Brian Michael Bendis has, though his entire career, included gags in police stations where people would be getting carted into jail and be someone dressed like a superhero or whatever. That's Bendis being carried away, and the women are in Ms. Martian costumes. Bleeding Cool (sigh) has a gallery of them. The Captain Universe panel is Jonathon Hickman.

Also, looking it up, the guys carrying him away are the artist and colorist of Defenders.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.

The person being arrested is Brian Michael Bendis, who wrote the issue and also has been writing scenes of crazy people getting arrested into his comics for apparently 17 years. I think it started in Ultimate Spider-Man.

To expand on this slightly, the people getting arrested in the previous comics were often dressed as Super Heroes (I seem to recall a Captain Marvel look alike specifically), spouting "nonsense" about the end of the world and a coming reckoning, etc. Except, as it turns out, they were predicting things that were going to happen in the big event leading up to Secret Wars a few years back, where the Marvel Multiverses were being systematically destroyed.

There must be a collection of them somewhere, but a quick google didn't land for me.

EDIT: Beaten and linked, but the Ms Marvel costume is the best, and technically was the one talking about the "convergence."
2nd: And wow, I missed that post by a whole half hour. I'm bad at this.

The Marvel Multiverses were being systematically destroyed? Isn't that literally the 80s DC Crisis plot? Or was the Marvel event some kind of wry commentary?

Excuse me, but in the DC Crisis, skies turned red when a universe was being destroyed while in Marvel's... huh.

The big difference is that DC made a miniseries of the multiverse being destroyed, while the Marvel story took place in Avengers/New Avengers, and culminated with the entire multiverse being destroyed, including 616 and Ultimate. Doomworld was built from chunks of earths Doom glued together, while post-Crisis earth was the last few universes merging. Also Marvel made it immediately clear there was a new multiverse following Secret Wars and that everything on the micro level (i.e. character histories) was essentially the same, with differences only really appearing on a cosmic level. Post-Crisis DC intentionally made large, sweeping changes across the board, and avoided having a multiverse for 20 years.

That gag made me glare at my comic once when it appeared, massively out of place in the story. Even as a fan of dadaist or nonsensical humor it just fell flat.

It was funny the first few times though!
