Parody...travesty...burlesque...
If I were to take a page from a comic and blank out all the speech balloons and write in my own words in a way that parodies the original - what's that? I'd say a travesty.

My sense of a "travesty" is generally of an unintentional parody, something that fails to function like what it purports to be because of carelessness, incompetence, or malice, rather than satirical intent, on its creator's part.

Though they overlap, and it isn't uncommon for a work to be all three at once, I'd distinguish parody, travesty, and burlesque thus:
A parody involves imitation of the original. Thus the Imitation H

The slight problem is that if one published it saying, "Here is my parody of ***", it may sound as if one drew the drawings as well.
