Poor Chubsy Ubsy Died In 1936- He Was Only 21 Years Old

He had a grandular condition and they operated on him. He lost a ton of weight, going from 300lbs down to 110lbs. The rapid weight loss put a lot of street on his body and he died at the very young age of 21 years old in 1936. He was the very first Our Gang/Little Rascals kid to die.

I believe the ONLY actor kid from the Little Rascals that is still alive is WOIM who's 96 years old.

I feel bad for fat children. It's a form of child abuse.

R3 Maybe he had, I don't know, a glandular condition or something.

How did he lose weight so fast? Was he on Ozempic?

R5-No dear. In 1936 even Weight Watchers was 27 years away.

Ya see, this is why I refuse to lose weight. You never know how quickly is too quickly and then—boom—you’re gone. As long as I have the stick and rag to wipe my butt, I’m fine.

Oh look, another Lena Dunham thread.

When I need to lose a few pounds, I switch from cream to milk in my coffee and skip the whip cream on my sundae.

Don't call me Norman, call me Chubsy Ubsy!

"Love Business" (1931) is perhaps one of the funniest Our Gang shorts.

What is WOIM?

R10- When I was a kid in the 1970's I liked the Little Rascals more than cartoons.

R11- Woim was a bully with wirey reddish hair who was later Butch's ( another bully) sidekick.

A number of famous fat men died after crash dieting. Zero Mostel. Oliver Hardy. Joseph Kearns (not really fat). Laird Cregar.

R1O, the funniest moment: Mary Ann imitating Miss Crabtree's smirk.

Maybe the doctors gave the kid speed, and he had a heart attack.
