Chick chaplain suspended
Teresa Darden Clapp, an ordained Christian minister and a chaplain in Rockland County, New York (my ancestral spawning grounds and current home to ComicMix columnist Denny O’Neill), was suspended for distributing Jack Chick’s religious comic books to the prisoners under her care.
The tracts refer to Muslims as idol-and devil-worshippers and portray the prophet Muhammad as a criminal and a "religious dictator."
This is not the first time Chick Publications has run into accusations of religious bigotry, having previously attacked Catholics, Jews, atheists and others in similar fashion in their sundry comics.

Maya found time to change into new, sexy, little battle tunic. Where'd she get that? She also has a new battle "HISSSS." It's Vipering Time!Fu clubs the leading Bandit off his horse and is about to mallet in his brain. The other bandits see this and react, "Aieee! Snake! Quick, kill it!" The snake looks to be at least ten feet away. It seems like a non sequitur, especially when Fu is poised with a mallet about to crush in the skull of their friend. Maybe this bandit knows how deadly White Viper Venom can be. Maybe he has ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes. Is the snake there at Maya's command? She talks to the snake. Does it listen? Can the snake understand her?By the way, was it the shock of seeing little Maya kill a bandit with a HISSSS and a death touch that stunned Fu, making him drop his mallet and allowing himself to get held hostage?And of the four bandits, Maya killed three of them with her "death touch"! If the villagers feared her for playing with wolves before, what are they going to think now!
