This is sublime– Where can I buy a framed print, I want this on my wall. Jesus on Mars featuring a Space Monkey! It takes the breath away.

My office couldn’t decide whether he’d discarded his helmet because it wasn’t conducive to having a halo or because he had risen from the dead… in which case it should probably have been Zombie Jesus on Mars??

Doesn’t look like Mars, more like Jesus in Switzerland.

Although that’s got to be the worlds least effective crucifixion. The cross is so short he’s just stood on the ground.
Anyway, where’d they find the wood on Mars?
Are there space pharisees to go with scuba monkey?
I’m space spartacus!

You see… even Jesus shaves his chest when on a sci fi cover!

Everyone who goes to Mars must have to take a spacesuited monkey with them. Remember when former Batman Adam West was ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS?

Jesus is all like, “‘Sup, Mars???”

@Mary – Jesus isn’t really a zombie. See, that whole rising from the dead eating living people thing is a Hollywood creation – which is a mix of course of vampire mythology and ghouls, the latter being 100% supernatural beings that hang out in graveyards eating the flesh of dead people (and only dead people despite what some tv shows would have you believe). Real zombies are living, breathing people who are controlled by a spell/potion. Best example of this is the movie White Zombie staring Bela Lugosi. With the whole rising from the dead thing, not to mention the stuff at the Last Supper with the “this is my blood”, Jesus’ rising from the dead more closely resembles the mythology of vampires.
So basically, the people of Mars and Captain Simian there need to check their old buddy Christ there for fangs.

Well, really, the story takes place UNDER Mars, and contains no monkeys whatsoever from what I can recall. Here Jesus is almost certainly an alien from the depths of space who has been leading a small colony of humans in a martian cave for the last 2000 years. It’s interesting examination of what Christianity had stayed the slightly reformed version of Judaism suggested by Jesus’ teachings. Worth reading again.

And is it me or does Jesus resemble one of the Bee Gees?

Jesus, a Martian, and a space monkey walk into a bar…

So we’ve found a face on mars, but where’s the giant coming in for a massive facepalm after this travesty.

I meant to say “giant hand” but I didn’t see an edit button

Smith asked:
“And is it me or does Jesus resemble one of the Bee Gees?”
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need to know…
’cause we’re living on a Mars of fools
breaking us down…
August 24th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
BeeGees? No.
Mr Edwards from LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE? Perhaps.

I think Jesus flew on a space ship to get to Mars and the monkey was his pilot. Jesus brought flowers and gifts a gesture of goodwill for the Martians. He even brought his own cross to show them what he had to go through on Earth. But once he got on the surface he was like “Hey, where is everybody?”

Couldn’t Mars Jesus just make it so that the monkey could breathe without the tiny helmet. Or perhaps even Mars Jesus is not immune to the undeniable cuteness of said tiny helmet.

Jesus on Mars turns sublimated carbon dioxide into vacuum-sealed packets of wine.
Jesus on Mars asked us to consider the lilies of Valles Marineris.
Jesus on Mars died on the cross for our sins, and rose 73.8 hours later.
Jesus way cool. Jesus on Mars was about -90°.

Still waiting for PJF to give us Jesus on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

“Jesus on Mars!” is a handy phrase if you’re looking to add to your swearing vocabulary.

It’ll have to go a long way to be as off as that bit in the Rock Hudson ‘Martian Chronicles’ mini-series where Roddy McDowell hallucinates Jerry Cornelius with stigmata.

I declare this cover to be Richard Burton worthy.

Jesus: ‘Lovely monkey…lovely monkey…right there on the cross, eh? Lovely monkey. Now, watch closely…nothing in the sleeve…nothing in the other sleeve…and…hallelujah! Monkey in space clothes!’
Voice from the back: ‘He hid ’em up between his cheeks!’
Jesus: ‘This show is OVER!’

Those are some fancy robes. They look more like window curtains. Jesus could use a valance across his chest.

That awkward moment when your girlfriend walks in you wearing her nightgown and playing with a space monkey.
April 14th, 2017 at 3:48 pm
@JuanPaul — Ha Ha Ha 🙂
Jesus needn’t worry. His French girlfriend is pretty chill.

“Get your mass to Mars!”

@biblio I’m liking gender-fluid Jesus. Always thought he was a little unspecific.
April 15th, 2017 at 4:02 am
@B’mancer: reminds me of the old Carol Burnett sketch where she had the dress made out of curtains, with curtain rod still in it. He’s not actually on a cross, that’s just the beam the curtains were hanging on.
Still no explanation for Space Monkey.
April 17th, 2017 at 2:57 am
@gssxn space monkey needs no explanation.
January 4th, 2024 at 5:36 pm
Poor bastard. He’ll miss BARRY MANILOW IN THE U.K..

Perhaps that _is_ the Robinson Crusoe monkey. Space Jesus freed the Space Slaves and sent the astronaut back to Earth, but the monkey decided to stay.
@fred: Space Jesus is just going to stream that sucker.
January 5th, 2024 at 4:28 am
@Bruce: Space Jesus has probably seen it already, what with the divinity and all. He’s seen everything.
The monkey’s probably happy to have a friend in Jesus. 🎶
