It Never Rains has been nominated for an Aurora Award in the category of "Graphic Novel/Comic." It's up against some stiff competition, but it's fun just to be nominated. The comic is twelve years old and has, I believe, been nominated 11 times. It has won five of those times, in 2015, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Panel 1: Rose and Maggie are talking in Rose's bedroom. Iz enters the room.

Iz: Sorry...I know I'm interrupting, but this is important. It bothers you that you can't fix the past, right?

Panel 2:

Maggie: What a clever insight. And it's not that I can't fix the past; it's that apparently, if I do, I'll just create another damn universe.

Panel 3:

Iz: Right. We've talked about this. You can, at least theoretically, save every Rose except yourself.

Panel 4:

Iz: Unless you go back to your present and save yourself there.

Rose: That's just crazy talk.

Alt-Text: Everybody knows that the least efficient way to save yourself is to do it in the present.
