I can never remember the names of the different genera of clouds (Also, I wasn't aware clouds were classified by genus, thanks Wikipedia!) so I thought if I drew them up, I'd have a better chance of remembering them:



I think I put the strato-cumulus too high. Also, I probably didn't need to illustrate fog. Fog I know. Anyway, I may keep this in my wallet.

Judging by my comics, you'd think cumulus was the only cloud that existed.

Nice!

For what it's worth, illustrating fog is totally necessary if it's going to be kept in a wallet. Because you may need to refer to the drawing to discern between fog and cataracts.

If you can't see the drawing it's cataracts. If you can see the drawing, but not the other side of the street it's either fog or extreme nearsightedness, with a side order of light cataracts.

Cumulonimbus is the mightiest hunter of the Cloud tribe.

Until 1908, Landfall Day was observed on the second Sunday in May to commemorate the landing of Cumulonimbus on the isthmus of Baja in 1394, and thus the discover of America. On May 9th, 1907, Anne Marie Jarvis of West Virginia celebrated the first contemporary American occurrence of Mothers Day on the anniversery of her own Mother's death.

The following year, in 1908, Jarvis and her large following of supporters, chose the second Sunday in May, as the day that we would from thence forth remember as Mother's Day.

With the emerging popularity of Mother's over globe exploring hunters composed mostly of water vapor, Landfall day rather quickly fell into obscurity and is now only celebrated in Jasper Wyoming.

That's absolutely brilliant. And fog is kinda like a punchline.
Next you need to do the layers of the earth, or the various cuts of meat. I can never keep those straight.

Or the parts of a vagina. I'd keep that in my wallet. Yeah!

Man, I feel like maybe doing one of these a week. I should take suggestions. Cuts of meat are a good idea.

Clouds are great and this is adorable. Way back when I was but a child, I used to have all of these memorized and was capable of recognizing them on sight. Unfortunately I lived in Denver and there are only three types of cloud and quickly forgot it all. I think your right and I need to relearn the cloud shapes.
