Do you see the hidden characters? (3 images)

This is a great poster series by Lowe/SSP3, an ad agency in Bogota, Columbia, for Colsubsidio.  The series is titled Come With a Story and Leave With Another and each poster features a character from a popular book along with a second character hidden within the first.
