''Jesus and Mo'' is a British webcomic created by an artist using the pseudonym Mohammed Jones. Launched in November 2005, the comic is published on its eponymous website twice a week. ==Set-up== The comic is simply drawn, typically using a single image for each face, each of which is duplicated for each panel in the strip. It features two present day religious prophets, Jesus and Mo. While Jesus is portrayed as the actual Christian figure, ''Mo'' claims to be a body double,〔Jesus and Mo (24 November 2005 body )〕 using casuistry to oppose the restriction of Islam in representing the Islamic prophet Muhammad pictorially. Jesus and Mo share a flat〔Jesus and Mo (23 March 2006 mess )〕 (and a bed), and occasionally venture outside, principally to a public house, ''The Cock and Bull'', where they drink Guinness and engage in conversation and debate with an atheist female bar attendant known simply as Barmaid, who is never drawn〔Jesus and Mo (8 February 2006 baby )〕 but is characterised only as an out of frame speech bubble. The barmaid functions as the voice of reason when criticising the Abrahamic religions or religion in general. Other times, Jesus or Mo may act as the voice of reason depending on which religion a particular comic aims to criticise. Jesus will act as the author's mouthpiece if the comic aims to criticise Islam while the character Mo will be used to criticise Christianity. They also converse with each other on a park bench.〔Jesus and Mo (14 July 2006 slow )〕 A fourth character, Moses, another Abrahamic prophet, appears in a few strips. The Hindu god Ganesh made a one-time appearance; both Jesus and Mo mocked his depicted weight and four arms. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, has also appeared. His face is hidden by a hat, a reference to Smith supposedly reading seeing stones by putting them inside a stovepipe hat and sticking his face inside. In the comic for 24 September 2008, the author used animation (blinking eyes) in the final panel.〔Jesus and Mo (24 September 2008 Cult )〕 Starting with the strip released on 10 November 2009, both of the principal figures were redrawn in a somewhat cleaner style.〔Jesus and Mo (10 November 2009 Role ); see in particular the author's comment (on the change in style ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus and Mo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
