A 'The Very Best of Black Bob' was published in 2010, and he re-appeared in the 2013 Dandy Annual drawn by Steve Bright in Prout's style. Jack Prout was born on 14 December 1899 and joined the Scottish publishing firm of D. C. Thomson as a staff artist on 21 June 1937. He retired on 30 June 1968 although his strips were reprinted in the Dandy until 1982. Shortly before his retirement, Prout acquired a black and white Border Collie. Staff at D. C. Thomson's presented the artist with a spoof "dog licence", allowing the animal to keep the artist as a pet. The document was "signed" with Black Bob's pawprint. Jack Prout died on 27 September 1978. Black Bob was parodied in a strip in Viz comic entitled "Black Bag, the Faithful Border Bin Liner". Sources Information provided by the publisher of The Dandy and the Black Bob books, namely D. C.
