Some cavemen are standing around in a cave. There is a caveman sitting on a rock with a club.
One of the cavemen is wearing a modern suit.
Why is he wearing that?
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.
