Sergije Mironovic Golovcenko was born in Irkutsku in 1898. He showed an early talent for drawing and eventually took an apprenticeship in painting. From the 1920s, he was active as a caricaturist in Belgrado, publishing his first cartoon in the newspaper Vesele Novine. In 1924, he continued to study painting in Zagreb and began a collaboration with the Sunday section Koprive. He was one of the many pre-war satirists and also experimented with comics.
Strongly inspired by Wilhelm Busch, he created 'Maks i Maksic', a comic strip about two mischievous little boys that ran from 1925 to 1934. In addition to 'Maks i Maksic,' Mironovic has made two other comics: 'Dozvljaji misa Mike i majmuna Doke' ('The Life of Mickey the Mouse and monkey Djoka') for the Decj Vreme children's section of Vreme in 1932, and 'U Zooloskom vrtu' for Koprive in 1937.
