THIS WILL BE HELPFUL IF YOU’RE MUGGED BY A TOON:

Researchers in the UK have found that police artists would be better off drawing cartoon caricatures of criminals rather than using the standard realistic pictures they now create. A study from the University of Central Lancashire found that cartoon-like faces were far better at jogging a person’s memory of the original face. The experiment showed that a standard police sketch brought a correct identification 20 percent of the time, while the caricatures worked 40 percent of the time. (The Guardian)
