Ivica Astalos is a German cartoonist, comic artist and graphic artist with Yugoslav origins. After an apprenticeship at Rolf Kauka's Fix und Foxi, he began a collaboration for the German MAD in 1974. Astalos became one of the driving forces of the magazine, together with Herbert Feurerstein. They introduced new elements, such as the 'Großen MAD-Almanach'. Astalos was the only non-American artist whose work was published in MAD pocket paperback books. He also continued American sections in the German edition, such as Al Jaffee's fold-ins and 'Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions', and Don Martin's fairytale satires.
