Nope.  Here a simple algorithm.  Suppose the left half has already been
sent.  Then take a copy of the left image, cut out the plaintext in
bubble letters of the like, slide it over, and fill in the holes with
more random dots.  Now you have the right side image.  It's not
difficult at all.  It's just a lot of info to transmit over secure
lines!!!
