That is an example of caricature because the woman's eyes, ears, and hair are being overly exaggerated. There is no possible way her ears can have smoke coming out of them or that her eyes are lasers.
Our teacher was different . He always wore bright yellow shoes, and pants that were so tight around his belly that we wondered if he would pop out of them. His shirts were always so dirty they looked like they had been dragged through mud before he wore them. But he was great at teaching. It seemed like he had been teaching for millions of years.
This is caricature because they are very vividly describing the teacher and his characteristics. They describe things such as his shoes, shirt, pants, and teaching style.
