Something strange has been happening over on "The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids" this fine First of April. No doubt the Fooling Fish are behind this sudden return to Long Ago… thecrewofthecoppercoloredcupids.wordpress.com/2026/04/01/b...

Character artwork of Lethe-548, a recurring character from 'The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids'. She is a cartoony-looking brass humanoid with angular hair in a bun, metal wings, and a somewhat weary, apprehensive look. She is holding a gnarled lead-grey walking stick, similar to a wizard or hermit's staff.

"The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids" is seven years old! In honor of the occasion, follow a lost penny as it somehow finds its way through almost every story we've released in "Lucky Seven"! thecrewofthecoppercoloredcupids.wordpress.com/2026/02/14/l...
A version of the "Cupids" logo that reads "The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' 7th anniversary!". The "7" is large and centered, taking up most of the blue background.

October 12th - "Trick or Thymon!", a wonderful piece of guest art by Ophelien Twain! thecrewofthecoppercoloredcupids.wordpress.com/trick-or-thy...
A drawing of Lord Thymon - an entity made out of blue tendrils with a single eye - wearing a bedsheet ghost costume with a single eye hole. His signature hat is perched on top, and a pumpkin basket is levitating beside him. His dialogue reads "Candy please. Inside the pumpkin receptacle" in "glitched" text.

The Rainbow Kids are on a ship
They hope a nice relaxing trip
Is what they’ll find upon the sea
On ocean waves they’ll frolic free!

Romantic finds it hard to rest
This seabound life proves quite a test
It’s not the sort of life he knows
The small boat rocks! The cold wind blows!

“I’d rather be on land,” says he
“The solid ground is right for me!
I’d gambol in the flowers there
And dance about like Fred Astaire!”

“Romantic!” cry the Rainbow Tots
“Don’t tie yourself all up in knots!
There’s fun out here upon the sea
We’re sure you’ll find that you agree!”

Romantic sees the golden sun
And schools of fish all having fun.
“Why, Rainbow Kids, sure as you’re born!
I’ve found the rose among the thorns!”

INT. MYSTERIOUS CITY - BRAIN CHAMBER

ROMANTIC and the RAINBOW KIDS overlook the ENORMOUS BRAIN from the OBSERVATIONAL BALCONY. The DREAM CIRCUITS buzz and whir.

JILLIAN:
I’ll bet one good whack would damage those Dream Circuits! Then the Central Brain could wake up from its endless dream!

ROMANTIC-957:
I admire your determination, Jillian, but we’ve got to be careful. Until we know more about this brain, it won’t do at all to act hastily!

Romantic assumes a WISE EXPRESSION.

ROMANTIC-957:
We mustn’t assume we always know what’s best when making a bold decision! If we try to talk to the brain first, we might find that it prefers to remain in its dream state!

SUZANNE:
But who would prefer to be lost in a dream, Mr Romantic? When we encountered the Dream Master and he imprisoned me in my worst nightmares, I was terrified!

ROMANTIC-957:
It may seem unpleasant to us, but the choice is only the Central Brain’s to make! That is why we must use the Magic Rainbow to enter its dreams before we can make our decision!

ROMANTIC snaps his fingers, and the MAGIC RAINBOW appears with its signature SPARKLING NOISE.

LITTLE BILLY:
Jeepers! I sure do love using the Magic Rainbow!

ROMANTIC and the RAINBOW KIDS leap into the SWIRLING COLORS of the MAGIC RAINBOW.
