Abstract

Oubapo (“Ouvroir de Bande dessinée Potentielle”) is a French acronym for a group of authors producing constrained comics, similar to the Oulipo. The group’s works develop more reflexive uses of the medium and generate a playful and critical metalanguage. In this article, I will show how the use of constraints allows the development of a certain theory and pedagogy of comics, taking as examples the work of Brazilian authors who testify to the effect of oubapian constraints.
