SPFW N58 :: Maurício de Sousa: a vida e a história interpretadas por Rafael Caetano

Por Arlindo Grund e Lari Mariano Para muito além da infância, a vida, a história e a representatividade de Maurício de Sousa, que no próximo ano completa 90 anos, foram homenageadas na passarela de Rafael Caetano. A coleção é pensada com maturidade e também irreverência, se olhamos para uma alfaiataria que tem referência muito direta do street style. Mas os ícones de Maurício não poderiam…

QUE

Hello Mr Neil.

I have this picture of you and Maurício de Souza in my phone for quite a while, today I showed my friend and she didn't believe me it was actually you

As a brazilian he's a big part of my childhood and his histories helped me learn to read, it would make me really happy that you have met him, so I would like to know if this picture is true

It is absolutely true, yes. (Although I don't remember if it's from 1998 or 2002. But someone in the notes will know.)

THE COMICS OF MAURÍCIO DE SOUZA AND ROMANCE

@themousefromfantasyland @the-blue-fairie @thealmightyemprex @piterelizabethdevries @amalthea9 @barbossas-wench @tamisdava2 @princesssarisa

Monica's Gang (Turma da Mônica in Portuguese), also known as Monica and Friends, is an ongoing Brazilian comic book series, created by Mauricio de Sousa.

The series was originally based on a newspaper comic strip in which the protagonists were Blu (Bidu) and Franklin (Franjinha), launched by the newspaper Folha da Manhã in 1959. Over the years the series has been gaining a large audience, with new characters constantly being added to the lineup. Jimmy Five (Cebolinha) and Monica (Mônica) were eventually given their own comic books, hence the title "Monica's Gang." The characters and comics were eventually adapted into films, video games, TV shows, theme parks and a wide range of products.

The stories revolve around the adventures of Monica and her many friends in the fictional neighborhood of "Limoeiro" in São Paulo. The neighborhood was inspired by the neighborhood of Cambuí, in Campinas and the city of Mogi das Cruzes, where de Sousa spent his childhood. However, the comic books do not simply revolve around the stories of Monica and her friends.

The Monica's Gang series has an extensive amount of main and secondary characters. It has as main protagonists Monica, Jimmy Five, Smudge, Maggy and Chuck Billy (the latter derived from Chuck Billy 'n' Folks) and each has its own comic.

Other characters from other series created by Mauricio de Sousa are also included on Monica's, making crossovers or quotations from each other in several stories,among several other characters. The main setting of the stories is the fictional neighborhood of "Limoeiro" in São Paulo.

Most stories focus on the daily lives of the main characters and occasionally on the secondary characters; the humour usually uses various types of repetitions, allusions, appeals to the nonsense, paranomasias, sarcasm and metalanguage. The stories with Monica and Jimmy Five revolve around the conflict between the two. Jimmy Five is a troublemaker

who always tries to scold Monica or steal her stuffed bunny to give knots in its ears (usually having Smudge or another boy accomplice), always having Monica get her revenge by hitting him with her stuffed bunny, often leaving him bruised and with black eyes. Often Jimmy Five makes plans against her with various traps, sometimes using Franklin's inventions or talking Smudge into helping, but he always loses to Monica at the end.

Smudge's stories usually focus on his penchant for dirt and mess and his fear of water, without ever having taken a bath in life, and constantly being threatened by villains or his friends to take a bath whenever he gets away with a result at the end of the story. The stories with Maggy generally focus on her gluttony, with a superhuman ability to eat more than a normal person without ever getting fat and sometimes stealing food from her friends.

Among the villains are Captain Fray, a supervillain with the power to control garbage and dirt, and Lord Big Rabbit, a space bunny whose first appearance was in the movies. Lord's design was inspired on the iconic Star Wars' villain and main antagonist, Darth Vader. A joke often breaks the fourth wall.

So, I learned to read and became a lover of comic books due to Monica's Gang and its several spin-offs.

The writers used the medium of comics to branch into the most varied genres with the same characters: gags, slice of life, horror, sci fi, fantasy, action, adventure, parodies of classic literature, TV shows and movies, and of course, romance.

While usually the main characters went trough the Will They or They Will Not melodrama, we saw side characters who lived long love stories that overall, while not necessarily without disagreements, could still enjoy peace and comfort in a romantic relationship born of great respect, friendship and complicity, and there two pairings I would like to highlight.

TIA NENA AND TIO PEPO

Tia Nena and Tio Pepo were created in 1989 at the launch of Maggy's magazine to be Maggy's permanent great uncles.

Tia Nena is a great cook, considered by Maggy  to be "the biggest chef in the neighborhood". As time went by, the scriptwriters began to give her an extra layer, revealing Nena to be a good witch.

Her husband, Tio Pepo, is a carpenter, ready to make toys for the neighborhood kids.

Nena has a very maternal personality and genuine affection for those she loves, always protecting them with her heart as sweet as the delicacies she makes.

Even with her graceful manner, Nena always keeps an eye open towards some people, especially knowing that she is the target of malicious actions due to her magical powers, serving as a wise, ruthless and comical "fairy godmother", always willing to end injustices with your courage and determination.

