A Variation on a Homonym
It's not a homonym; it is a drawmonym.
From one of my favorite cartoonists, John Atkinson at Wrong Hands.
A visual homonym: drawings that look the same but have different meanings.

I like your pictures and find them funny. I never gave much thought to how pictures could look the same but have different meanings. I guess it is true, a picture is worth a thousand words.
A new take on Roger Price's inimitable (or perhaps here flagrantly imitable) droodles? Remember '4 elephants inspecting a grapefruit', fat Mexican down a well' etc.?
