Finding a cartoon panel about revolutions?

There was a wordless comic/cartoon panel I saw some years ago showing revolutionaries vs. the power elite, drawn in a cartoony, but vaguely medieval style. Now I can't find it! Help?
The panel was divided into several images, one where people beyond a high castle wall were screaming and angry because of the powerful folks, who were shown having a party and looking down at the angry folks like "Pfft, that rabble".
The other panels showed the people becoming revolutionaries, storming the castle, eliminating the rulers, and then doing exactly what the original rulers were doing; the final panel shows the former revolutionaries looking down on the new rabble the same way the old powers that be had looked down on them before.
The drawing style was thick lines, round forms, very cartoony. Everyone is dressed in vaguely medieval-y, dark ages clothes: robes and conical hats, and if I recall correctly, the main colors were yellow and red.
Does anyone know what comic I'm talking about? I haven't seen it in ages and would like to again.
Thanks!

There is also a Chick tract called "Fat Cats" (not giving them a link, no sir) which doesn't fit most of your description, but is based on the same premise (with a heaping dose of his born-again preaching and loud anti-Catholicism): the comic begins with one group of "revolutionaries" feasting around a table, ignoring the poor, and ends with the group that replaced them doing the same thing.
