Your comments are better than the cartoon. I don’t get it but thank you for your (as usual) amazing addition to the comment section. Boy do I feel dumb!! I’ll check in later and maybe someone will have explained it for me?
In nations of the former British Empire, “cabinet” officers are referred to as “Ministers.” These are referred to as “Secretaries” in the U.S. — e.g., “Secretary of Defense.” That brings me to the second point — the British spelling: Defence (rather than the Americanized “Defense”). I have long believed that “Chuckle Brothers” is written and drawn in Canada. So … what is the humor in this panel? I believe that it is the fact that the “Minister of Religious Affairs” is not a layman, but rather a religious “minister” himself (a bishop, in fact, as signaled by the miter [British “mitre”] he is wearing).

The ministers of finance and religious affairs won’t be able to see anything wrong, as they have no eyes.
