As an author-illustrator of children's picture books, I, Sean E Avery, often soften my jokes to suit my young audiences. I created my weekly webcomic, Sheep and Cloud, to explore my darker sense of humor for grownups!
Every Sunday morning, I reflect on my journal from the past week and pick out the most significant moment. I make a comic about the moment for fun using my fluffy little characters. Made with love, always.

Chilled Out Gig
When it comes to my comics, I try to pick out the most universal themes in modern life to include in my webcomic to reach as many people as possible. I love making fun of hypocrisy the most, so if I ever identify it or other types of irrationalities in the way we live and love, I try to represent it in the 4 - 6-panel format.
Seasons
I get bumps and start choking I have a serious pollen allergy
Scrolling
José the Stabby Stabby Duck is one of my favorite characters to emerge from the Sheep and Cloud universe. I can't tell you how much I'd love to make a picture book about him, but no self-respecting children's publisher would ever touch it (for good reason). I love bad guys, anti-heroes, and mean-spirited humor.

Probelms
I work on Sheep and Cloud every Saturday morning for fun. No one owns them, so I can do whatever I want with those characters; it's a liberating creative feeling. The rest of the week, I teach at a primary school (grade 4 - 6 art teacher) and work on my kids' books. The books I produce for the commercial market are highly edited and subject to the whims of many people, so I don't have as much creative freedom over those as I do over my little webcomic. It's special to me.
More Specific
Yes, like maybe narrow it down by department or level of disdain?

I'm the art teacher at the primary school I work at, and my best buddy is Dave, the PE teacher. We both have a black sense of humor, and I always walk away from our conversations laughing with tons of material for Sheep and Cloud. Dave is like my unofficial collaborator on the project.
Stickers
I did this too, my family moved 36 times in my childhood (not military) putting a sticker somewhere felt too permanent.
Clenching
I tense up whenever I try to do something that takes effort, not the jaw thing though.
Anit-Social
I just don't drink alcohol because it tastes bad, I have no idea what you all see in it.
This! Lol Everytime I tell someone I don't like booze they go "oh it's just an acquired taste!" Ok fine sure, but why would I put myself through the effort of drinking something I already don't like, and isn't good for me, just so I can LEARN to like it? What's the point?
Load More Replies...I don't drink alcohol because both sides of my family are alcoholics. Yet I'm definitely a social butterfly and people person. I do smoke mad w**d tho
Spooky Tree
I have a small black Christmas tree. My dad calls it my Tim Burton tree haha
Military Grade
Any reference to "military" means it barely meets the requirements, is stupidly expensive, or usually both.
Run
Don't you mean...... a BAAAA-TH?........ I'll excuse myself now-
Poké Go
Pokemon Go started a month of peace, then everything went....very....very downhill...
Sport?
I am the sheep. I dislike most of the major sports- American football, basketball, baseball, etc...
I only like two sports, basketball and baseball. Out of both of them I can name five teams total on a good day
Something New?
What they mixed up Olive Garden and red lobster those are my favorite places that hurts me 😭

Lactose Intolerance
I can't imagine what would happen to me if I became lactose-intolerant, I eat/drink SO MUCH DAIRY.
As a lactose intolerant person, there are plenty of lactose free products. Aged cheeses naturally are. For everything else, if it's worth it, then the lactase pills.
