Oto Reisinger

Although an architect by profession, Oto’s main vocation in life was drawing. During his rich career, which lasted over half a century, in addition to primarily single panel cartoons, he also created comic books, portrait caricatures, book illustrations, scenography and animated movies. A humorist as quick on the tongue as he is with the pen.

The people of Zagreb remember him as a well-known and charismatic face of the city, who came up with his ideas every day, absorbing the city’s atmosphere by transferring them to paper, he gained world fame. His departure created a void that is impossible to fill, but the goal of the House of Cartoons is to make Oto’s spirit live forever.
