picture books for adults

I was wondering, is it possible to make picture books for adults?

I mean, at first it's a laughable idea, but then you can see the practical side- some adults don't have time to read, and a picture book, with simple pictures, reasonable amount of words, and a deep double meaning... would it work?

what excites me the most is the deep double meanings...

give me your opinions!

@Debbie - Not exactly what I had in mind, but I DO enjoy those- but the art there has to be good... you get what I mean?

What I was thinking was- like, random pictures in the corners of pages, and they hold a clue to some mystery or something, yet not in an obvious way... (Do you get me?)

Would this be like graphic novels? Manga? etc?

They can be very enjoyable :)
