Kilts in comics
The topic of kilts came up in a paintball-related comic strip yesterday:

I liked that.
Can't say as I have ever come across a kilt comic, but I do know they have made it into paintball. Many years ago my wife and I were the scholarship committee for our local St. Andrew's society, we gave a scholarship to a young piper with a compelling story. A few years later and my playing on a paintball team, I read in a magazine of a paintball battle reenactment with a piper and it was the young man we had given the scholarship to. I never got to meet him, but I did meet his brother who was a drummer and also got a later scholarship from our society. That was by chance at a fundraiser for a band he was playing in.
So sorry for the thread hijacking but kilt's & paintball have been mixing since at least the 1990's.

I remember a kilted Batman and Robin in an American comic book.
That was decades before paintball.
There were stories of kilted regiments in battles in the comics I used to buy - Hotspur, Victor and Valliant - I used to walk down to the town rather than catching the school bus and buy a comic at the news stand with the money. Lots of tales about pipers winning medals and kilted infantry frightening the Hun.
I blame being put into kilts when very young, myself. Brought on a tendency to climb trees, to run around shouting and to respond to being picked on with both fists.

I've done my weekly maintenance in an Pakastani-made acrylic kilt and a Utilikilt, no shirt, no socks, no veil, no smoke. I've had only one sting, but that was because the bee got caught in my belly flap and I bent over at the same time.

Even Desperate Dan was kilted at one time or another.

Wild Young Dirky.
The one I always remember was Wild Young Dirky in the Topper, mid 1950's. It always appealed as I had just got into wearing a kilt then. Probably learned more Scottish history from that than I did from school, which although Scottish, never went anywhere near Scottish history from that or any other period.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
