His name is later seen again in the episodes "The Nitwitting" and "Handemonium" and The Patrick Star Show episode "I Smell a Pat."
Description
It is unknown what he looks like, but judging by how SpongeBob portrays him, Dirty Dan possibly wears a big beige cowboy hat with a dark brown band.
Many believe Dirty Dan was supposed to refer to Dan Schneider, however this is just speculation and not confirmed.
