I Create Funny Comics With Slightly Dark Themes About The Adventures Of A Sheep And Cloud (40 Pics)
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!

Agreed... Getting a seltzer water seems to be the easiest way out of having to explain why you're not drinking alcohol -_-;
Load More Replies...It's funny to me how much people push drinking. I don't smoke weedles anymore but when I did (where I live it's legal) there would always be someone like "I don't smoke, I don't like the way it makes me feel". Which I totally understand and I would say 'its not for everyone.' ------ BUT when I say I don't like the way alcohol makes me feel no one understands. They try to give me advice on how I can drink effectively, but I would just rather not.
👍🥲 shouldn't have to explain why you don't want to do whatever they're doing. Leave the jerks behind!
Load More Replies...Once had a guy ask me : you don't smoke, you don't drink, how the hell do you have fun ? Made me kind of sad for him.
My reply to that question would be "watching anime and listening to Joe Hisaishi's music."
Load More Replies...My excuse and a true excuse is I was in borderline alcoholic after my deployment. I don't want to go back down that road so I just don't drink. I still get huge cravings for it but and then I'll say no to myself.
I'm teetotal (allergic to alcohol) and people get so s****y with me about it, like I'm committing some sort of crime by not imbibing. Apparently I can't have any fun because I don't drink . . . I'm also automatically expected to be the designated driver for others!
Anti anger medication, without it your face could have been pulp due to outbursts. (Drugs and alcohol, only mix responsible)
Working on weekly comics lets me use some of the jokes that might not been appropriate for kids' books – but I also don't want to go TOO over the top (no swearing etc). I'd never want any of my young readers to find my comics online and be shocked by anything too outrageous or inappropriate.
Type A Or Type B?
Yah, but then I keep going back for just one more square ;)
Load More Replies...this was me until i heard about the cockroach thing 😭
Parenting
Take for example the comic about a duck with a knife threatening Sheep to give him more bread. Now, I think the idea of a fluffy yellow duck with a little gangster accent mugging people for bread is hilarious, but I can't see a librarian or parent ever buying a picture book for their children entitled "The Adventures of Jose´ the Stabby Stabby Duck"
Bread In My Beak Or Blood On My Knife
An little fact giving bread to the ducks is basically slowly killing them you give them bread wich hold noting of nutrition value for them it swels up in their stomach becouse bread dose that when its wet and the have an full stomach fast without getting any nutrition so every time you give them bread your killing them
Must be an addict. Bread is pretty bad for ducks. It fills up their tummies with next to no nutricions.
Adding to the comments that say bread kills ducks. Birds are not mammals. They cannot eat junk food. They cannot store fat in their bodies because they need to stay light to fly. Junk food KILLS them.
Boomer Dads
Ah yes. The generation that kicked the ladder down in our face and wonders why we're not millionaires supporting them.
We tell our kids, "enough for everything we need, and a lot of the things we want."
The comic is more like a drawing exercise I do on Saturday mornings than a serious art session; something I do for me because it's fun and I've made a commitment to my audience who hate to let them down. The comic is super easy to draw (about 2 hours for each one) and I've got endless ideas to pick from in my notebooks. I often use memes as my inspiration too, which my friends and I are constantly sending each other.
Good Ol' Days
Will my post you ponder the most be the deleted one?... Maybe.
Don't we spend 2 much time being in 2 places we cannot be? The Past and the Future... Yeah.
If I can just stop living my regretted past in the present then it will be a better future!... Yeah.
Sky High Lamb
It's... right! I mean I remember the exact same scene from my childhood!!😂😂
Me too! Then I had a kid and I remember the entire panic I had the first time someone threw him like that which of course he loved lol.
Load More Replies...My heart almost stops every time my husband does this with our boys🫣
A lot of my personal experiences are in these comics, like in the comic where Sheep and Cloud are making fun of the young couple on their phones. People are very quick to judge couples sitting at breakfast scrolling on phones – people can still be together and connected, even if they're not gazing lovingly into each other's eyes the entire meal. The comic demonstrates that comfortable silences and distractions have existed since the dawn of society.
Vapey Mcvapington
Why is it annoying? Maybe I'm the only one like this but I go outside to vape unless I'm in my house. I'm not near anyone so how is it annoying?
I do it only at home. A plus side of vaping is that your clothes don't smell like a dumpster
Load More Replies...Why? It can be an addiction, also really the only annoying people are the ones who brag about doing drugs of any kind and complain when you don't do said drug.
It's still annoying. Especially when you're indoors.
Load More Replies...Scrolling
This hits. Honestly when you have been with someone for awhile there's no need to have every minute being a "connected moment". Bring comfortable with silence is one of the best things about having a long term partner
I just spent several hours of silence reading online novels with my partner while petting the cat. And occasionally each other.
Load More Replies...Usually it's my BF and me sending silly memes and suggestions of things to do back and forth... But yeah, WE'RE the ones who are disconnected
Moths
Moths are beautiful. Bees are heros we don't deserve. Wasps are jerks. Butterflies are drama queens
Spiders are useful. Mosquitoes are monsters.
Load More Replies...Most "moths" we see at night are actually butterflies that live at night. They won't eat your clothes but they will fertilize plants and flowers. Real moths are also a lot smaller then these nighttime butterflies. Also there are are more species of nighttime butterflies then their daytime cousins
Nooo my babies don’t listen to them u r beautiful little moths
Seriously? Wasps and mosquitos are the WORST! Don't malign the beautiful moth!
Cloud Is A Monster
Roses are red, Cacti are prickly, HOLY SHIZ THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
Sand
I don't like sand, it's course and rough and irritating and it gets EVERYWHERE!
But the sand can hide hidden treasures, like seashells or perfectly dried seaweed, or a cool piece of driftwood.
Omg!! So true. Every time I go to the beach I think of this. Freaking sand!!
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough, and it gets everywhere - anakin
Rude Rooster

