Desperate Dan.

Remember Desperate Dan? The cartoon in The Dandy comic?

Why was he called Desperate Dan? I don't remember desperation being one of his personality traits.

What I remember about him was that he was incredibly strong, had a massive chest, dressed like a cowboy, and loved to eat cow pies (which always had horns sticking out of them).

I don't remember him in any way being desperate.

For anything.

Ever.

So why was he called Desperate Dan?!
