Blimey...
There was also a story in Viz about Orangemen years ago, and their penchant for tight fitting bowler hats.

Unlike the lovable jolly craicsters in the residents committees obviously or the misguided warrior poets who've been systematically burning Orange Halls round Northern Ireland.

Listen, I was parodying the Orange Order character- I'm unaware of such other comic characters. I posted it because it's the reality of the bile that is being perptuated by marketing it to children. If that hurts, then maybe it is a bit close to the truth. It in no way condones 'the other side'. If you feel so strongly- why don't you do one?
This is a comics thread, on a comics forum, and the point put forward is that this kind of hatred (by any group) has no place being marketed at children, in comics.
I don't believe in god, so I couldn't give a bollocks about the whole protestant/ catholic religious debate. It concerns me, just as it would if the BNP released a comic aimed at kids as well. It's about hatred based on belief.
