She asks:
Why are there medieval peasants (circa 1300) talking about the French Revolution ( 1789-1802)? I get the comment was supposed to be wryly funny, but I can’t get past the characters.
I guess the cartoonist is fuzzy about how revolting French people would have dressed? Maybe AI involved, “Draw me some people from long ago”. Srsly, it’s an excellent question, and an unnecessary distraction from the point of the cartoon!
Tomlinson is from South Africa, but I don’t think that gets him a bye on this detail.

As a person with extremely low knowledge of history and different ways of dress, the joke is fine for me. However, if someone is going to nitpick the different styles, why not complain about the hoods? Apparently those were rare.
Philip – This treatment will certainly make the executee not care about any medical problem, but it won’t end many of them. Even worse, it could cause the spread of their medical problem to others, exacerbating it, not ending it.
