The most obvious similarities between these two pictures are their transparency and randomness - not only by how the subject matter is interpreted but also by the imagery itself.  While the second image has a colored background, both images mostly use black and white basic lines to show some depth and distance but are mostly two dimensional.  The biggest difference can be seen between the stasis of the top image and the activity present in the lower image.  The top image shows no signs of movement in the main image itself and its lack of a background makes it unclear whether the subject of the image is moving or not.  In the lower image, however, movement can clearly be seen.  It is most obvious with the stein in the driver's hand which is overflowing as it is being rocked forward.  While we cannot see the subject moving in relation to anything behind it, we can still tell that it is moving.
