One word to it.
It is all a matter of taste.
The fact that it is much easier to do a caricature of an image instead of creating a realistic or close to real life image doesn't apply here.
With that said. If you think as a graphic designer you can do what ever you want and call it art. But you have to be quite good to be able to pass something on the borderline of professional as real art.
The fact that the panels are stretched bitmaps and everything seems strangely out of proportion COULD look good if it was done intentionally, and with great care.
I think the idea of exaggerating something to make it look more literal (as the sound with the relation of the size of the panels.) is a valid idea. But the way it has been done it needs great improvement. It needs much more care to look that it has been done intentionally an not by mistake.
As one of my graphic designer teachers used to say. If you do something don't just make it, make it stand. Meaning that your image is ALMOST close to the real thing and it simply looks out of proportion. If you are making a caricature, push it a little further. It really doesn't strike me as a well thought out image.
I hope it helps to give you some insight on what a few people here were talking about.
