Oubapo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oubapo is an acronym for Ouvroir de Bande-dessinée Potentielle (Potential Comics Workshop). The term 'ouvroir', originally used in conjunction with works of charity, was reused by Raymond Queneau for a blend of 'ouvroir' and 'œuvre' ('work') and roughly corresponds to the English 'workshop'. The term 'potential' is used in the sense of that which is possible, or realisable if one follows certain rules.

Oubapo was founded in November 1992 in the Ou-X-Po and inside 'L'Association' French comics edition.
