Pictured is a

The character of Buckwheat appeared on Our Gang / Little Rascals in
the 1930's. The actor playing him was Billy Thomas. The
Buckwheat t-shirt shows him saying 'Otay!' |

The
1935 comedy "Our Gang" (Little Rascals) featured Billie
"Buckwheat" Thomas from the age of three until fourteen.
William Thomas Jr. lived from 1931-1980. Although he
died at the young age of 49, he is always remembered for his
role on Little Rascals. The Buckwheat t-shirts reads
"Otay", which was one of his famous sayings. In the
television show, we saw Thomas grow up from a small child to
a teenager. Crazy hair and a maroon color is how this
Buckwheat t-shirt appears. More than 60 years after
the comedy went off the air, the characters are still
recognizable. Buckwheat was such a part of the pop
culture that Eddie Murphy reprised the character during a
series of sketches on Saturday Night Live in the 1970's.
The son of the real actor did not approve of the bit. |
