Child actor. He first appeared in the "Mickey McGuire" short subjects series as a member of Mickey McGuire's gang throughout the series run in the silent era. He also played the role of Stinky Davis in some of the series' earliest sound shorts. In 1931, he joined the "Our Gang" series. Even though he was well into his teens during his "Our Gang" tenure, he was very short for his age and capably portrayed his grade-school-aged character "Breezy Brisbane." Breezy's mother refers to him as "Brisbane" in the films "Readin' and Writin'" and "Spanky," the only shorts in which that name appears; the kids refer to him as "Breezy." However, the Leonard Maltin/Richard Bann book "The Little Rascals: The Life & Times of Our Gang" lists his character as "Breezy Brisbane," a name which does not appear in dialogue in any of the shorts in which McComas appears. In 1977, he left show business and became an electrical engineer at the U.S. Naval Weapons Center in China Lake, California. He was being forced into retirement upon his 65th birthday in 1981 but passed away two weeks prior.
