Dirty Dan was pictured on Hi-Speed maps and ink blotters. That is the only use of him I have ever seen.

Here is little bit of information about Dirty Dan.

The cartoon character Dirty Dan the Carbon Man was created for the Pocahontas Oil Company from Cleveland, Ohio. It was used for advertising their “Solvenized Blue Flash” gasoline. Which was an additive designed to dissolve carbon in your engine. It was from the Lubrizol Company. Hickok Oil (Hi-Speed) bought out Pocahontas about 1934-35. Hickok did not advertise it’s gasoline as “Solvenized” they used “Ex- Carbon” instead. Since Pure was a minor owner of Hickok Oil…. Pure Oil adopted the “Solvenized” process for their advertising. The rest is Hickok Oil and Pure Oil history.

I'll send you some pure oil photos with the dirty dan super solvenized signs. I'm pretty sure they were made of cardboard. There was a guy who posted a sign on here for the pure COTM back in 2007. It had dirty dan on it and on the bottom had Purol-Pep super solvenized. Thanks for posting the cool ad!
