There are four cavemen in a cave. Three of the cavemen are standing in a conversation wearing traditional cloth attire while the fourth sits on a rock in the background wearing a pin-striped suit and glasses while holding a club. One of the traditional cavemen is talking to the other traditional cavemen.
It is unusual for a caveman to be wearing a suit and glasses.
Why is the caveman wearing a suit and glasses? What is the other caveman saying?
My agent says it will be worth a lot more after I’m dead.

A joke about the work of artists becoming more valuable after they die, which is a common trope. Here, the agent is the one in the suit; he is correct that cavepaintings are probably worth a lot in the modern world. It's funny because while the trope applies to the modern world, it's humorous to think of the cave-people being aware of it, e.g., because they don't even have monetary systems.
