Desperate Dan

Desperate Dan, hero of DC Thomson's ‘The Dandy' comics, is immortalised in Dundee, his place of ‘birth'.

The grizzly-faced strong man is cast in an 8-ft tall bronze statue in the city centre alongside his ‘Dawg'.

Also on the High Street is Minnie the Minx, of Beano fame, once labelled 'The World's Wildest Tomboy'
