What Do You Call this Linguistic Twist?

Are these maybe sandhee (putting together) in reverse, or perhaps mondegreens (misinterpreting combined words) backwards? I don’t know the official name for what this comic is doing. Maybe one of you actual experts out there can enlighten me.
You can look up sandhee and mondegreen by putting each word in the search box.
Useful lesson: I used “each” because you need to look them up one at a time. If I had used “both,” that would have implied putting both words in the search field at once, and that won’t work.
