  7. “These days, we’ve got so much better stuff.”

    Oh, I don’t know…

    Could web ‘surfing’, IMing, and e-mailing with people all around the world possibly be more fun than watching the goat chewing the grass? I mean: Really!!

  9. Jesus Christ Almighty! What a farrago of typographicals this week turned out to be. Thanks to everyone who pointed them out.

    Honestly, you go away for a few days and everything goes to pot. I am very sorry. There will be a full inquiry into this. Heads will roll.

  12. Elmo you might prefer an xbox to frankincense but what about the gold/frankincense and myrrh bundle deal?
    Though let’s face it, it hangs heavily on how much gold.

  14. Well we could postulate as to which “pot” he is referring to. But the inspiration for this strip must come from somewhere.

  15. too bad that Mo doesn’t recogize that some of the important better stuff is critical thinking, scientific method and understanding of nature as natural

  17. Hey author…. looks like the Lord of Misrule has been interfering with the spelling while you’ve been camping. You could try sacrificing a goat to him.

    If I remember my Dennis Wheatley books correctly, this ritual is best carried out by an unfrocked Catholic priest within a magic pentacle, and it should be followed by an orgy.

  20. @ Daoloth – that is one of my many web haunts. Usually some pretty good stuff on that site….

  21. I am a Muslim and the reason why i am angry is this :
    This is NOT how Mohammed looks like.
    He looks like some ugly Indian.
    Since this is not offensive i dont mind , but at least
    tell the truth.
    He did not have an unibrow! In fact hes eyebrows were one of hes prettiest features.
    They should look a like because they are the same race.
    (Jesus was Syrian(pbuh) and Mohammed (pbuh)was a Meccan).
    And why this ridiculous tulband?
    The clothes should be the same – they come from the same culture.
    And why they should have an Iphone in the year 0?
    Japs did not exist at that time (at least we the Arabs and sandpeople did not find them)

  23. @ Ayame. He wears many costumes. I have recently seen his, rather fetching, teddy bear outfit, for example.

  25. @Ayame – This is not a depiction of Muhammed, this is merely a “stunt” double. ANd for any of us who have seen a “stunt” double in action often do not look anything like the person they are standing in for. Also it’s just a frickin cartoon….

  27. Aaahhh, better stuff. It may not be paradise but we really get to have it. Also, I heard that the new gizmo2.4(TM) is going to come with a decent paradise emulator.

  28. Ayame illustrates an interesting point about the trouble of depicting Mo: if he’s too ugly, or ethnically derivative of another brown tribe, or has shabby clothes, people will freak out that they aren’t honoring him enough.

    Would a turbaned, bearded Waleed Abdullah suffice, O Muslims? He’s cute and fit.
