Cloudy skies. 🔭🧪

Strip cartoon. Three pairs of two scenes. First scene each pair: man looks at a computer screen showing an announcement. Second scene each pair: man outside looking at sky.
First pair: 'Tonight: meteor shower, only happens once every 1,000 years.' Outside, sky cloudy.
Second pair: 'Tonight: lunar eclipse, only once in our lifetimes.' Outside, sky cloudy.
Third pair: 'Tonight: Incredibly rare clouds! Once-in-a-lifetime...' Outside, sky is clear. Man says 'Oh, for fuck's sake.'
