Georgia Jean: Went Hollywood. Y'know, like Tarzan.
Dorothy 'Echo' DeBora: With her habit of mindlessly echoing anything said to her, what else but a career as a commentator for Fox News.
Annabella: Took the high road. Others took the low road. Reached Scotland afore them.
Mary Ann: Moved to the country, where she blossomed. Subsequently took boat trip for a three-hour tour, which quickly went weird.
Porky: Works the speaker at your local fast food place. (Come on, you've always suspected it...)

Spanky: Used car dealer.
Breezy Brisbane: Street car conductor, until that industry became mostly obsolete, then he had wished he had become president.
Alfalfa: Hosting karaoke.
Butch: Giving violin lessons, and living vicariously through his students, hoping one of them might win the contest. Somewhat controlling, like Barnaby in Follies of 1938.
Darla: Never growing out of her fickle stage, thrice divorced. Past her prime and thinking about Waldo, the one who got away.
Waldo: Bought shares of Microsoft and Apple early.
Porky: After winning several eating competitions, lost weight and became the spokesman for a revolutionary weight loss product. Wrote a motivational book, "I'm Otay, You're Otay!"

On a more serious note, I can't help but wonder where the characters went right after they were gone from the series. Any theories?
Ernie - Maybe went to a finishing school. It seems unlikely that he moved, since Farina was still living in the neighborhood. Since he seemed to be able to put equipment together easily, maybe he grew up to become some kind of a manufacturer.
Jackie Condon - Probably moved. Possible became a practical joking barber.
Farina - Evidently, he and Joe eventually quit school. Probably worked with Joe.
Joe - Also quit school. Later became a barber.
Mickey - Went to a finishing school, where he met Alabam and the gang from "The Boyfriends" series. Moved back into the old neighborhood to become the truant officer.
Mary - Ditto. Plus got her teaching degree.
Jack - I wouldn't be surprised if his character also went to military school. Became a colonel.
Andy - Maybe he became a vaudeville entertainer. He could do a darn good Chaplin impersonation, and proved he could perform ridiculous stunts.
Gene - No idea.
Johnny - Probably either went to finishing school, or joined Jack at military school.
Jay - Moved out of town. Became an inventor.
Bonedust - Became paralyzed in his lower area after getting his rear injured so many times. Became a best-selling joke book writer.
Scooter - Moved. Seemed like he might have made a good athlete.
Jean - Moved Became the spoiled daughter of a hotel owner.
Wheezer - Moved. Became a lightweight boxer, and later a traveling salesman.
Harry - Moved. Became a cop.
Mary Ann - Moved. Was largely involved in the feminist movement.
Chubby - Moved. Opened his own grocery store.
Jackie Cooper - Moved. Became a talented actor, writer, producer, and director.
Dorothy - Moved. Aided Mary Ann in the feminist movement.
Stymie - Moved. He seemed like he'd make a good comedian. Maybe he went into show business.
Shirley - Moved. Became a flirtatious stripper. Oh, wait...
Spud - Moved. Became a chef (he did so well cooking up ham and eggs in "Dogs is Dogs")
Brisbane - Moved. Became a taxi driver.
Spanky - Moved. Became a car salesman.
Dickie - Moved. Became a doctor, particularly aiding children with stiff necks.
Scotty - Moved. Became an entrepreneur after making his own special lemonade. Briefly worked as Spanky's assistant.
Buckwheat - Going by Walt Kelly's stories, Buckwheat (who's real name was "Alexander") became a high school track star. Probably moved afterwards, and continued his journey as an athlete.
Alfalfa - Moved. Became the star of his high school drama club. Became a popular singer. To this day, nobody has told him that he can't sing.
Porky - Moved. Joined Chubby in the grocery business.
Darla - Moved. Became a flirtatious nightclub singer.
Butch - Moved. Probably went to military school. Later became a high school gym teacher.
Woim - Moved. Became a football player.
Waldo - Moved. Later became an author. Unsuccessfully tried to end television.
Mickey Gubitosi - According to Walt Kelly, he went to military school. Not sure what happened to him after that.
Janet - Moved. Again, I'm at a loss.
Froggy - Moved. Since he seemed to care so much about his country, he probably became a political figure.

Spanky- becomes Alfalfa's agent Actually, that did happen in the animated series in 1983. The beginning of "Pete's Big Break" -the second last new episode of the series - had Spanky's Talent Agency, and Alfalfa was singing "My Bonnie" in his famous off-key style.
