Yeah, I echo jducoeur's comment here. Was he really a Jackie Chan modern martial-arts type in the original comic? From 40 years ago? Okay, if you say so. But given the treatment of Orientals (and similar peoples, like the Inuit Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku from GL) during that era, I'm really surprised. The canonical example here is Chop-Chop from the Blackhawks, but one could also cite the Green Hornet's man Friday, Kato. Kato at least had some grit, and Pieface was a highly competent mechanic, but still, they were subservient sideline players. Chop-Chop was offensive even to 12-year-old me in 1961; I remember feeling that was wrong.
