Where Health Meets Humor!

Hi, I’m Donna Dager. I create comics and illustrations that explore the emotional and human side of healthcare—from caregiving and mental health to aging and life transitions.

Through humor, empathy, and visual storytelling, I aim to make health-related topics feel more relatable, approachable, and real. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, educator, medical professional, or just curious, I hope you’ll find something here that speaks to you.

About the Cartoonist

I’m an artist and storyteller who creates comics and illustrations exploring medical, emotional, and human experiences—often with a touch of humor or empathy.

Years ago, I began experimenting with medical cartooning as a way to make complicated or sensitive topics more approachable. After a long break, I’m returning to this field with fresh energy, inspired by the growing movement of Graphic Medicine and the power of visual storytelling to bridge gaps between patients, caregivers, and professionals.

I’m especially drawn to stories around mental health, caregiving, and life transitions—but I’m open to exploring a wide range of subjects. My goal is always to make information feel clear, relatable, and emotionally honest.

Thanks for visiting—I’m always open to collaborations, commissions, or just a conversation.

ory, shedding light on aging or dementia, or just making someone smile during a tough time, I want my work to help people connect, reflect, and feel a little less alone.

Why I Do This

I believe that stories—and especially visual stories—can help people feel seen, understood, and empowered. Medical cartooning combines my love of art with a deep respect for the human experiences behind diagnoses, treatments, and health challenges.

Whether I’m illustrating a patient’s story, shedding light on aging or dementia, or just making someone smile during a tough time, I want my work to help people connect, reflect, and feel a little less alone.
