drink water and wish it were plain
That I make when the wine becomes water again.”
― James Joyce, Ulysses
Yes Rrr, those are they. Some with birches where I found them in Seattle, surely a mycorrhizal association. If the top is really red, not brown. I’ve tried it. At best, a nice stimulating effect, but overall not a big attraction – if you have enough that you are really for sure past the placebo effect, it gets less fun. Pharmacology is quite variable.
It’s why Santa Claus has that red suit, and (I’m told) there’s a classic video game character Super Mario who has a thing for them. Nicholas “Perry Bible Fellowship” Gurewitch made a nice “Mushroom Kingdom of Heaven” video you can find on youtube. Also some people claim the vikings used them to get cranked up for berserkr battle. And of course, claims for religious use – maybe the Soma of hindu mythology, “The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross”, etc.
We have 4 bins and I use the dish water to send my sausages to the seaside…I also have waterbuts on all my house downspouts to catch all that Manchester Rain….
Psychotropic drugs are a big problem for society. Use of such drugs especially during brain development periods is the major cause of mental illness. Also cannabis use is leading to people needing treatment for depression and paranoid shizophenia….
Abs of course I am including Ethanol , the biggest problem if you over indulge. I am on a fitness push at the moment and not drunk much alcohol for 10 months…I feel a lot better for it…
