What you’re looking at

This is a multi-panel comic titled "The Cat's" showing a man repeatedly harassed and chased by a black cat. The sequence depicts escalating chaos: the cat trips him, tangles him in rope, knocks over objects, creates general mayhem indoors and outdoors, and ultimately causes him to flee up a mountain shouting "MEOW!" This appears to be a visual gag playing on superstitions about black cats bringing bad luck. The satire likely mocks either someone's paranoia about bad omens or, possibly, critiques a particular public figure's tendency to blame external forces (represented by the relentless cat) for their misfortunes. Without additional context, the specific political target remains unclear, though Judge's cartoons typically lampooned contemporary politicians and social figures.
