Do you have a time period for this cartoon, or any context? If you know the name of the image that could be helpful.

Hes mimicking jesus, making fun of him. Jesus was forced to carry his cross over the mountains and before jesus started walking to his destined area to die they put a crown of thorns on his head which made him bleed to death. Jesus died for our sins.

is this question multiple choice?

I think there's probably a deeper meaning than that. It probably represents some sort of political figure as well, which is why context or a time period would be helpful.
