Goofs
When Spanky, Mickey, Froggy and Buckwheat enter the school house you don't see any seats available for them.

Quotes
[as the camera moves away from the crazy credit sign: "Here lie the clothes of Spanky, Mickey, Buckwheat and Froggy. Don't dig 'em up or you'll get groggy! We buried 'em well - We buried 'em deep - so let them rest in their smelly sleep!"]
[after Froggy's chemical concoction made their clothes unbearable and their school-teacher gave them the day off. The police then quickly removed Spanky, Froggy, Buckwheat and Mickey from the theatre. Them, they buried the odorous clothes and are at the edge of a forest. All four and one at a time, say four words of a two-word sentence]
Spanky: Our clothes are there,
Mickey: and we are bare.
Buckwheat: So, here we'll stay,
Froggy: 'till you go away.
[after their shared sentence, is completed, Spanky, Mickey, Buckwheat and Froggy wave farewell, to the camera, as the Closing Musical Credit begins]

Crazy credits
As Mighty Lak a Goat (1942) concludes, four members appear to be stark naked behind a wooden sign with 5 lines of two rhymes. The four members are George 'Spanky' McFarland, Billy 'Froggy' Laughlin, Billie 'Buckwheat' Thomas and Robert Blake (known as Mickey Gubitosi, then). The Crazy Credit is the sign and the five line sentence. [Line 1] HERE LIE THE CLOTHES OF SPANKY, [Line 2] MICKEY, BUCKWHEAT and FROGGY. [Line 3] DON'T DIG 'EM UP OR YOU'LL GET GROGGY! [Line 4] WE BURIED 'EM WELL - WE BURiED 'EM DEEP - [Line 5] SO LET THEM REST IN THEIR SMELLY SLEEP! [From left to right: Spanky, Buckwheat, Mickey and Froggy, all four wave farewell, to the camera, as the closing music begins]

Who was the "adult rascal", that splashed the mud on them?!

As I typed in the title's Subject/Summary, I strongly wonder who the "adult rascal" was, that drove by them and splashed the mud on Spanky, Froggy, Buckwheat & Mickey, as they were about to go to school. Also, Froggy was practicing Patrick Henry's personal quote, (in the early 1770's decade, before Thursday, July 4th, 1776), and his personal quote, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" I strongly believe it was a crew member, as if he or she was about to go look for a breakfast meal. To me, "Mighty Lak a Goat" would have been much five to ten more popular, if Spanky MacFarland did not act in the next short, that was his final short, at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, "Unexpected Riches" was the very last "Our Gang" short of Spanky.
