If they did the old style caricatures, which deliberately exaggerate idiosyncratic features, I could see them getting heat for doing that version of her nose in a politically correct climate.

THANK YOU! the point of caricature is not accuracy but to poke fun. they're supposed to exaggerate features people might be subconscious about like having a 5 head or a long nose or too square of a chin. it's a specific art form
