[PLEASE READ] Chalk, axle grease, soap, and milk: one fine mess after another thanks to the inimitable Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins.
Master of the raspberry—which, according to the American Heritage dictionary definition is "a derisive or contemptuous sound made by vibrating the extended tongue and the lips while exhaling"—Wheezer remains my favorite boy performer from the late-silent- and early-sound-era Our Gang two-reel films. He truly seemed to be an artless, unwitting, and precocious genius of comic timing and reaction.
A great disappointment for fans of Wheezer and Our Gang is the apparently irretrievable loss of the 1927 two-reel silent THE OLD WALLOP—it featured Wheezer prominently as a confirmed nose-puncher. Please contact me if you are aware of any existing print of that film available for viewing! A million thanks.
Music: "Midsummer's Daydream" (excerpt) by Rik Emmett; "Beat Box" (excerpts) by The Art of Noise.
IMPORTANT: This is a video of goodwill, appreciation, and good humor. Questions or comments are sincerely welcome—but only if they are nice, clean, and comprehendible. If you are a professional and prefer that I delete this video, please contact me and it will promptly be done.

Are these lost episodes? I have never seen these before. I thought I have seen all the episodes of the rascals, but I guess not! I'm surprised to see this.

Wheezer socking Sherwood in the chin in the Dogs and Dogs episode is side splitting. Can't locate it on YT though!

Wheezer was awarded both a Silver Star and a Bronze Star whilst in the army in wwII. He transfered to the Army Air Corps near the end of the war and was killed in a training accident not long after he turned 20. He acccomplished a lot in a very short life.

This poor child actor had two horror shows as parents according to his contemporaries that worked with him at the time... it's even sadder that he died at a young age :(
