Chibi Chibi Lain: The Empire Strikes Back (ちびちびレイン 帝国の逆襲）is a series of six five (?) humorous 4-panel comic strips by Yoshitoshi ABe. (Sources appear to conflict over whether there are five or six strips.) They feature a chibified Lain in ridiculous situations, generally acting cute and/or vulnerable. They appeared in the original Restore booklets packaged with Geneon Universal's 2010 Japanese release of Serial Experiments Lain Blu-ray BOX|RESTORE. (that's the thin booklet that documents the restoration process, not the fat one with the sketches.) Funimation's 2012 Limited-Edition BD+DVD release came with an English-translated version of the Restore booklet that did not include the comics.
