No where in this comic is it stated that it's Jesus. It's a guy who looks like the traditional Jesus, in a traditional Jesus situation, but it could be anybody who hung out with disciples that call him lord. Brian perhaps. A loophole for the mocking Christianity argument, this could be a religion that disappeared because it kept losing followers.

It wasn't until she was 40 or so that she realized it was for Easter.

I'm Jewish, and until people started mentioning it in the context of this comic, *I* didn't realize Easter was so close. It kind of sneaks up on me when it comes "a month too early."

Scott Adams just did an entire week of Dilbert about a character named Jesus (pronounced HAY-SOOS), and mentioned in yesterday's Dilbert Blog that it never occurred to him that they would be running around Easter time. His response to “Why don’t you mock Mohammed next? Huh? Why not?” is "Well, aside from the blindingly obvious reason that I prefer life over death, I didn’t realize I was making fun of Christianity" I think it’s interesting that Zach didn’t notice this was near Easter.
