First ever photo of Mohammed at the beach, Medina, c. 625

WOW. I am Hugely Scooped!

Our friend Stogie, a cartoonist and one of the finest writers I've ever read, reminded me that he did the first ever "Mo at the beach" back on:

Infidel-bloggers-alliance: Cartoon Contest on Mohammed


The bloggers at infidel-bloggers-alliance are having a cartoon contest for depictions of Mohammed. Now drawing Mohammed could get you killed because murder is one of the main pillars of that religious faith. Check them out at http://ibloga.blogspot.com/2006/02/infidel-bloggers-alliance-mohammed_04.html.

Cartoonists are asked to draw a non-incendiary picture of the prophet Mohammed, just doing everyday things like taking a walk, having a beer, watching the Super Bowl, etc. I drew one of Mo on a surfboard. Mo-Daddy ain't no Ho-Daddy. Anyway, my entry is below.

Stogie's account of walking past the Beemer house is one of the high points of my reading experience.

But, says me before I was scooped and reminded of it:

I was snooping around the sub-basement at the local archives today and to my complete amazement I saw a box of old vacation photos that came from Medina, Arabia. I took a peek, and there, lo and behold, was a shot of Mohammed at the beach with a couple of babes on each arm. They were stark raking nekked, so I cut them out and left Mohammed himself so as not to offend anyone; and here I present to the world the one and only prophet Mohammed in the photo'd flesh at the beach on vacation at Medina, c. 625 A.D.

Yes, you're right there. I might sometimes sort of make up stuff about my genius as an artiste, but reality, such as the government not seeing any religious motive in a vandal attack on the War Memorial, is beyond artistique.
