Bagong Drawing

Once told when it was revealed to the world, the gods told Semar that his shadow would be his friend. Immediately his shadow also changed into Bagong, which although stature similar to Semar but has the character and intelligence of the opposite. Bagong is very popular among people because of his own arrogant speech, rich in humor, and sassy. Bagong character is often used by Dalang to criticize the VOC in the Puppet show in Dutch colonization era. Alkisah ketika diturunkan ke dunia, para dewa bersabda pada Semar bahwa bayangannyalah yang akan menjadi temannya. Seketika itu juga bayangannya berubah wujud menjadi Bagong, yang biarpun perawakannya mirip Semar tapi memiliki karakter dan intelijen kebalikannya. Bagong sangat populer diantara masyarakat karena gaya bicaranya yang seenaknya sendiri, kaya dengan humor, dan lancang. Tokoh Bagong sering digunakan para Dalang untuk mengkritik pihak VOC dalam pertunjukkan Wayang di jaman kolonisasi Belanda.
