Etymology[edit]

Dastardly Dirk's English name is a reference to the Hanna-Barbera character Dick Dastardly, a mustache-twirling villain who has appeared in various animated series, most prominently being the 1968 cartoon Wacky Races, where he often cheated and used devious tricks against his opponents.
