Li'l Genius #8

This Charlton charmer from 1956 captures the delightful bluntness of childhood in full swing — Li'l Genius, red-haired and wide-eyed, stands on a fence post pointing at the unsuspecting Mrs. Spots while calling out to Mom that she most certainly does not have two faces. Frank Johnson's expressive linework brings real warmth to the scene, from the mortified mom peeking through the porch railing to the oblivious neighbor adjusting her hat mid-stride. "Spots Before Your Eyes" promises exactly the kind of cheerful, kid-logic comedy that made Li'l Genius a fun find at the ten-cent spinner rack.
