Then all of a sudden she decided to put her head phone cord over her upper lip in the shape of a fu man chu. I instantly thought of the Iron Man arch enemy, Mandarin. You know, the asian wizard with 10 rings that give him ultimate power. Its actually funny because if you look at each <a title=\"Mandarin powers\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mandarin_(comics)#Powers_and_abilities\" target=\"_blank\">power<\/a>, he really only needs one or two to totally obliterate Iron Man and yet he loses every time.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after seeing her with her new short hair, fake fu man chu, and squinty face, I decided I just had to exaggerate and illustrate that face. Its not as exaggerated as my other drawings of my girlfriend but the character definitely doesn&#8217;t look too much like her. He reminds me of the Indian side kick in the old Johnny Quest cartoon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-209\" title=\"Fu Man Chu\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/img026.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/img026.jpg 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/img026-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing up Chinese stereotypes, I decided to transform a funny face my girlfriend gave me today into a total fu man chu cliche. <a href=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/stereotypes\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[40,72],"class_list":["post-208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-illustration","tag-china","tag-stereotype"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions\/211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
