There’s a double-feature Jesus and Mo strip. First, the regular one, called “hide“, in which Mo decides to change his gender—but only to a limited extent:
And the J&M author notes some flattering imitation at The Atheist Pig: a strip called “Pig in a Blanket” (if you’re not American, you may not know the comestible called “pigs in blankets“).
I wouldn’t normally ask this, but the last panel and the laws of physics compel me to ask:
Does “Trump” mean the same thing in American English as it does in British English?
(It was a fairly retro term even when I was a bairn, but it’s still around).
In the U.S. it can mean to supersede or to outrank.
Not “fart” then?

You’re thinking of “drumpf”.
Not in British English!

Well, in the US, “trump” does refer to the sound a trumpet makes, which is also a result of the vibration of flabby flesh.
In a word, no. Interesting! I wonder if the Donald knows of this? 😀
Srsly? It doesn’t mean “fart” in EN_US?
Wow. I actually have to remove one point from the list of “Donald Trump’s pig-headed refusals to face reality.”
Damn, I need a crane barge to get to the bottom of the list.
‘Trumpery’ means the same in all dialects though, doesn’t it?
I went through my ‘pigs in a blanket’ phase while living frugally during grad school.
I’ve had them only as one of the trimmings for Christmas turkey (or turducken).

To quoth the Wife (SWMBO) on grabbing a pig in a blanket shortly after arriving in the UK for the first time, as a snack when I stopped to fuel the car on the way back from the airport, “this is not sausage.”
Indeed, EN_GB does attach the word to … mixtures … which would not be called “sausage”, or any sane translation thereof, in other languages.
I hear the Polish Shop calling, for me to prepare my travelling food!
Bernard: “[Europe] can’t stop us eating the British sausage, can they?”
Hacker: “No, but they can stop us calling it a sausage. Apparently it’s got to be called the Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tube.”
Bernard: “And you swallowed it?”
I stopped eating British chocolate-flavoured vegetable and dairy fat emulsion years ago. Because I discovered Belgian chocolate. Chocolate-flavoured fat cannot compete.
Pigs in a blanket here (to my family at least) meant sausages in a pan of Yorkshire pudding with gravy.
Surely that’s toad in the hole?

Do it with “beefburgers” : “toad in the road”.
Mo: “Why should I always have to be the man?”
Reminds me of a line from ‘Third Rock from the Sun’ where the warrior-like alien Sally asked “Why did I have to be the woman?”
“Because you lost!”

Too true.
