I don’t understand what is supposed to be funny. It’s not in the dialog, and nothing in the final panel depicts anything I would consider humorous in the context. I checked two related comment threads for clues, but everyone seems to find it extremely funny (“crying with laughter”? Really?). It’s apparently something to do with the lines on his chin, which to me seem like dimples or something. Are dimples funny? To be honest these cartoons have never evoked more than a wry smile at best*, but I usually get the point.
Also belated thanks for posting the Ode to Joy flash mob video.
*Personally I find the J&M jokes to be all too true to life to be able to laugh at them, sort of like why I can’t laugh at candidates for POTUS.
What amuses me about it is the joke about how arbitrary and personal some of the supposedly “sacred” rules of Islam are. Oh yes, it’s sacredly Permitted for men to fuck girls of 9, because there was this one really hot little girl one time that Mo just didn’t want to wait around for. The beard is another one of those, but more facetious. It turns out that the sacred reason is just that Mo looks kind of gormless without it. Plus the face is just funny.
