Rocky - Martin Kellerman

Rocky was born after Martin Kellerman had been dumped by his girlfriend, lost his job as a gag cartoonist and was kicked out of his apartment. Kellerman then sat down and proceeded to make a comic strip about a dog with similar problems. Enormously successful in the Nordic countries and currently taking Europe by storm, Rocky is an international phenomenon that spans newspapers, comics, magazines, websites, book collections and a play (written and directed by Kellerman) that was sold out for over a year and is being adapted into an animated film.
