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.

Drinkin' Medicine With The Little Rascals
An OUR GANG Comedy Short.
After drinking unmixed digestive powders, Alfalfa gets BUBBLING TROUBLES. When his abdomen swells tremendously, Spanky and the Gang are certain he's swallowed some of Butch's `liquid dynamite'. Now if they can only get Alfalfa home without his exploding...
Few real laughs in this otherwise innocuous little film. Made after MGM got direct control of the Gang, and with the kids themselves noticeably growing up, it bears scant resemblance to the Rascals' classics of yesteryear.
