Huh. I knew the name Snidely Whiplash, and I knew about the character that tied girls to railroad tracks, but it was today that I learned that those are the same guy. I always thought Dastardly was Whiplash, despite having grown up on wacky races.

Snidely would have been apropos. Just a dick for the pure satisfaction of being a dick. Dastardly at least had sensible motive and fairly apt reasoning.
