Cascão is one of the main characters in Mauricio de Sousa's Turma da Mônica, the long-running Brazilian comics and cartoon series centred on Mônica and her neighbourhood friends. He is best known for his fear of water and baths, a trait that makes any physical discomfort gag with him feel extra dramatic. Clips of his cartoon voice acting circulate widely in Brazil as short audios and soundboard buttons, shared in chats and edited into memes. This stomach ache version survives because the groaning needs no translation and fits countless everyday situations.
