Desperate Dan is a wild west character in the British comic The Dandy. He is apparently the world's strongest man, able to lift a cow with one hand. Desperate Dan's favourite food was cow pie - a type of enormous meat pie with the horns sticking out. Initially Dan was a desperado on the wrong side of the law, hence the name Desperate Dan. Later on, however, he switched sides and become a friendlier character, helping the underdog.
