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

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.

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"

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. 

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.
