I'm a huge animation fan, so I admit I'm a bit biased, but how about this:
A picture of Wile E. Coyote sitting to the left of a hugely complicated
machine marked "Roadrunner Trap" and he is reading a book called "How to
Catch a RoadRunner". On the right of the machine is the Roadrunner reading a
book (propped up on rock) called "How to Avoid Roadrunner Traps".
More to come as I think of them...

Be seeing you,
