You've seen them. The artists in the mall or on the sidewalk that try to entice you to let them make a caricature of you. When I was a teenager my Mom and I had caricatures done at the mall and Dad hung them on the wall in our living room.... I wonder whatever happened to them?
Now you can get free apps that make a caricature of your photo... I made this one using the free MomentCam app for android.

Some of the earliest caricatures were drawn by Leonardo da Vinci c.1475. The first known North American caricatures were drawn in 1759 during the battle for Quebec by George Townshend.
It has forever been popular to see political cartoons in newspapers and magazines. Artists have been having a field day these past months! Who were cartoonists making caricatures of in the 19th and early 20th centuries?
