Here is a copy
of the original
photo on which
the cartoon was
based. Does
anyone recognize
where it was
taken? Perhaps
the pier at
Dinner Key. |

This Caricature
of Spanky and Our Gang appeared in the August 1967 Issue of 16 Magazine.
Kids were supposed to compare the top and bottom drawings to find the 5
errors. A button might be missing or a pocket or even just a line. Once
you found the mistakes and circled them, you would mail in your entry and
they would put them in a drum and select 5 winners. The first 5 people
they selected who got the correct answers would each win $10. I remember
seeing this same game in the comics section of the newspaper when I was
a teenager. There would be a different picture each week of course and
it was fun to see how long it would take to find all 5 errors. The photo
on which this particular caricature was modeled was used in a number of
fan magazines to accompany articles about the band.
