Are these Delirium stories from The Sandman #21 discussed elsewhere in comics?

In The Sandman #21, Delirium briefly discusses two humans that she had encountered (supposedly in recent history). There was a man who wanted to kiss her, who she made to see only "pretty colors" (p 14), and a girl who will "always be happy for ever and ever and ever" (p 17).

"I met this guy in this club in - somewhere. This club. Late at night. I don't know where it was. He wanted to kiss me. But I don't like to be touched. So I did this stuff to him, so he saw only colors. Real pretty colors, though. ...pretty."

"I met this little girl and she said she thought I was pretty. She was SO nice. So I DID something to here. Something so she'll always be happy. Always be HAPPY for EVER and EVER and EVER."

(Somehow, I doubt the little girl is better off after her encounter with Delirium. I'm picturing something like Joker gas.)

Are these stories told more fully elsewhere in comics (either in the "Sandman Library" or in other comics)?
