Henfil was one of the most important cartoonists of Brazil. His vast body of work marked the period when the military dictatorship was in power. The present paper intends to infer the ideology that guided his drawings. Bearing this in mind, we conducted a brief history of Henfil’s political humor. We demonstrate how laughter can help initiate the fall of a political institution and be the creator of a new one. The methodology we adopted to examine the ideology of his cartoons was the semiotics of Greimas.Keywords: Henfil, caricature, humor
