Boy, looking at my colorized image again, I see that everyone looks rather pale. Forgive me if I've given anyone nightmares. Creating realistic skin color is one of the most challenging things to do in the colorziation process. Hard Boiled Harry's enthusiasm (particularly for Mr. Spear) is definitely missed. I just hope he doesn't further imitate Spear by deciding to deny he was ever a member of the forum! I always get a kick out of seeing the old Our Gang theatrical posters (not so much the later "Little Rascals" Monogram posters with the randomly chosen cast listings, but they're nice and colorful, I guess). But I don't quite understand this one for "Little Mother." Why is Farina in a baby buggy? It just seems more odd than funny. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/one-sheet-movie-poster-advertises-the-comedy-little-mother-news-photo/538543313Yes, I would hope that Hard-boiled Harry doesn't carry mirroring Harry Spear's post 'Our Gang' existence to that extreme! He certainly made some great posts, though he was before my time on here! I agree that Farina in a baby buggy does come off as odd. By the way, I found that I had to copy and paste the above url for the LITTLE MOTHER Theatrical Poster, as clicking on the link takes me to an LC Offers webpage, instead! Other Forum Members may want to take note of this. CHEERS!

It might just be because Wheezer and Dorothy are being adorable -- as usual -- in the front, but I really like this picture. It's nowhere near an appropriate time for this, but I love it. Attachments:

Why do I have the urge to make an Our Gang calendar?
By the way, I really dig the shadows in the pumpkin carving photo!

The Halloween pics are Spooktacular! I'm thinking the first must be from 1930, as Dorothy DeBorba is in the photo, while the second is likely from 1928, as I presume that Jackie Cooper and Norman "Chubby" Chaney would have been in an Autumn 1929 photo! CHEERS!

It really comes as a surprise to me nowadays that despite being introduced to the series from the 1994 theatrical film, my top two favorites as of writing this weren't even in it! I mean, they did hold the series together for a short while, alongside Stymie, so good on them. I might also just be biased to their cuteness.

From the Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Vista, California. I for one am thrilled to see movie drunk Jack Norton commemorated in wax!

That's a marvelous setup, though of course, Spanky and Darla don't appear in THE AWFUL TOOTH (1938) on which this is based, although I do get that they were likely included for aesthetic reasons. Also, what gives with having Buckwheat dressed like a farmer?
I also really love the photos that have been posted above! Wally Albright sure looked a lot different as an adult. almost as much so as Spanky, in my opinion!
CHEERS!

Also, what gives with having Buckwheat dressed like a farmer? Funnily enough, Spanky was in early drafts of "The Awful Tooth" (as was Butch). His exit from the series in '38 led to him being written out. As for Buckwheat, maybe he was checking in after being outside... growing some buckwheats!

This is perhaps the cutest photo of Darla I ever discovered: She truly was a darling.
