For anybody looking for attribution, this comic no longer exists. It was called Pictures for Sad Children, and it’s essentially lost media now after the creator had some issues and took everything (including IA backups) offline.

Do you know if that's all of it? According to wikipedia, there was a book that someone was mailing around to anyone who wanted to read it and eventually people scanned it.

Holy damn I just couldn't stop reading.

Oh my god I didn't know it was still up anywhere. I regret not getting a copy of the book way back when but I was a student and had no money. It was a very good comic.

Ahhh thanks for this!! For years I've specifically tried to find a comic about a cloud... Very simple but really affected me emotionally. Just a drawing of a cloud over and over with captions like "this is a cloud I drew" "I hope you like it" "I hope it makes your day better" or something.

99% sure this is the author. I thought I was going crazy since nothing ever gets deleted from the Internet, so I also appreciate the explanation.

About to dive into the archive someone else posted now to find i that cloud.
