The Relevance Theory (SPERBER AND WILSON, 1995 [2001]) allows that not only logical and philosofical language aspects are understood, but also enables the analysis of psychological issues involved in the interpretation of linguistic utterances. Anchored in this reflection, this work, inserted in the theoretical-methodological field of Pragmatics, develops a textual-discursive analysis of the genre cartoon, more specifically from the ones in the book "Visão e Revisão. Conceito e Preconceito.” by capixaba author Ricardo Ferraz, in order to verify the prejudice towards the deficiencies in the interactions that compose these texts. To do so, the theoreticalmethodological procedures of Grice's Conversation Theory (1975 [1982]) and Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory (1995 [2001]) are adopted. Since the cartoon is a genre of humor, it is also investigated how the author underlies humor, especially resilient humor, to report veiled prejudice in the characters’ speeches and attitudes. This qualitative and interpretative investigation has the contributions of Bergson’s (1900 [1987]), Propp’s (1992) and Gomes’s (2008) postulates. For the study of cartoon as a text genre, this work has its basis on Marcuschi’s (2008), Bakhtin’s (1952-1953 [2003]), Lins and Gonçalves’s (2013) and Ramos’s (2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014) proposals. From this theoretical perspective, it is seen that the process of textual interpretation can be conducted beyond what is represented on the cartoon surface, in a verbal and visual way. Thus, once the texts implicature is discovered, readers will reflect on the described situation, in the case of these thematic cartoons, what is the prejudice and discrimination towards the disabled people in society.
