Hey look, a fable!\u00c2\u00a0 This is the story of Cyrus Helton, a sad man who has terrible luck, and a literal raincloud that follows him everywhere he goes.\u00c2\u00a0 Cyrus has no luck at work, with his landlady, at cards, and has no illusions about anything ever changing.\u00c2\u00a0 Which, of course, means, that something has to change.\u00c2\u00a0 Cyrus wins the lottery, which dispels his cloud… but change isn’t always a good thing.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve probably said too much, as this is a tiny thing and it’s hard to say anything about it without giving the whole thing away.\u00c2\u00a0 Not exactly a shocking moral to the story, although Dan maybe could have spent another panel or two setting up why exactly change isn’t a good thing in this case.\u00c2\u00a0 I get what he’s trying to do, but it’s still a bit much to see Cyrus pining away for the bad old days.\u00c2\u00a0 Still, it’s a decent little story, and as a wise person once said “those who can, do; those who can’t, complain about those who can”.\u00c2\u00a0 Or something like that, I always get all the good quotes confused.\u00c2\u00a0 Point is that yes, I am aware of how silly it is for me to request that the artist add a few panels to their story to make it come together just for me, but hey, that’s the nature of having a website all about the mini comics.<\/p>\n
