What you’re looking at

This single-panel cartoon depicts a woman at a graveside in a cemetery. A tombstone reads "THE OLD BOY HIMSELF," while she holds an umbrella in the rain, positioned near a gravestone marked "SLAUGHTER." The title "The College Widow" and the graveside setting suggest satire about a widow connected to a college or university community. "The Old Boy" likely refers to a deceased alumnus or established figure. The visual juxtaposition—a woman mourning at a grave while positioned near "Slaughter"—implies criticism of her role or conduct, though the exact satirical target remains unclear without additional historical context about Judge's publication date and contemporary college scandals.
