Please join me in welcoming to the “With the Band” cast, Jesus and Muhammad!
This story arc is an idea I’ve been sitting on for a long time now, just waiting for the right moment to use. Last week’s brutal murder of four cartoonists in France seemed to be the signal that it’s the right moment. This is my way of saying, “I am Charlie Hebdo.”
Out of respect for the Muslim belief that Muhammad should not be represented in visual images, I have decided that a cartoon Muhammad should be invisible. My decision has nothing to do with the fact that it also makes him way easier to draw. Really.
