Gopher Broke, a gorgeous little cartoon from Blur Studios, tells the story of the world’s unluckiest gopher. He’s desperate to sample the tomatoes he sees on a farmers’ market sign, but things just don’t go his way.

It seems like every time fortune smiles on our buck-toothed hero, bad luck is just around the corner. I kept waiting for him to catch a break, but it just never seems to happen.

But this lovable rodent never loses hope. No matter what bad luck befalls him, he just keeps on trying and believing something better is in store. I think there’s a lesson there for all of us!
