Happy New Year!
If you’re stuck for a decent New Year’s resolution, why not pledge to support Jesus & Mo? They’d appreciate that. Beer and rent don’t pay for themselves.
Rewards abound!
This month’s raffle prize winner is Silvio in France, who gets a signed print of his choice.
is she laughing at them or with them? will they ever know?
Very nice joke within a joke. Jesus is a quick study.
[…] The new Jesus and Mo strip, called “much,” speaks for itself: […]
Good one, author. It would’ve been even better for Mo to be entirely clueless about his own hypocrisy. “But I’m never hypocritical!”
That is the solution
Pertaining to NewYears resolution
Other’s are always to blame
They’re simply insane
Not submitting to my perfect institution.
Some days I’m the barmaid …. some days I’m Mo.
.
Happy New Year …. to all my friends!
DC, your Western bias is showing. Not everybody celebrates the New Year on the 1st of January: -)
What Jesus needs is an irony meter.
I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Yrar, and to all the Americans, bloody good luck; you’re going to need it.
[…] The new Jesus and Mo strip, called “much,” speaks for itself: […]
AoS, as is well-known to long-term followers of the J&M strip, irony meters normally blow apart immediately on exposure to the remarks of either J or M, although not to remarks from the barmaid. (Her NY Resolution didn’t last long!)
My first laugh of the (Christian) year!
I love Jesus and Mo! After 2016, I needed a breath of fresh comedy. This covered it quite nicely. Thanks!
For some strange reason, my post timed at 8:11 pm was listed as “Anonymous”. It was sent by me, Son of Glenner. I am having other technical problems, some of the buttons on the bar below the strip are missing, but I find if I go back to the previous strip then forward to “last”, I can see the comments OK.
Is the C&B being sabotaged by trolls?
And ironically, somebody felt the need to explain to me why Jesus doesn’t have an irony meter.
SPOINNNNG.
Dammit, that was my last one!
Anonymous, you wouldn’t perchance be American, would you?
Ha. All three broke their resolution in the first conversation. Delightful.
My resolution is to rediscover my sense of humor. I think the American election last year did serious damage to it. Things that I thought were funny turned out to be anything but, and now I find I must recalibrate my entire world view. J & M helps a lot.
hahahahahaha
thank you, Author
Nassar may need his own blog, soon.
Technical problems seem to have been corrected. Hurrah!
AoS: How dare you accuse me of being American! I am Scottish.
Son of Glenner, my apologies; it was the apparent lack of understanding of irony in the way you explained irony meters to me, a regular at the C&B for eight years or so, that gave me to think ‘American’, a people not traditionally noted for an appreciation of the subtle art.
As a case in point I offer Alanis Morissette, the Canadian/American who wrote and sang a song listing various supposed ironic scenarios, the only genuine irony being that none of her examples were actually ironic in nature.
As another example I give you the American electorate who wanted a working class hero and elected Trump.
Well, AoS, I’d like to tell you that I was referring to our annual dim sum fest for the Chinese New Year …. unfortunately I was not and you are correct.
.
Just goes to show you…. some days I’m Mo.
ps …. don’t get Alanis pissed …. listen to her song ‘you oughta know’ for the epitome of the fury of a woman scorned
DC, I don’t need to listen to Alanis to know what a furious, scorned woman sounds like. I have daughters and for the best part of thirty years have been witness to dramas on a scale that make Ms. Morissette’s fury little more than a toddler’s temper tantrum by comparison.
Sorry to hear that AoS. Alanis comes across as pretty unhinged on that track …. worse than that would be quite unbearable I expect.
Don’t be sorry, DC, their furies were never directed at me, and I’d rather have them with fire in their bellies than being shrinking violets. In fact, I’ve often said that I’m afraid of no man on earth, but Mrs. o’S and the Misses o’S frighten the bejaysus out of me. Not because they’ve ever turned on me in anger, but simply because I’ve seen what they’re capable of when the gloves are off. I’m so proud of them all 🙂
Author, that is fantastic, triple punchline, my first belly laugh of 2017. Much appreciated!
My NY resolution is to start commenting on J & M 🙂 Good job, author!
Superb start to 2017 Author, thank you.
Barmaid only laughs when it’s funny.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Thanks Author.
RE: Irony meter.
You have to use an UNobtainiumy Meter — the iron ones are too weak.
But how does one obtain unobtanium?
I don’t know about the unobtainiumy, but in the USA a meter makes about three feet. I guess in Poetry it’s the other way around.
On the Isle of Man, three feet are on the flag.
Re unobtainium, see the movie Avatar. You still won’t know how to obtain unobtainium, but you may enjoy some of the beautiful CGI images in the film.
Wonderful :- )
Jesus has reminded me that I miss the irony meter! :_(
