Something completely else

 

A fluffy cloud in a very slightly bird shape says "I wanted to become something completely else / Not just vaguely shaped like it".

Cloud thoughts

 

Pictured: clouds in a blue sky, two in the upper left background and one in the foreground. All have faces. The one in the foreground also has a thought bubble which reads, "Whoa. I bet my thoughts look like little versions of *me*."

Deliberateness

Person looks defiantly up at a cloud and says, "I'm immune to criticism because I'm doing it wrong on purpose!" The cloud looks down grumpily.

Recollection

 

A person calls up at a cloud, "Hey, cloud! Remember me?" The cloud replies, "I share the memory of all water. But you in particular? I got nothing."

Life plans

 

Person 1: You don't want to die a jaded, bitter husk! Person 2: No, I want to *live* a jaded, bitter husk.

Distances

A little stick figure peers over the edge of a cloud and says, "It's a long way down." The cloud replies, "Long way up, too."

Immediate environs

 

Three tiny clouds float in the vicinity of a surprised person's head. The two clouds on their left side are raining tinily. One of the clouds says, "Nice microclimate you've got here."

That which transpires below

One cloud, contorted in disgust and horror, shouts, "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Another, concerned, asks, "Whoa, what's wrong?" The first replies, "I just noticed what they're doing down there."

Please direct me

 

A large fluffy cloud with heavy greyness has stuffed one descending tendril into a trenchcoat and formed approximate arms and legs. The cloud has a face, which is placed way too high for its intended disguise. The cloud says, "Hello. I am looking for parade. I love to go to parade. For watching."

I am allowed to know the location. I am allowed to go to parade.

Eyes in the skies

 

From a looming cloud, a giant hand made of cloud emerges and points downward with its index finger. On the tip of the finger is an angry face that says, "I saw that".

Nothing good can come of this

 

Fluffy clouds hang in a still sky. Their surfaces contain lines that could be part of their shapes or could represent serene, satisfied faces with closed eyes. Bottom text: The clouds are so peaceful today. / What are they plotting? END

Buy it!

 

Two children play with large, cartoony cloud action figures. The clouds have faces that sort of glare. One kid makes the cloud say "You're doing it wrong!" and the other makes the other cloud reply "No, you're doing it wrong!" Bottom text reveals the image to be an advertisement: MEGA CLOUD ACTION PLAYSET / Sky sold separately. END

The forecast

 

A sky with fluffy clouds, each of which is partial as though cut in half, with the inside visible in slightly swirling cross section. Caption: Partly cloudy.

Cloud cover

 

Illustration: A person sits in the basket of a hot air balloon disguised as a cloud. The balloon floats among real clouds. The person writes in a notebook. Bottom caption: Mere days into the study, I believe the herd has accepted me as one of their own.

Though I do worry about the awkwardness to come when everyone else starts raining.

Huh

 

Person 1, pointing: Is that a question mark hovering over your head? Person 2, slumped and looking confused: Yeah. I don't get it.
 

Keep in mind that your booing will only make me stronger.

Compression

 

One person with an intense expression holds a large bottle that visibly trembles. Another person says, "Oh no! Your rage bottle is full!" The one holding the bottle says, "It's been full for a long time. The fun part is seeing how much the contents can be compressed."

The sky inside

 

A tiny cloud with an angry face has entered a room through an open window. A person wielding a broom attempts to shoo it back outside. The cloud hisses.

To fail

Thanks for the setup

 

Person 1: Do you know any dad jokes? Person 2, slumping sadly: Buddy, you're looking at one.

Go on without me

 

A snail lagging behind two others says, "Go on without me. I'll catch up eventually, probably, maybe". The others exchange an awkward, disbelieving glance.

And if not, I guess I'll see you in Snail Hell.

Unprepared

 

Two excited stick figures wear hats upside down on their heads and shout in unison: "Upside down hats! Upside down hats!" A third holds a hat in hands and says, "You go on ahead, fellas, but me, I'm not sure I'm prepared for this level of tomfoolery."

Profundity uncertainty

 

Panel 1 of 2: a person holds their chin, pensive-style, and thinks, "Am I having profound thoughts or is it just evocative nonsense?" Panel 2 of 2: We now see the person from behind; they sit on a stone and look down over a valley and low hills at the horizon where the sun is setting. Clouds above the sunset spell out the words "WHO CARES".

What I would like to know is

 

Grumpy-looking person with spiky face and/or facial hair (it's unclear!) sitting on steps: "We've been friends for a while now, & what I would like to know is, why?" Person lying on their back on the ground, gesturing with a floppy arm: "Eh...why not?"

Boring questions

 

Panel 1 of 2: A pensive person stands in a lumpy orange-red expanse under a black sky; everything is outlined in white. Superimposed text reads, "Where am I?" "What am I supposed to be doing?" These are boring questions. Panel 2 of 2: Now seen from behind, the same person stands looking at something that looks like a cross between a Tillandsia xerographica and an octopus. Superimposed text: "What is that thing?" "And does it want to be my friend?" Much better. END

Thanks question mark

 

Bird perched on a branch to human: "You know how sometimes it's endearing when someone knows very little? Of course not. / Anyway, I like you a lot and I'm glad you're here."

Invitation spurned

 

Person standing in open doorway: "Oh, hey, ghosts! I invite you to come in!" Ghost 1, looking miffed: "You're thinking vampires." Ghost 2, also annoyed: "We can go through any solid object." Ghost 1: "But now we don't want to." Ghost 2: "Yeah, we're put off by your ignorance."

Egress and ingress

 

Panel 1 of 2: One person with a hole in their forehead says to another, "Trepanation has many benefits. For one, it lets the ghosts out of my skull." The other replies, "Or in." Panel 2 of 2: A closeup of the face of the person with the hole in their head, an expression of shock and dread upon it.

I need it like I need a hole in the head

 

A person with a woodpecker perched on their head and a hole in their forehead points at the hole and the woodpecker, looking happy and excited. "Being friends with a woodpecker is great! I got this trepanning done for free!"

Friendship sounds rewarding. I keep meaning to try it sometime.

That's all we want

 

From a high angle looking down, a person stands under a few bare tree branches in which sit two birds. The person, distraught, says, "I just feel so weighed down by expectations". One bird replies, "We literally just want seeds." The other adds, "C'mon. Didn't you guys invent agriculture?"

Pretty sure ants did it first, actually.
