Desperate Dan striding along the street outside H Samuel Jewelers retail store in Dundee; UK
Tourist sitting beside Desperate Dan having her photograph taken on a sunny September Dan the Cactusville cowboy character is a mighty fine mixture of strength, stamina and stupidity. Since he was a baby, Dan was surely destined to be a cowboy, with his six-shooter water pistols, ten-gallon baby bonnet and matchin' TWELVE-gallon nappy, spurs on his booties an' his horse-drawn he grew up he grew stronger, cos of the cow-pies cooked up by his Aunt Aggie. Not even Dan knows the secret recipe (though ah reckon one of the ingredients might just be cow). At school, Dan broke records in gym class for bein' strongest, fastest an' fittest. He also broke the gym class an' most of the school buildin' when his skippin' started an earthquake an' his divin' created a tidal wonderin' what the "Desperate" stands for in "Desperate Dan"? Dan's best friend is his Dawg, the hardiest hound around. Between them, they aim to make the Wild West a whole lot wilder! The strip was drawn by Dudley D. Watkins until his death in 1969.
