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

No way am I giving up drinking beer and eating pork. Never mind banging my head on the floor like a demented woodpecker…
I was wondering just what ‘substance’ the barmaid had dispensed to Moses in that tiny little glass. And then absented herself …
If you click on ‘jihad’ below the comic, you can compare J&Marvair v1 with current iteration. In this case, I kinda prefer Jesus’s old incredulous face.
Typo in panel 2: “TE” should be “THE”
Michael Roberts: I am guessing that anyone who would willi gly wander around the Sinai for decades likely drinks mescal.
Is panel 4
Mo angry
Mo with a sudden hangover
Or Mo’s brain launching
Here are some details I noticed in both the original and this one:
– Moses has chest hair.
– Moses’ staff makes it look like Mo has a tail. (Really, I think Mo should have a tail.)
Author, what color are Moses’ hair and beard meant to be? Since we see these in gray scale, I can’t tell. Blond? Ginger? Gray? And do the curtains match the rug?
What is strange is that the two fictional characters can be freely depicted but the one solid historical sap is under ridiculous man-made restrictions governing his depiction…
Moses’ hair/beard color? I see red.
Meanwhile, Jesus said, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but by Me.” Now, does Jesus get the nod for claiming exclusivity FIRST, or does Mo get it by trying to one-up Jesus later?
Personally, I think they’re both full of meadow muffins, but it’d be interesting to hear their thoughts.
Well the writer of the new testament said he did? Fictional nonsense the lot of it…
I would have to say Mo. The Abrahamic god is perennially dissatisfied with his subjects, and it’s easy to picture him saying,
“OK Gabriel, I tried begetting an earthly representative, and I don’t think that’s going to work a second time, but my people still need to shape up, so let’s go back to the prophet model. You go talk to Mo. You can make some promises, just don’t get carried away.”
