in one to two sentences explain the difference between a homophonic pun and a Homographic pun

A homophonic pun relies on words that sound the same but have different meanings, such as "I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough." On the other hand, a homographic pun uses words that are spelled the same but have different meanings, like "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."
