When I look at Paul Ryan

I see a face that is dominated by dead eyes and - somehow more disturbing- a mouth that just looks like some sort of defensive barrier. There are no smile lines, no apple cheeks, and a frequently arrogantly lifted chin. Just all negative with no glimmer of joy or even just good humor. Ack. Scary.

by their physical characteristics... But I really think facial tensions are readable.

The smile never got to his eyes, either, and what he was selling turned out to be snake oil.

i thought his clothes were too big , but they talked about how he works out and shit so i think it 's his head is just small.

he does have the typical usual republican mouth though. the thin/no lips stern mouth.

Beautiful people can become ugly once you get to know them. It all depends what's inside.

it could be that I know his name is Ryan and I'm projecting, who knows. Or does he really have Irish features?

My first time to post. Hope this works. I've had this cartoon character in mind ever since I first saw Ryan and his numerous charts and graphs.

Riff Raff, from "Underdog", has similar eyes to Ryan, and a widow's peak. He, like Ryan, uses his hands a great deal. Thanks for viewing.
