I think this is my favorite:
Mr. Denburg
A serious question:
When an image is involved (and critical to the humor), is it still a pun? Or is there a better word to describe this?
I ask because a pun relies on the similarity between multiple (usually two) words with different meanings.
How does this relate to pictures?
Any thoughts?

When it's a visual pun.
Thank you Anna. So, to answer my original question, this has no special label. It is simply a pun (created with a visual element).
Does this qualify under that definition, then?
