What is a caricature?
“a picture, description, etc., ludicrously exaggerating the peculiarities or defects of persons or things,” www.dictionary.com.
“Caricature is the distorted presentation of a person, type, or action. Commonly, a salient feature or characteristic of the subject is seized upon and exaggerated, or features of animals, birds, or vegetables are substituted for parts of the human being, or analogy is made to animal actions. Generally, one thinks of caricature as being a line drawing and meant for publication for the amusement of people to whom the original is known; the personal trait is usually present,” https://www.britannica.com/art/caricature-and-cartoon.
