Little Negro Bu-ci-bu (Template:Langx),[1] also mentioned as Buci-Bu,[2] was the first Slovene comic strip.[3] It was created by Milko Bambič and published in 1927 in the children's column of the monthly Naš glas (Our Voice) in Trieste.[4] It is a story about an arrogant and tyrannical black king that with his false wisdom leads his people to ruin[5] and commits suicide.[6] It caused a controversy, because it was seen as a parody on the Italian leader Mussolini,[6] and the author predicted his demise.[3] The Italian Fascist authorities forbade Bambič's works.[6] He escaped from Trieste to Yugoslavia to avoid arrest.[4]
