The Cavern Clan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cavern Clan is a set of fictional characters created by Mauricio de Sousa and featured at the Monica's Gang comic strips. The Cavern Clan lives in the Stone Age, but their strips always features dinosaurs, which is anachronistic, as the dinosaurs were extinguished 65 million years ago. Most of the stories feature Piteco hunting dinosaurs, running away from Tooga, or even he and his friends fighting against other village’s people. Ironically, the characters would always refer to things which did not exist at that time yet, for example, if a character needs to walk a long distance, he or she would say “Too bad they didn’t invent the car yet, ‘cause otherwise I would go faster”.

[edit] Characters

  • Pitheco (Piteco)
Main article: Piteco
  • Hank (Bolota) – Pitheco’s best friend. He is always the one to give advice to Pitheco, when he finds himself in a difficult situation.
  • Tooga (Thuga) – Tooga is completely in love with Pitheco. Her biggest dream is to marry him. However, Pitheco completely disapproves her idea. Tooga sometimes uses brute force to marry him (like capturing him like he was an animal and taking him to the “church”), but Pitheco always manages to escape.
  • Zoom & Boom (Zum e Bum) – Twin thieves. They are homeless, but spend several nights at the local police prison. They love to steal the most valuable objects, but always end up with bare hands.
