      But they are all so ugly.

      I haven’t seen a single one that I thought was funny.

      Assuming you mean, I have to take myself less seriously. I make fun of myself all the time. I am, by practice, one of the least serious people I know. I just don’t like the art and every caricature I’ve seen is in this style.

      Do people actually like caricatures or is it just a thing that sticks around because they were famous, like clowns and mimes?

        A well done caricature can be funny and cute. Unfortunately there are a lot of artists that, while good, can’t read the room. The trick seems to be not to overly pick on characteristics that will hurt, without balancing them out.

        Oh and a good group of clowns can be excellent. I saw some at a circus, and they pulled off slapstick perfectly.

        A mime once trapped me in an invisible box. I was trapped for days…

        Maybe they hang it up in their bedroom to raise the difficulty settings on their sex life.

        I got my caricature done once as a kid and I’m still recovering. If he’d done me up like this I’d never fuck again.
