Mention the word 'caricatures' as entertainment to some people and watch their face screw up. Their experience is mostly based around being forced by their parents to sit for a caricature on a promenade somewhere and have their teenage phobias recorded on paper for the whole world to laugh at for the rest of their lives. As more mature adults we are far more comfortable in our own skin but even so bad memories endure and few people relish the prospect of revisiting that experience.
