The Positives (Portuguese: Os Positivos), also known as P+, is a self-published Portuguese punk comic fanzine and webcomic series created by Valter de Matos, unfolding the daily life of Xavier and friends, but whose actions mostly serve as a proxy to the author's grim view on society, as the comics are known for their depressive and negative attitudes, militancy on animal rights issues and direct action, and their anarchist stance against modern civilization. From 2016 onwards The Positives started favoring editorial cartoons over comics while regularly publishing long texts in the intersection of media, popular culture, comics, and politics.
