Mr. Black was the camp director of Kamp Krusty in the episode of that name.

Leadership

He does very little work, instead relying on the services of the school bullies Jimbo Jones, Dolph and Kearney, who run the camp with an iron fist. Black mentioned that he was once the head of Euro Krustyland before it “blew up” (a parody of the unpopularity of Euro Disneyland).

Role in Episode

Mr. Black is briefly seen drinking brandy, smoking and enjoying a feast with the bullies, making a toast and saying "Gentlemen, to evil!" Mr. Black later hires Barney to dress as Krusty in an attempt to keep the campers complacent, but the disguise is poor and Barney spoils the illusion by talking. Bart leads the campers in a revolution to take over the camp. Mr. Black, realising that he has lost control yells to the bullies, "To the hydrofoil!". This is the last we ever see of Mr. Black, for he has not reappeared in any subsequent episodes.

Other Plans

Mark Kirkland was sure that the character was going to reappear later in the series, but he never did. Al Jean commented "I guess that the hydrofoil really got Mr. Black out of the show forever." [1] Despite this, he has made a somewhat major appearance in the Simpsons comic The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth.
