The Mohammed Cartoon Controversy


February 17, 2005                                                            << previous          article 14            next >>


Seems recently a certain cartoonist has been gobbling all the press attention, and I'll be honest and say I'm appalled it isn't myself. Some Caribbean cartoonist by the name of Cashew thinks he can just make comics about Mohammed the Prophet and live off the fat of his land forever? I'm not having that. This is the millenium of Laffy Taffs (TheDailyComic's original name) (((((((not really)))))))).

Mohammed the prophet
Contrary to Celtic lore,
Mohammed Ali didn't get
his name from killing
Mohammed the Prophet
I came up with the idea of doing a comic series about Mohammed years ago, but I never carried out the project for fear of God-nerds would sending me hate mail. Now that I know that I don't have to worry about that, I'm going to unleash the fury on you- Cashew. Don't blame me for ruining your career, blame me for not killing you and ending your pathelic life; I don't have the heart.

Here's just a sample of the comics to come...

Panel 1: Mohammed is in between Liz Phair and Meredith Brooks, they all have guitars and are strumming and sining along.
Panel 2: same scene as panel 1
Panel 3: They have finished their song. Liz, Meredith, and Mo' all have smiles on their faces.
Mohammed: "There is no power truer then girl power."

Panel 1: Mohammed and Kanye West on the stage of the Apollo
Kanye West: "Allah dosen't care about black people".
(The crowd is loud and doing that thing that black people do when they see Arsenio Hall.)
Penal 2: Mohammed's wings burst from out of his shoulder blades, angelic light beams down from heaven. He appears holy yet possessed. Kanye is shocked and broken down to the point of falling on the floor.
Panal 3: Mohammed (in mid-air): "White flight:-it ain't just for whites anymore!" (flies away)

panel 1: A guy with stylish, long, black hair whom seems to bear Asian characteristics sits in the park eating ramen at dawn, with Muhammad on the periphery.
Mohammed: "HEY! Are you eating?"
Panel 2: Asiatic man pays no attention to Muhammad.
Mohammed: "Cause it seems like its "ramendawn!"
Panel 3: Asiatic man: "Get the hell out of here Muhammad, nobody ever liked you."
Mohammed scratches his own head.

Panel 1: Mohammed is in the Jurassic Park and runs into Jesus Christ.
Mohammed: "what in the..."
Jesus: "How did..."
Panel 2: Mohammed and Jesus in a scene of confusion.
Jesus:"This is utterly anachronistic!"
Mohammed: "How is this possible?"
Panel 3: Jesus pats Mohammed on the back while kissing him on the mouth. Mohammed is blushing but is struggling to not enjoy it, an act the Islam practitioners call "Jihad".

Panel 1: Dick Cheney in hunting gear, Mohammed in the distance, heavily wounded after Cheney accidentally shot him.
Panel 2: Dick Cheney: "Oh Christ! I thought this man was a bird."
Panel 3: Dick Cheney: "A dumb ass fucking Muslim bird."

There will also be a Marmaduke parody where Muhammad eats a bird and looks real remorseful.
