Behind the scenes of the magazine became humanised throughout the years as DC Thomson's Beano offices featured on documentary television and Cramond's successor Euan Kerr guest-starred on television for the magazine's 50th anniversary.

First described as "the Beezer kids of Ash-Can Alley", [1] Snooty's friends lived in Bunkerton Castle's nearby working-class neighbourhood of Ash Can and attended Ash Can Council School.

Watkins was an employee of DC Thomson who had designed stories for a variety of the company's magazines over a decade before The Beano 's first issue.Watkins also illustrated comics such as The Beano, The Dandy, The Beezer and Topper, and provided illustrations for Christian stories.

His last masthead feature was in December 1947, but subsequent reprints of the first issues have removed him. Lord Snooty is often regarded as part of the golden age of comic characters [50] and has become one of few to earn his own collection of strips.

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.

Roughly 31,000–41,000 copies are sold per week in the present day, [227] [228] but an estimated 2 billion Beano comic magazines have been sold in its lifetime.
