This short was the final appearance of (imaginary rival) Tommy Bond, known as 'Butch'. Bond's acting career started shortly after George 'Spanky' McFarland in 1932. Spanky's debut was in Free Eats (1932), and Tommy Bond's debut was in the very next Our Gang short, Spanky (1932). He was in 14 episodes as 'Butch' and 13 episodes in the pre-MGM era as 'Tommy' from 1932-1934. After this point in his career, Bond went on to feature roles.
Alfalfa's younger twin brothers, Tisket and Tasket are first seen here and also appear in Kiddie Kure (1940). In both shorts, they have cowlicks just like their older brother. While Kiddie Kure (1940) (released 23 November 1940) is later in the series, the twins look younger in that short than in this one (released 25 May 1940).
Alfalfa's little brothers, twins Tisket and Tasket, appear in a long shot as two different boys (credited as Rollie 'Tisket' Jones and Bobby 'Tasket' Jones, respectively). In two full-front shots, however, a split-screen process shot is used, with a single actor seen double,
side by side in mirror-image, giving the impression that the twins are mimicking each other's reactions. The Our Gang series had used split screen shots in the past, for example in Alfalfa's Double (1940).
The 187th of 220 "Our Gang" shorts released from 1922 to 1944.
Tommy Bond began his Our Gang career as a little tyke with no lines of dialogue. What audiences didn't know was that he was one of the oldest members of his era, and in subsequent years grew much taller than the rest of the cast. This, along with his pugnacious looks, led to him quickly rising in billing to become Our Gang's favorite bully.
