Some of the prints from the Laughable Magazine can be found in the British Museum and elsewhere; many relate to popular songs, for example, Black, Brown and Fair.

Tegg continued to advertise The Caricature Magazine heavily over the next few years,[5] and judging by the number of surviving prints from it, it had a relatively large circulation.

The wrapper was printed in black on front and back; the front had a woodblock vignette of four Lilliputian figures, surrounded by a letterpress inscription : 'The Caricature Magazine or Hudibrastic Mirror containing a most capital collection of Caricatures from original drawings by G.M.Woodward, Esq, Author of Eccentric Excursions in England and Wales and engraved by Mr Rowlandson, Author of the Laughable Magazine'.

Examples of the first sixteen issues of the Caricature magazine in their original wrappers survive in the Huntington Library Pasadena [6] and in the collection of William A Gordon of Glencoe, Illinois.

He served as an 'ideas man' for the magazine, making rough sketches of satires and devising jokes which were then transformed into etchings by Rowlandson and others.

Woodward had previously devised a large number of designs for caricatures for Samuel William Fores and others as well as to illustrate his own books such as Eccentric Excursions (1796).

[8] Although Rowlandson is given as the leading artist on the printed wrappers for the fortnightly issue in parts, in the first instance he appears to been merely lending his name to the project as an established 'brand'.

A comment on slavery is seen in William Elmes's two satires in comic strip form on West Indian plantation owners - The Adventures of Johnny Newcome.

They comment on a multitude of everyday subjects such as religion, [14] divorce, [15] doctors,[16] barbers,[17] servants,[18] eating, [19] dentistry,[20] prostitution, [21] sailors,[22] taxes,[23] etc., etc., throwing light onto on Georgian social customs and attitudes, as well as commenting on novelties in fashion such as the transgressive Dandyism, and technological innovations such as the Velocipede, forerunner of the modern bicycle.

The Caricature Magazine's widespread popularity made it influential in developing and spreading the formulas and conventions of modern mass-market comic illustration.
