I like this by Jakub Rebelka (title Healer), the rest is worth checking out too. There’s a bit of a Duncan-Fegredo-does-Hellboy quality to his work.

The cards a cancer survivor wishes she’d received

card1

Los Angeles–based designer Emily McDowell was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 24, enduring nine months of chemo and radiation before going into remission.

“The most difficult part of my illness wasn’t losing my hair, or being erroneously called ‘sir’ by Starbucks baristas, or sickness from chemo,” McDowell writes on her website. “It was the loneliness and isolation I felt when many of my close friends and family members disappeared because they didn’t know what to say, or said the absolute wrong thing without realizing it.”

Emily is now cancer-free and has made a set of, quite frankly, amazing empathy cards.

Bill Watterson

One of the jokes I really like is that the fantasies are drawn more realistically than reality, since that says a lot about what’s going on in Calvin’s head.
