Plug's strip was mostly drawn by Vic Neill but other artists, including Dave Gudgeon drew some later strips. Other strips included Antchester United, Violent Elizabeth, Eebagoom, Hugh's Zoo and D'ye Ken John Squeal and his Hopeless Hounds.

July 2008 issue of The Beano, number 3439, included a new version of the strip drawn by Nigel Parkinson. It is about a mischievous boy who lives in a castle, the first strip showing Snooty jetskiing on Lake Snooty. Although it was originally entered as part of the New Bash Street Kid competition, the following issue, number 3440, establishes that this character is indeed Marmaduke's grandson, showing a distinctive and recognisable "Grandad" in the family portrait gallery. Later on, Snooty the Third became a spy, parodying James Bond.

Professor Screwtop – inventor who always has a new invention ready for trial tests; first appeared in issue 40. [45] He occasionally appeared in other Beano strips such as the Bash Street Kids. Since 2017, he has appeared in the TV series Dennis & Gnasher: Unleashed! along with his daughter, Rubidium "Rubi". When Charles Moore was announced as The Daily Telegraph 's new editor, some critiques believed his "sobriquet of Lord Snooty" would bring a conservative agenda to the newspaper, according to Stephen Clover, who ended his overview with: "Lord Snooty does know what they are thinking in the suburbs and market towns rather better than most of [Charles Moore's] metropolitan critics." [58] Moore would later write about David Cameron in 2009 theorising Cameron shared similarities to friend-to-the-poor Lord Snooty as well as Snooty's "repulsive" grandson, in his attempt to befriend the poor like both boys. [59] Alex Salmond also called the Cameron-led Conservative government "a bunch of incompetent Lord Snootys" in 2012. [60] Kerr, Euan, ed. (14 September 1991). "Lord Snooty". The Beano. No.2566.

In popular British culture, "Lord Snooty" is pejorative to describe a high-profile person (usually a politician) from an upper middle class family who is too privileged to relate to the rest of the United Kingdom, despite how hard they try to. In 1995, Craig Brown criticised Roy Hattersley for claiming Eton College was the wrong school to send teenaged Prince William because Lord Snooty attended it, writing in the Evening Standard: "I doubt the creators at the Dundee firm of DC Thomson ever intended [Snooty and the children of Ash-Can Alley] to be thought of as Etonians."

You’re right that a new party would be just as much work, maybe more – the advantage as I see it is that the work could start right away – just as soon as Jeremy agrees to lead it. Law, Davey (17 March 1951). Moonie, George (ed.). "Dennis the Menace". The Beano. No.452. D.C. Thomson & Co. Ltd.

The pint-sized aristocrat stopped appearing regularly in 1990 and his final appearance was in 1991. The reason why he was axed was due to the fact that it was difficult to write his strips and readers could not relate to Snooty or his pals anymore. Former Beano editor Euan Kerr stated that Lord Snooty was always his least favourite character to write for, while Alan Digby (who later replaced Euan as the comic's editor) also said that he did not like the strip. The Sunday Times reprinted old Lord Snooty strips in The Funday Times for a short while afterwards.
