I Created 14 Comics About Healthcare Workers That Will Warm Your Heart
To show respect for our tireless healthcare workers, I started creating short stories/comics inspired by real-life stories of what these Healthcare Heroes are experiencing every day.
Stories of despair. Stories of courage. And most importantly, stories of hope.
And I drew them all, using clear and simple drawings so that more of us can see these stories of heroism.

We can all be heroes in our own ways
Thank You

Heroes are humans too
The darkest storms paint the brightest rainbows
Many pregnant healthcare workers are on the front line every day, battling COVID-19 to fight for a better future
Woof woof

Beautiful stories. We can all get through this with the help of those brave nurses.
Thank you! Yes, we should all hear more stories of what our courageous healthcare heroes are going through every day.

These are so cute! I love the art style and the messages that come through in each strip.
Thank you so much for liking them :) I wanted to drew them slightly cuter so the characters can come across more likable :)

A hero is not someone without weakness. A true hero is someone willing to push through to better the world despite weakness.
AGREE! And we can't thank our healthcare heroes enough! Humans like the rest of us, yet with "superhuman" strength and courage.

The best ways to thank these people: 1) Pay yhem good wages, 2) Keep up with all the precautions.
Probably should do some sort of debt forgiveness for those who risked their lives too.

I cried...these posts are true, we have got to do more than just thank these people though. We have to stay home to stop the spread.
Glad the stories touched your heart! And yes, we can all play a part in stopping the spread, by practicing social distancing and staying at home. Every little effort helps.

This is wonderful, and painful. Doctors, nurses, caregivers of all kind are human. It hurts to watch someone die... and they are being there for all of us while it isn't safe for the rest of us to be there. I'll say this: words are cheap... actions are what matter. Help the people on the front lines. Talk to local politicians and lobby for more PPE. Even just give these folks a call... grief is exhausting, and our doctors and nurses need people to listen to them.
YES! They are the real heroes! Ordinary human, yet with extraordinary strength and courage!

Wow. I had to wait a bit before reading a new one. They are too strong... They are great. Love your style...

Thank you for sharing the perspective of a health worker in this hard time - that's needed. And it's so well drawn and expressed. And thank you, all health workers dealing with COVID-19 patients (and potential patients), for your effort and dedication in helping others, even when you too are suffering and are putting yourself at a higher risk (by working in the front lines).
Thank you so much for liking them :) Our healthcare heroes are going through so much every single day, and more people should hear their side of the stories to truly understand the challenges!

I like that the person cleaning the hospital room was thanked as well. These are lovely, made me tear up.
Thank you for liking them :) And yes, the "invisible" healthcare workers (cleaners, drivers, porters etc) are usually forgotten by many of us.

Gosh these are the best... To all the doctors, self-isolators, nurses, quarantined teachers, and essential workers, thank you for everything you've done to our world. I wish everyone health, safety, and strength during this pandemic

It makes you stop and think, again, about all the people that have very few choices of how to spend their time right now. Bless all of them!
Yes! It is a huge sacrifice that many of these healthcare professionals have to make, to risk their lives and even be apart from their family members to ensure their safety. I hope we can all play a part by being socially responsible like wearing masks and practicing social distancing.

I volunteer as a patient advocate.I work for patients, and families. I also have advanced first aid/CPR certs, and completed medical school. I've had to deal with protestors, been pressed into service as a nurse helper just to give a spare pair of hands, and more. Gone the days translating Medical Into English and guiding angry/upset people to help. Last week one of our docs attempted suicide. OUr hospital serves 7 counties. We're in bad shape in good times. Now? Your post caught a lot of the emotions. Even registration personnel. Security. We're still going in. And buy us some extra kleenex. We need 'em. Peace. Out.

I think most people forgot about environmental services/housekeeping dept in the hospital. They are also doing there very best and very much exposed. Thumbs up to these for illustrating it.
