Puniddles (1982) by Bruce and Brett McMillan is an inventive children's picture book that introduces a playful format combining visual riddles and wordplay. The word "puniddle" merges "pun" and "riddle."

The book presents readers with pairs of black-and-white photographs of everyday objects or scenes. When the two visual clues are combined, they form a literal or obvious clue that leads to a humorous, pun-based solution. The book is structured as an interactive game meant to challenge young readers to deduce the punny answer behind each photographic pairing.

Punography (1978) by Bruce A. McMillan is a humorous, vintage photography book that explores the intersection of wordplay and visual media by translating common idioms, clichés, and expressions into literal photographic interpretations.

Published by Penguin Books/Viking Press, the 80-page volume presents a playful, comedic catalog of "picture puns." Rather than utilizing text riddles, McMillan relies on crisp black-and-white photographs to give surprising, literal meanings to well-known phrases. Featured examples in the book include visual depictions of classic expressions like "shooting the breeze," "making a clean breast of it," "a fork in the road," and "playing it by ear," inviting the audience to engage with language through a uniquely literal and witty visual lens.
