Abstract

The article discusses the imaginary meanings of humor in the comic A History of Love, awarded at Piracicaba's 19th Humor Hall, by Conceição Cahú, who, like other authors, have been forgotten among researchers and are disregarded as pioneers in sequential graphical representations with a peculiar way of constructing humor and its reflection in the daily life of society. Conceição Cahú presents in his work a humor based on social empowerment, sexuality and his own biography, with an aesthetic narrative that resonates between artists of the most varied genres. Our hypothesis is that Conceição Cahú points out in a humorous discourse with naive, grotesque traits and with constant counterpoint dialogue with the female stereotypes created by male authors. We present an introduction to the author, social context of which develops as a comic book and the creative legacy for comic books.