Maggy's sweet and caring great-aunt has a long line of Moon witches in her family. She uses her magical knowledge to prepare delicious recipes and protect her loved ones. It is known that she has had powers since she was little and, with a touch of humor and wisdom, Nena guides Maggyon her journey of discovering magic, teaching her valuable lessons about family, friendship and the power of love.

Pepo is very kind, naive and affectionate, he has a childish soul and no evil in his heart, he is the typical little man who tries hard to please everyone, especially children. Since he was little, he was someone creative, who looked at the world through the eyes of a child. He knows about his wife's magical abilities and participates in fantastic events together with her. 

Love is something that builds over time. We usually are led to assume is only resumed to the conquest leading to the wedding.

Tia Nena and Tio Pepo show us that the building of an affectionate relationship goes beyond that, always expanding independently of age. And trough their companionship and love, they not only enrich each other's lives, but are inspired to always make the world a better place for all the people around them, and that is why I find them wholesome.

PUFF AND STEVE

From the light hearted teenager and young adult focused Tina's Pals magazine, comes the couple Puff (Pipa) and her boyfriend Steve (Zecão), the best friends of protagonist Tina.

Puff is very cheerful, passionate, super humorous and happy with life. She is the classic goofball when it comes to friendships, because she makes everyone and everything happy, always with the right opinion to give at the moment.

Quick on the verbal trigger, she doesn't let anything go unnoticed and is quite intelligent, a classic colleague who never lets you down, as she understands the value of companionship.

Because she is chubby, she keeps trying to go on a diet with a "deadline", but cannot resist a good chocolate bar, generating themes of body acceptance and self-esteem.

Despite her extremes, such as judging a lot (even without intention) or her insecurity (a result of her appearance, but she always tries to deconstruct this), she is a good confidant, well, just to vent, but one must be careful because Puff loves gossip and, from time to time, ends up releasing one or another valuable piece of information. Sincere, polite, but with a loose tongue, she is not afraid to express herself and say what she feels, especially to her boyfriend, Steve.

Despite working, Steve is a loose boy who likes to just spend time with his group of friends. He hates extending conversations or taking serious responsibility, but when he strikes a mature pose, he tries to show confidence.

He is absent-minded, carefree, calm and relaxed. This sometimes ends up hindering his relationship with Puff, as she, on several occasions, becomes frustrated with the coldness with which Zecão treats her weight and beauty (always, unintentionally), describing her as something that does not need to receive attention (even more so when others are around).

Steve has a huge passion and admiration for Puff, who is his opposite because she is very energetic and has an extroverted personality, always knowing how to start a conversation, unlike him, who doesn't even know how to answer clearly what people ask him.

He doesn't care that Puff is chubby. He loves her and is an incredible confidant. He has flaws, but he always decides to fix them, trying to be the best version of himself, without completely letting go of his essence as an individual.

Meanwhile, while Puff comits mistakes from which she has to grow and learn, the main lesson she learns from being with Steve is to take what she sees as "defects" in her, and start to see them as her best qualities.

In the world of Tina's Pals, Mauricio de Sousa reverses the roles imposed by society, as the main character Tina, who is tall, thin and determined, never finds someone to have a romantic relationship with and who would actually do her good, while Puff, in her conditions, dates Steve, who accepts her the way she is.

Showing once again that you maybe can lose weight if you want to or not, but in Mauricio's world, your way of being, thinking and acting guarantees you a happy ending.

um mano sinalizando Cebolinha (personagem da Turma da Mônica de Maurício de Souza) como ‘CEBOLA’ e ‘PEQUENO’. TCHAU 😭😭😭😭

[blogadrianaleite-blog]

Somente quem conhece a história dos personagens entenderão 😜

[bibas-de-oda]

Maurício de Souza tem boas referências ,e passa isso pra quem sabe realmente ler o Gibi dele assim como Eiichiro Oda tem suas boas e eternas referências

[cronicas-da-meia-noite]

Acabei de ler a Super Saga do Fim do Mundo da Turma da Mônica Jovem e é uma das melhores coisas que eu já li na vida.

São 14 volumes, entre as edições 51 a 99, esse último sendo de 2016. A história foi cancelada, Turma da Mônica Jovem continua sendo lançado mensalmente, mas nenhum outro volume voltou a tratar do fim do mundo.

Acredito que seja porque as histórias eram pesadas demais para a faixa etária de 10 anos, falavam muito de morte, espíritos, inferno, etc; acredito que o Maurício de Souza ou a Panini não estavam gostando do rumo e decidiram parar com ela. Uma pena, a história estava fantástica.

Recomendo vocês lerem, é fácil achar quais são os volumes certos e tem sites que disponibilizam em PDF. Vale muito a pena.

Happy Birthday, Mônica!

Mônica (from "Mônica and Friends") is a brazilian character made 60 years ago! She "born" in 1963 as the first girl character in the brazilian comics!

The character was made by Maurício de Souza, based when he had a daughter called Mônica too [he had three daughters what turned into characters (this is what I know), Mônica, Magali (Maggy) and Mariângela (the Jimmy Five's little sister]. In Brazil, we learn to read by these comics.

She's more than just a character, she's a feminist representation! She can do anything! She's stronger than any other character in the stories! She shows us that girls can do anything they want since 1963! Feliz Aniversário, Mônica!
