Thing Happened the Other Day—described as "a coda" to the second series. Secretly, the hiatus was longer than advertised: Lord Snooty and His Pals reprints filled the third series run until 1964; some panels redrawn to replace Lord Snooty's old pals with the crossover characters. Subsequent appearances Due to a loss of popularity, Lord Snooty's stories petered away in 1991, but he would still cameo in other comic strips or feature in short revivals. An notable one was in 2001, in issue 3093's Lord Snooty's Day Out, which revealed Snooty and many popular comic strip stars of previous generations now lived in the Beano Retirement Home. He also guest-starred in the 65th anniversary issue alongside The Bash Street Kids, and starred in Kev F. Sutherland's Are We There Yet? in 2005 where he tries to become the newest hip-hop artist Snoot Doggy-Dogg. In the 2010s, Lord Snooty received more appearances and new stories, often authored and illustrated by Lew Stringer: a feature in the Funsize Funnies, and a revival series in 2014. For the 80th anniversary, he appeared in issue 3945 in a flashback with other characters from 1938. Snooty's last appearance was a background cameo in 2021 in issue 4111. Outside of the weekly comic, Snooty featured heavily through the franchise, with exclusive stories in The Beano Annual throughout the years—often coinciding with his comic strip runs, and appeared with Snitch and Snatch in 2001's Bash Street Kids Book. He also appeared in the inner cover artwork of the 2019 Beano Annual with 254 other characters from The Beano's history and was in the time-travelling comic feature "Doctor Whoops!" On 9 September 1998, a book entitled The Legend of Lord Snooty and his Pals was published, containing a history of the comic strip and reprints from the first 30 years of the strip's life.
