Everyone, I mean, everyone has seen a caricature and laughed. If you haven’t you have absolutely no sense of humor. Yes, it’s a true test. One confirmed and scientifically certified by Ren and Stimpy. =) Well, they aren’t any real certifiable people, but they do have a cartoonish caricature appearance.What are caricatures? They are a depiction of a person or thing that has been exaggerated to accentuate the prominent features of their face, body, or a perspective that stands out has more than anything else.

It’s like putting exclamation points all over the things that you can’t stop staring at. It’s make sure you got a really good look because you can’t believe what you just saw. It’s trying not to laugh and still be respectful. There are so many wonderful, successful, and intelligent people that have said, including me, sometimes, that have said “if you can’t laugh at yourself, your a [moron]“.

Being creative takes a different kind of thinking; I almost wrote “a different kind of person”, but didn’t want to sound cliche. Because anyone can be creative. You have to take yourself out of reality and look at in a magnifying glass, chuckle, and get back in. Then it comes time to translate that into something that everybody would love to say, but doesn’t want to get into trouble with someone or stand out in the crowd.

Well, making a difference in the world requires standing out in the crowd. It doesn’t mean to be rude, or be condescending, or cruel. It means being polite, sensitive, respectful and being able to laugh at things that are out of place. Seeing things out of place make you human. It makes our experience here less normal.

Point is, enjoy life, laugh at yourself, enjoy your accentuated features. Please, help me to welcome someone that I think I am going to like for a very long time. Joe Bluhm. I have just ordered two books from the Art Squared Publishing company, one of them from Joe and I think they will be very very funny. I am going to compile a listing of some of the funniest caricatures I find. Enjoy.
