Abstract

The text examines aspects of a mutation in narrative and graphic universes of visual humor, departing from comparisons between the canons of visual humor in daily comic strips, and new inflections encountered within this segment of genres of laughter. Examining cases such as Laerte Coutinho and Angeli, Fabio Moon and Gabriel Bá, and Chris Ware, the text identifies in such a corpus new narrative structures, aesthetic standards, and pragmatic regimes of humorous drawing.
