I didn't notice that, but I'm not surprised. In the comic, "Robespierre" autographs someone's thigh in "the blood of the oppressors."
On the other hand, if you want to be irresponsible and take the reductio ad absurdum route, you could argue that without the Revolution there could have been no Bonaparte, without Bonaparte no Bonapartistes and therefore no Napoléon III, without Napoléon III no Franco-Prussian War, and without the Franco-Prussian War no desire on the part of France for revenge on Germany, etc. But of course, opening up a possibility is not really the same as causing something, especially not at so many removes. Hence the reductio ad absurdum. (Though I'm sure there's a revisionist out there who would love to adopt the argument.)
