Rocky (comics): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

''Rocky'' is a Swedish autobiographical [[Underground Comics|underground comic]] created by Martin Kellerman. Mostly autobiographical, it follows [[Author Avatar]] Rocky, a [[Funny Animal]] dog, and his slacker friends, as they deal with relationships and maturity (often the lack therof), hang out at bars and coffee houses and have unusual escapades and often-embarrassing [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex|one-night stands]] at music festivals and [[Hip Hop]] concerts. Artistic influences include Mats Jonsson, [[American Splendor (Comic Book)|Harvey Pekar]], [[Robert Crumb]] and Peter Bagge, and numerous [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]] to (usually American) rappers, TV shows and movies are sprinkled throughout the comics. As time time passed (and Kellerman got a substantially more stable life situation), the theme of the comic gradually shifted from booze-and-sex-fueled misadventures to [[Better Than It Sounds|coffee-fueled conversations about life, relationships and pop culture]].
