was published in 1997; three more OuPus books were published between 2003–2005. In addition, the group held several exhibitions in Paris. In 2005, Trondheim and Menu had a falling out over the direction of the group, with Trondheim leaving the group in the fall of 2006. In 2007, another one of the founders quit after a disagreement with Menu. In 2008, founder Ciment (director of a French cultural center dedicated to comics) left after also arguing with Menu. In November 2010, an OuBaPo delegation went to Rennes to celebrate Oulipo's 50th anniversary. There, the OuBaPo members played Scroubabble before a live audience. Membership A very select group, there is no membership application to OuBaPo. Candidates are singled out and elected by unanimous acclimation of the existing members. The group's nine current members live in France, the United States, Spain, and Switzerland. American cartoonist Matt Madden is OuBaPo's "U.S. correspondent."
