The Cavern Clan

The Cavern Clan

"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”.

Characters

* "Pitheco" "(Piteco)" - His whole name is Pithecanthropus Erectus da SilvaFact|date=June 2008, and he lives at the fictional Lem Village. He is always hunting dinosaurs and fishing, many times without results. He has many enemies, but he fears primarly Tooga, who wants to marry him against his will. In most of the early stories, Piteco found Horácio (another character, a small philosophical T-rex) in his egg, but he troubled Lem and was forced to leave.
* "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 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, in prison.
