How to Tell the Difference Between a Metaphor, a Simile, and an Analogy

I wrote this comic in an attempt to teach myself the difference between a simile, a metaphor, and an analogy. It worked, as long as I read it again to remind myself on a regular basis. So, really, it didn’t work.

In one of my books I wrote, “I have no use for similes or metaphors. Similes are a smokescreen. Metaphors are like camouflage paint, designed to make one thing look like something else.”

It made my editor laugh out loud. I suspect she’s the only one.
