Dastardly's probably my favorite classic animation villain around, and seems to be a founder for flashy, flamboyant, self-absorbed baddies who were loved by the audience rather than hated.
Loved so much, in his case, that he got his own spinoff series, Dick Dastardly and Muttley and Their Flying Machines. I think this might make Dastardly one of the earliest villain protagonists, which is wicked cool.
Have you ever seen the Great Race? It's got a villain called Professor Fate (played by Jack Lemmon) who was a big inspiration for Dick Dastardly's personality and character...and he had an awesome moustache, too.
Some choice clips, I thoroughly recommend the film as it's practically a live action version of Wacky Races: [link] [link] [link]

Wrong? Not at all, your love for the menacing men of the mustache is a refreshing break from the internet's typical brand of brooding prettyboy fangirls.
No problem, I hope you get to see and enjoy it! You should hopefully have an easier job of finding a copy than I did, they don't sell it in the UK so my girlfriend had to import a copy from the States.

Excited Nick: Normal?! NORMAL?!?! What is normal?...
Leadership Nick: See, it's that thing where people act like eachother - it's really boring.
Excited Nick: Apparently - pfft. Normal, hah!
I really want to see it now though. Thanks for the recommendation!
Feh. Waluigi is Dick reincarnated to pay for his past karma. Why do you think the blue shell loves to hit him so?
(Does this mean Wario was Muttley?)
