His sister is getting ready to smack him upside his head with that doll if he doesn't share!

I didn't notice it right away, but underneath the sister it says "I'd like some too."

What's the prize he is holding in his right hand? It would seem to be a prize that pre-dates prizes actually being put in boxes, therefore a point-of-sale item?

Hello, gsullivan

That is a piece of Cracker Jack the boy is taunting his sister with in the scene! That piece of C. J. is a little on the burnt side though!