But theyre staring at the rooster...most animals will get somewhat cocky when being stared at and talked about...I mean, he's right there..don't they realize he can hear them
Coffee > Being On Time
I mean, honestly? I don't drink coffee, but if the penalty is the same whether you're one minute late or an hour, and stopping for coffee helps you get into a proper mindset to get your work done well, then you're probably better off taking your time and getting a coffee if you're gonna be late anyway. Like, obviously punctuality is important so try to be on time and don't let coffee *make* you late if you would be on time if not for stopping for coffee, but sometimes you're just running late for whatever reason and you realize when you're halfway there that short of time travel or teleportation there's nothing you can do at that point to make it on time, so you may as well relax and take your time since you'll be late either way and being in a good headspace to get stuff done will always be better for productivity than being there a few minutes faster and super stressed out.
What if you did leave early enough to get coffee and to get to work on time, but after getting coffee you got into a traffic jam that then made you late for work? Lol I always try to leave early enough to also account for unsuspected traffic, but there are times where even that still makes you late, although rare.
Type A Or B?
i just have to have one cup of regular coffee and i will get so f**King caffeinated. if i'm having a good day i'll be manic and giddy and hyper and probably act like i'm on cocaine. and if i'm having a bad day, i will die on the floor screaming.
Fun fact : "Good day" is a brand name for Indonesian instant coffee.
Load More Replies...The black coffee drinkers need to stop putting crystal meth in their coffee...maybe sugar isnt quite as bad as the crystal meth they've been consuming after all...I suggest they switch back to sugar..smh Ya think?
Wait, are you not supposed to smell colors? Why am I just learning this now?!
I like my one small cup of coffee as strong and black as you can get, nothing in it…only need one if it’s done right ;) even though the darker/bolder it is the less caffeine it has!

