I've seen the joke on just Mo a number of times, but I haven't kept a count. Some of the strips go a bit too far for me to feel comfortable posting them.
Loved it. As someone who has taught several courses on the Apocalypse, I must say that "the Book of Revelations" is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

ReplyDeletesusan, I liked that, too, and the bit about the falcon.

ReplyDeletePaul, "Revelations" has the same effect on me.
