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