Alright, so the first few pages of this part of the NP was just prior to Pandora seeing them and having her rant about Catalina's name based affinity.

I'm not too sure about that. In the commentary for the first comic in this storyline Dan said "it's a direct continuation of the previous one". I took that as this storyline occuring immediately after the conclusion of the previous one. Pandora's presence here could just be her hanging around hoping to see some hijinks happen.

The panel looks IDENTICAL. Also, if that would be literally direct continuation, it would start AFTER the hijinks. Obviously, there was some time rewind.

... although yes, before today's strip I assumed it directly follows panel 2 here.

The reason why I wasn't sure about Dan's timeline for this story. I did notice though that in the commentary for this comic he refers to it as a "continuation of the previous storyline", dropping the "direct continuation" he had previously used in describing it.

I had also thought it the first strip of "Escape" was a directly after Pandora's rant and decision to follow them around. But Dan wouldn't reuse the same panel in two separate stories unless he'd want to tie the two together. Maybe the confusion Dan should have been worried about wasn't for whether people would wonder if this was canon, but for the fact that he did say "Escape" was a "direct continuation" when there's clearly a bit of overlap. ;)

Also, he hinted the panels are same on twitter. And linked the previous comics with that panel in commentary.

I read somewhere that it might not actually be as stupid as it sounds, because bread and cakes are made from different kind of flours and there was a time where the ones for bread wasn't available. That doesn't change that she isn't likely to actually say it.

 

Anyway, about the content of comics: yes, finding good book is hard, especially without opening it. Unless you go for already-known author, and sometimes even then.

I read that the law in France at the time said that if a baker ran out of the cheapest bread, he HAD to sell a similar quantity of SOME sort of vaguely bread-like thing, that he actually had on hand, for the same price. So (assuming that is correct) if the peasants had no bread due to a shortage of bread-flour, but there was abundant cake-flour, the peasants would legitimately be eating cake.

On the other hand, if the peasants had no bread because economic conditions were bad enough that they couldn't afford cheap bread...

This part is on wikipedia talk page.

Well, shortage of bread-flour means that the prices go up ... at least in last famine in French monarchy, when merchants were allowed to speculate. (Before, the market was more regulated. So was afterwards, at least as long as people remembered that failed economy experiment.)

So, in short, it was literally cheaper to buy cake than bread at the time, so the statement was not "let them deal with high prices by buying something even higher priced", as many modern people assume at first glance, but rather "let them use the next cheapest substitute".
