What you’re looking at

This Judge cartoon depicts two figures standing in a nighttime landscape, gazing upward at the moon, which displays a visible ring or halo around it. The illustration's title references the folk superstition that a ring around the moon indicates approaching bad weather or misfortune. The cartoon likely uses this meteorological phenomenon as visual metaphor for some contemporary concern or ominous social/political development. Without additional context identifying the specific figures or the publication date, the precise satirical target remains unclear. The dark, moody artistic style emphasizes foreboding, suggesting the cartoon comments on some looming crisis or negative expectation facing the nation or a particular group during the period Judge was published.
