"Hey! What are you guys doing?"

"What a foolish question!"

"As if there was anything else to do!"

"We're contemplating the fantastic show of life!"




The Cavern Clan - Plato's Cave Spoof by RalfTheRalfMan
Yup, a follow-up of that digital manip spoof on Mauricio de Sousa's creation The Cavern Clan, more exactly the story "As Sombras da Vida" which parodies Plato's Cave allegory, this here being the actual end of that story with a criticism on modern days. You can notice right away this story was written before the boom of smartphones, social networks and videogame industry. :D

Once again, the same logo of the most powerful TV channel and communications group of Brazil, digitally inputted replacing a random indecipherable spot on the TV screen in the original publication. Basically the same context of the previous thing. ;p Except, maybe, for the huge irony this would evoke: from 1987 to 2007 (the period in where this story were published), the Grupo Globo owned Mauricio de Sousa Produções, including the studio's animations which were broadcasted exclusively at that channel (some years lather they'd debut on Latin American Cartoon Network). Not only that, one of the leading programs on Globo is a variety and news show called "Fantástico", whose motto is "the show of life".
