I'm puzzled by the existence of a character named Disco Dan in the 1880s! I'm reading it just to figure out why he's called that. Could be a time traveler?

[The following is a re-post of an earlier comment which seems never to have made it into "print."] Your question about Disco Dan piqued my curiosity. I Googled extensively looking for a 19th century use of "disco" and found only references to a certain 1970s cultural phenomenon. The summary of one (and only one) search result seemed to suggest "disco" referred to tight-legged trousers. In true Google fashion, the page itself made no mention of either trousers or discotheques. I suspect the summary somehow conflated "19th century" with "disco pants," which are still sold all over the Internet. I did learn that in the late 1800s a "daisy dude" described a man who dressed in an extremely fancy manner. From this the term morphed into a slur for a male homosexual. I'll keep poking around. I'd really like to know how Disco Dan got his name.

I also tried searching. One interesting find was a place called Disco, named because the area was flat like a discus. On the other hand, perhaps disco was just a shortening of a longer word like discover. If Disco Dan is a detective that might be fitting. Later in the 1940's, I believe Hyper Comics had a Disco the Boy Detective.
