Miki Muster (1925-2018), born Nikolaj Muster, was a Slovenian sculptor, illustrator, cartoonist, and animator. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Ljubljana, he became interested in animation after seeing Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Despite aspirations to join Disney, post-war political constraints kept him in Slovenia. Muster began his notable comic strip Zvitorepec in 1952 and later transitioned to freelance work after 1973, following a stint at Bavaria Film in Munich. His work, which often faced criticism under the Communist regime for being too Western, earned him numerous accolades, including the Prešeren Award and the Borut Meško Award.
