Rocky strip pulled from DN.se

The strip, published on Friday the 29th of October, was pulled by DN’s culture editor Björn Wiman after a number of complaints of it being anti-semitic.

In this particual strip, the main character Rocky mentions that his problems with women probably are caused by “the Jews at Bonniers”, and this statement upset several readers of DN. While this might have been unappropriate, the readers of Rocky also knows that the language in the comic strip is usually quite harsh and frank.

I have no idea if this was meant as an insult from Kellerman, but I highly doubt it. But living in Denmark also taught me that these kind of things are sensitive matters.
