This is the tarot Trump card “the fool”. The fact that he is using the axe incorrectly is part of the point. He just bumbles forwards blindly, driven along by the cat who swipes at his balls, unburdened by any intention whatsoever.
The fool is an incredibly important card in that it is the genesis of all action. As card 0, he sort of stands outside the path of the major arcana and can be seen as the beginning of any line of progression. Without the fool, nothing would or could ever begin.

You’re in luck!
That’s not an axe, it’s a bindle - exactly what a fool (in french, le fou) would carry.
He’s wearing medieval trousers - that is in fact two ‘hose’
And again le fou is so stupid, his junk is out and all over the place.

Was not expecting an actually educational response to my meme of a comment, but boy is it delightful to receive.
Really appreciate the information!

You had 100% of my attention with the cat and mouse game.
History is often much more interesting looking up from the average guy than looking down with all the majesty (and bureaucracy) of the nobles. This card has great insight into the common man.
