One common form this takes is the use of Yiddish words and phrases by Jewish characters, even millennia before the Yiddish language existed. During a section discussing stone age technological progress, a caveman is shown carrying a TV set. Joab tells the future King David that he's like the Little John to David's Robin Hood, referencing folk heroes that wouldn't exist for over a thousand years. This is lampshaded when David admits he has no idea what Joab is talking about.

The Cartoon History of the Universe (Comic Book) / int_3e8c87a3	type	Dated History
The Cartoon History of the Universe (Comic Book) / int_3e8c87a3	comment	Dated History: There are some parts of these comics that haven't aged well, factually speaking. It's claimed that Neanderthals couldn't articulate many sounds, so they probably used a language consisting of grunts and gesticulation. This hypothesis was based on assumptions about Neanderthal physiology that were later proven incorrect; the current belief is that while Neanderthals probably couldn't produce as many sounds as modern humans, they could still produce enough of them to have a spoken language. Neanderthals being driven to extinction due to conquest and extermination by the Cro-Magnons has been increasingly challenged by archaeological and genetic evidence. While not completely discredited, it's generally believed in the scientific community that it was, at most, one of multiple factors. Speaking of Cro-Magnons, they're universally depicted as having light skin; it's now largely accepted that early European modern humans were almost all dark-skinned until around 30,000 years ago, and many Europeans still had dark skin until around 5,000 years ago. Accounts of a Sumerian ritual where the king would engage in ritual sex with the high priestess of Inanna are presented as unambiguously true, since in the 20th century, historical consensus took these claims at face value. However, the 21st saw the rise of a competing theory, one that claimed the unions were mere embellishments designed to add to the king's image; proponents of this hypothesis point to how those exact same claimed outright impossible feats from these kings, such as them running 200 miles in a single day. The race of the pre-Hellenic Egyptians changes based on what theories are popular at the time — they're depicted as black in the first five volumes, in contrast to the white Jews and Hyksos (it's presented as a subtle joke that Moses is also black), but then asides in the fifteenth show white ancient Egyptians discussing farming techniques with black West Africans and buying black slaves from black Nubians. It's now believed that they were (mostly) neither white nor black, but Afro-Asiatic like modern Egyptians. On the topic of Thutmose III and his predecessor Hatshepsut, Gonick runs with the then-mainstream theory that Hatshepsut tried to keep Thutmose out of power, leading him to try and erase her from Egyptian history after she died out of revenge when he became pharaoh. This account has been discredited; it's now known that Thutmose held a lot of support in the military and could probably have overthrown Hatshepsut if he wanted to, so it's more likely that the two shared power and may even have been co-rulers. Furthermore, Thutmose kept religious and administrative leaders appointed by Hatshepsut in their positions and had his mortuary temple built next to hers, both of which he was unlikely to have done if he really did have a grudge against her. As for the defacing of her monuments, it's now known to have happened much later than previously thought and is believed to have been done by either a very old Thutmose or his son and coregent Amenhotep II to prevent one of Hatshepsut's relatives from being elevated to the throne. Gonick puts far more stock the historicity of certain Biblical stories than more recent historians (and when it comes to early Christianity, his Author Avatar all but nervously admits that much of its material had to be taken straight from the New Testament due to the paucity of other accounts). It's claimed that the Samaritans were descended from people transported to the Kingdom of Israel by the Assyrians. This was a popular theory once, but it's since fallen out of favor due to DNA evidence indicating that the Samaritans are actually an offshoot of the Ancient Hebrews. What destroys the Indus Valley Civilization in Volume 8 is brutal invasion and subjugation by the Indo-Aryans, based on a now-discredited theory formulated by Sir Mortimer Wheeler. Since the supposed evidence of violence has since been ascribed to other factors, it's now believed that changes in climate and a series of earthquakes were responsible for the civilization's decline and eventual collapse. Gonick ascribes more geopolitical importance to the Battle of Talas than 21st century historians generally do, claiming that it marked the end of Chinese hegemony over Central Asia. To his credit, he says Tang influence in the region could have recovered if not for the outbreak of the An Lushan rebellion, but the narrative that the battle marked a turning point is no longer taken seriously since evidence suggests Chinese control there actually increased between the battle and the rebellion.

