Here is Lunch Break, a whimsical tale by John Adams, collected in Star Wars Tales vol. 4 (the bestest Star Wars comic series evar so of course it didn't sell. There are 6 volumes total. Collect them all).

The two troopers who have been reading the diary try to play it cool:
Yup, that trooper is so dead.

Hilarious and bittersweet - poor Vader.
Hey, who did that story? The artwork at least reminds me of Rob Osbourne.
John Adams (credited at the top of the post there) wrote and drew that story.
