I am rather disturbed to read this comic. Rothschild is an historically Jewish name, and one which is closely tied to a belief that they, as bankers, have controlled significant world events. This may seem like a casual joke to you, but it ties into a long history of anti-Semitic accusations. The only thing more disturbing than the comic itself is how some of the commenters are trying to deny that the name has any connection to Jewish identity at all.