Yea but back then you know that toy wouldve been opened and played with and broken. It wouldnt be anywhere near prestine unopened unused condition anyway..
If they would have bought them then that would have been an investment. That's the proper way you teach children the ways of money
Truth though... That's why I go out of my way when I can, you just never know... And out of my way is like $10 to $20 bucks so often on occasion lol.
Stabby Shampoo
People are most likely to get murdered by a relative if they are going to get murdered. Or just someone they know. It's stats and psychology.
Why does it have to be coconut shampoo? I use coconut shampoo.... and conditioner, and leave-in conditioner. Who knows when my time will be now. 😂 I'll keep taking my chances
Gesundheit
Yeah, all trees do! Wait... what?!
Load More Replies...Captured how I feel when people sneeze at me!! Please people cover your mouth!!
Oh, good. It’s nice to know that even clouds sneeze when exposed to sun…
But... clouds are exposed to the sun all the time, unless it's night, or there's more clouds on top of them...
Load More Replies...You Are Enough
im the laziest, annoying-est, rudest b**ch alive, so if you feel bad about yourself, just know i am "enough" and i know for a fact that unless you're a serial killer you're morally and charismatically better than me and you deserve love more than i do and i wish i could give all of it to you
The problem is no one listens most of the time, going on about how they suck when we're all saying they're not
Enough... is never enough! #97 Would a Ferengi say, and I agree. You may not be enough but everyone else isn't either, just try to be plenty for select few.
You are enough. You are plenty. Honestly? Sometimes you're like WAY too much, if we're being real here. The one thing you will never be is insufficient.
i wish my family would say this to me but i don't think it will ever happen :\
Another?
*OC said, gripping their fourth coffee in a shaking hand*
Load More Replies...It doesn't make you anxious when your brain doesn't make enough happy hormones. When I have "too much" caffeine I just feel happy.
I have had this same conversation with my sheep. Or maybe he's the cloud. Not sure. 😆
Choc-Mint
I'm allergic to mint and love mint chocolate chip ice cream. It's the one mint thing I thoroughly enjoy
Would need something stronger than ice cream if that happened to me, like a great lawyer!!
Choc mint is the best. Apart from the time I got one that tasted like toothpaste :(
My choc brownie is even better than mint choc chip... but so difficult to find anymore.
Matcha
I'm sorry, but I had some badly made matcha once, and I hate the taste of it now...😩
Flowers Are Lazy Gifts
Me Or
Well, if you bring me into the position to decide between you and coffee you are propably not a good friend to begin with ;)
might get downvoted for this but... all of y'all are addicted to caffeine and it's not even a joke. the withdrawal from that stufff is literally so bad, i had the only genuinely suicidal thought i've ever had during a caffeine withdrawal and literally. nothing. made. me. happy. for almost two weeks. soooo maybe wean yourself off of caffeine if you can cause seriously you guys have issues. sorry for the dark subject change but it needed to be said.
Don't : "it's the coffee or me" Do : "your addiction impacts our relationship, i'm suffering from it. I want to help you work on it, but I can't keep up if things dont change"
I once had a Valentine's day coffee cup that said I LOVE YOU MORE THAN COFFEE* then in fine print *I actually don't love anyone more than coffee, but it's the thought that counts, right?
Clouds dont have the sort of emotions sheep have ..I knew this back when the poor sheep felt worthless...I mean the cloud was there for the sheep...but I could tell it truly didnt understand.

Favourite Dinosaur?
I just answer velociraptor to avoid stigma, but in my heart I’m all about Dunkleosteus and bear dogs.
I wanted to say just one, but I can't choose between baryonyx and utahraptor
Bug Wants A Hug
Why did the sheep call the lady bug a lady bird? I am assuming it is not a typo
Cockroaches can spread disease...and survive an apocalypse. Not a fan of them personally, but I'll admit they have some interesting attributes.
I had Madagascar hissing cockroaches and they're so cute with their little attitude 😍
Consistency
don't treat yourself with junk food, instead maybe a trip or something special :)
Take Asses
Do you know where those buns have been? (Though in hindsight you'd probably rather not know).
Bird Ownership
And if I open his cage up to let him out, he hissed at me and stays inside :( . He likes music though
That usually means a bird has been mistreated. Put the bird in a smaller room,keep the cage open, slowly learn it's trust before you try to pet it. Not all pets are like dogs.
As a bird owner, I second this! I have a rescue Aftican Grey and she used to be really aggressive and kept to herself, but after a little bonding with her, she's allowed me to give her head rubbies and even hold her a bit
Load More Replies...Our bird hates to be off his perch, however we take the top part that his perch hangs on off and move it around. He likes that, gets a different view and still gets to keep his perch. The only way to get him off his perch is to let him sit on the towel rack and watch us from there.
No need to cage them, they return to their home automatically. Not wild, they've been domesticated since before the chicken. They like you and will hang out with you (well, most of them will lol) and there are hundreds of breeds/colors. One of the most satisfying critters I've ever kept around the house.

Load More Replies...Cauliflower Rice
I love raw cauliflower. I could eat an entire head of raw cauliflower. I've never had riced cauliflower, though. Should I be scared? XD
Idk, I haven't had it either. My mom does make really good cauliflower with garlic tho!
Load More Replies...Thank you for being the only person to agree with me that riced cauliflower is GROSS. And I like cauliflower. But riced cauliflower? Somehow cursed af
The trick to making riced cauliflower taste good is to dry it out as much as possible in a hot pan. You can add some butter or oil for flavor, but you really want to cook off as much water out of the cauliflower as you can. Then you can use the seasonings of your choice, but you have to add a little moisture back into the cauliflower (water is fine, but chicken or vegetable stock is better). The cauliflower absorbs that moisture back into it, only now it's drawing in your seasonings as well. You'll still know it's cauliflower, but it won't have that very forward cauliflower flavor anymore. It's great as a side dish with some other mixed vegetables, or as a stir fry.

Agreed, misleading for sure! Sincerest apologies. Follow me on IG; I promise to include more knife-wielding ducks in future comics <3
