I've tried a couple of sites that let you cartoon yourself and the one I like best is mywebface.com.It's very easy to use, simple instructions, gives you lots and lots of options, and lets you download the image to your computer in several variations.
This is a full-size cartoon of me.

Here is the head shot.

A couple of things you should know:
- If you want to reaccess your image (and you will), you DO want to register and set up an account.
- You'll have to agree to place their toolbar on your browser. This is not a big deal. It doesn't replace your current toolbar, it adds one beneath it.
- When you add the toolbar, it will change your current default search engine to theirs. This is also not a big deal. You can easily change it back using the image icon up by your search field.
You can easily add your cartoon to Facebook, Twitter, IM, etc. They have buttons that will do it for you, or you can download it to your computer, then upload it to the various places you need an icon/avatar.

This is way cool! And so much better than putting a photo online for stalkers to tuck under their pillows at night. :)
