By the mid-1970s, they were printing all nine frames of Black Bob with a title frame on the first page and a "Next episode" frame at the bottom of the second one. Space was created by shortening the captions and placing them on the frame rather than below.

Many of the Weekly News strips were printed twice in the Dandy. Full details are in Morris Heggie's excellent Best of Black Bob.
