Was it maybe one of the Spy vs. Spy strips? I know there's an animated adaptation
of that strip.

No, that isn't. I disctinctly remember the picture came hidden in a book, and was played seriously. But thanks.

Sounds like something Lupin III would pull off.

I don't remember where I saw this scene. But it was someone in a prison receiving a book. Later the guards discover that he had escaped by cutting the window bars and enter his cell, but find out that he actually just put a picture of broken bars on his window (which was hidden in the book) and then takes the chance to lock the guards in and escape. I think it was an anime, but I don't actually remember anything else.
