Very helpful feedback, thank you. Did you know you can create your own (less sh*tty) caricature at my homepage (peterdevos.com)? The first resume you link to is based on a standard resume template featuring C'thulhu (http://css-tricks.com/one-page-resume-site/), I wanted a more personal approach but I guess I pushed it too far for your taste.
Tried it and it made me smile - you're much prettier than me, so I take my comment back referring to your drawing as sh*tty. Just wanted to illustrate what was happening in my head. I know it's very subjective anyway, so please don't take it personal.
Regarding my first link, I didn't know it was based on a template and I doubt many recruiters will know as well. Just thought it's one example of an easy to scan resume.
