The article presents a incursion for the discursive universe of the controversial characters "Fradins", created by the cartunist Henfil. The intention is pointing out, on one hand, the curbed politics and customs construction, and, on the other hand, the religious elites obliging Christianity politics as well as the social simulacra. The studied case is not only about the critical devotion, but specifically about the devotion to the power. I defend the premise that, by means of grotesques and fantastic features, in irony and carnavalization scenario, Henfil has demystified the religious and political deities, replacing them with the doubt and placing them side by side with ridicule. In this way, the henfilianian mood represents a resistance effort, at the same time that contributes for the political fight against the military dictatorship.
