This research analyses Mauricio de Sousa´s cartoons under the semiotics´ view by analysing the myth as a communication tool of some ideology content. In order to carry on this analysis, it was necessary place the cartoons into the graphic design scope and understand the construction of the message uses not only image, but also text as building elements of the significance. By studying the so-called mythological characters from Mauricio de Sousa´s work - specially the cartoons from Chico Bento´s and Papa-Capim´s Gangs published in 2004 and 2005 -, the study realised that its flows through the cartoons by playing with others characters, in the same content, not just in metaphysic environment but taken place the human, like any other, into the narrative places that are the reference of the real. Therefore we can say that the environment or the Mauricio de Sousa´s cartoons narrative places, allow animals, objects, folkloric characters and even plants being represented like humans with anthropomorphic characteristic endowed with reason and personality being assimilated by the interlocutor imagination. This analysis, the research tried to discuss the images on the themes through the graphic design view point, bring together some questions on semiology about the myth - based upon, specially, Barthes´ concepts about the subject - by using the imaginary contents from Mauricio de Sousa´s work.
