* The entire graphic novel "Dee's Day," written by Derek Fridolfs, is this. The plot is essentially a play on the "It's A Wonderful Life" trope, in which Dexter wishes Dee Dee out of existence. At first he's content with this, but then begins to grow bored with his life... and then remorsefully tries to find his sister in a parallel dimension because he misses her. He does eventually find her, but she exists in a dimension where she doesn't know him, and he desperately tries to convince her to come home. Eventually she does, and the comic ends with the two of them genuinely bonding with each other, with Dee Dee teaching him how to dance.
