A chemist saying “The natural look is the best thing that’s happened to us since the plague” is a splendid example of how this strip mixes the medieval with the modern. A reference to a modern back-to-nature attitude that began back in the 1970s when this was first published and a reference to the latest medieval plague.
I wonder who started all this make up stuff and why women only wear makeup and not men? Why do women wear makeup? Tell us the truth!!! (sorry) Why can’t women be more natural and themselves? Isn’t that kind of like lying and deception to get men to marry them? I prefer women to be themselves naturally and honest. How about that one guy in China who sued his wife when his children didn’t look anything like his wife did? I’m ok with natural.

I’ve never understood makeup. I’ve heard women tell me that if it’s done well it looks like you’re not wearing any. huh, wha?
