Sumario:This paper analyzes the work of Argentine cartoonist Pedro Mancini. To this end, it explores a selection of his works, seeking to highlight the different elements that construct what we refer to as the poetics of marginality. From the author's self-representation to the creation of an ultraworld, Mancini builds a fictional universe in which failure and exclusion take center stage. In contrast to the prevailing ethos, which promotes hyperproductivity, self-exploitation, success, and an overabundance of positivity, Mancini's work finds points of contact with the marginal and counter-hegemonic origins of graphic narratives.