The Cartoon History of the Universe (Comic Book) / int_4eaa9b84	comment	Author Tract: Gonick manages to not rant too much except in occasional circumstances, but his political leanings are pretty much impossible to miss if you're paying attention. Gonick's parents were fans of socialism/communism, and were undoubtedly a little worried during the Joseph McCarthy hearings. Gonick's drawing of Joseph McCarthy as a dark, foreboding individual reflects this. At the end of Volume 1 of Modern World, Gonick asks point blank how historians can be expected to remain impartial and unbiased in the face of the horrific atrocities committed by the Spanish conquistadors against America's natives. Gonick sticks a number of critical references to the administration of George W. Bush in The Cartoon History of the Modern World.

In reality, it was because their father Miltiades died owing the Athenian government a large fine, leaving his family rich in land but little else; there was no dowry for Elpinike, and since a dowry was a necessity for marriage in Ancient Athens, she couldn't get married until a wealthy man agreed to pay off the debt in exchange for her hand in marriage. This is punctuated by a two-panel sequence of Kimon telling Elpinike "I need you, sister... I need you to get me money."

"Zanj" was a term for East African slaves (bought from their native rulers in what is now Kenya and Tanzania) who were employed in southern Iraq's production of sugarcane. They rose in revolt against the Arab, Persian, and Turkish rulers of the Abbasid Caliphate, and (as Gonick notes) fought ferociously for their freedom (primarily because the alternative was death). It's specifically brought up in an exchange between a Zanj and an Arab soldier where the former can settle for either his death or his foe's.

However, when she insists to Augustus that putting Archelaus on the throne would be a bad idea, she turns out to be right: his rule is plagued by controversy and unrest, forcing Augustus to depose him and impose direct Roman rule over his territory.

For example, rather than say that Aaron parted the Red Sea, it says the Jews ditched the pursuing Egyptians in muddy terrain. This is due to some scholars believing that the parting of the Red Sea is a mistranslation. Other times, however, the comic directly recreates scenes from religious texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, keeping the deities intact.

The Cartoon History of the Universe (Comic Book) / int_d558b013	comment	On the topic of Thutmose III and his predecessor Hatshepsut, Gonick runs with the then-mainstream theory that Hatshepsut tried to keep Thutmose out of power, leading him to try and erase her from Egyptian history after she died out of revenge when he became pharaoh. This account has been discredited; it's now known that Thutmose held a lot of support in the military and could probably have overthrown Hatshepsut if he wanted to, so it's more likely that the two shared power and may even have been co-rulers. Furthermore, Thutmose kept religious and administrative leaders appointed by Hatshepsut in their positions and had his mortuary temple built next to hers, both of which he was unlikely to have done if he really did have a grudge against her. As for the defacing of her monuments, it's now known to have happened much later than previously thought and is believed to have been done by either a very old Thutmose or his son and coregent Amenhotep II to prevent one of Hatshepsut's relatives from being elevated to the throne.

The Cartoon History of the Universe (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Many different characters and organizations get running gags about them. Moses as the slightly-embarrassed-to-be-Hebrew half-Egyptian aristocrat. Alcibiades being a hedonist. Xiang Yu's (impressive) voice. The Gauls are consistently portrayed like the Gauls of Asterix. The ghost of Abu Sufyan showing up whenever a member of the Muslim Umayyad dynasty is featured (as an aside, this makes him the longest-running character in the work!). Muslim missionaries making exactly the wrong pitch to potential converts, such as depicting monotheism as a novel concept to the Jews, arguing for modesty of dress in Ghana (where dressing less was an asset), and proposing for the sequestration of women (not really a Muslim doctrine, but it had become part of the package by that time) to a woman ruler. Central Asian nomads' (adversarial) relationship with vegetables. Almost all civilizations' aversion to bathing. Drawing Robert Guiscard, a Norman lord famed for his conquests in Italy, as a weasel ("Guiscard" means "weasel" in French). Drawing Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra as ducks. Their mother was said to have mated with a swan, but ducks are funnier. Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire in India, is portrayed as a stoner with buck teeth: a stoner, because he is said to have liked a kind of cannabis candy, and buckteeth because his name is hypothesized to mean "beaver." "Merrie" England and the gleeful use of Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe. Ethan Allen was additionally known for being able to throw a bag of salt over his shoulder with his teeth - in every image of him he has a bag of salt pinched in his teeth. The "Northern Barbarians" (complete with tribal-esque headdresses and ominous drums), which bedeviled the Chinese for most of their history. "OOPS!", for when an unintended consequence of a decision (or series of decisions) lead to disaster The Byzantine Empire had a policy of gouging out the eyes of incompetent or otherwise failed Emperors, claiming it to be more "civilized" than simply executing them. Naturally, given the history of the Empire, Gonick has a field day with this concept.
