Two possible causes:

a) Squid is not a web server.

or

b) The links you use for referring to the images is not correct.

The images needs to be hosted on a web server of yours, and the links
needs to be absolute URLs where those images can be found.

The error pages isn't real pages in their own. It's just the error
text/html content Squid shows instead of the requested data if there is
a problem. To the browser the error page is displayed in context of the
requested URL, and any relative links is relative to the requested URL,
not where the Squid error template happens to be on the proxy server
harddrive..
