How are we able to recognize caricatures when the faces are completed morphed out of shape?

I’m about talking caricatures like [these](https://grepless.com/c/pictures/the-50-most-brilliant-celebrity-caricatures). The faces are completely morphed out of shape, yet our brains have little trouble figuring out who they are.

Most caracature drawings focus on key details that set the subject apart or identify them and emphasize those details. Facial hair, signature clothing like a hat or glasses, hair styles, etc. Often making them exaggerated or otherwise highlighted, so our brains. Also, it has to be someone you already recognize, so that you can translate those exaggerated details to a memory of an actual person.
