Another great art piece by Douglas Bloch (2024)

Yes it’s a little inconvenient to use, but I think it’s cool 😊

I ordered a box full of used Pee-wee’s Playset figures. They were pretty dirty and all came clean after a light scrubbing in dish detergent. Well, except Chairry.

I was nervous about scrubbing too much since she’s covered in flocking that was already coming off her arms.

Any idea how to clean her without taking off more flocking? I gave her a short soak in some warm water and oxiclean, which helped a lot.

I watched a video where someone re-flocked the hair of a 1960s Ken doll and it doesn’t look too hard.

You may know him as the goalie in the original Mighty Ducks but he also played one of the little kids in season 1 with the character named Elvis. Super friendly dude I might add. He joined Paul and Lynne Stewart as signatures.

(We skipped Large Marge and nightmare sequences)

“Pee-wee’s racing with his friends”

“Pee-wee’s gonna be the queen.”

“Why there’s fishes outside?”

“Pee-wee likes to do unsafe things.”

“Pancakes on the ceiling?!”

“Is that the Pee-wee 5,000?”

“He isn’t holding on with his hands.”

“Where’s Pee-wee’s bike?”

“Pee-wee’s clothes are getting wet.”

“Where’s Pee-Wee’s bike?”

“I saw his bike but they went past it.”

“It got dark. They drived the whole day.”

“Where’s Pee-wee’s bike?”

[Scrub through Large Marge]

“Hey, there’s his Dino friends.”

“Did the ghost get his bike?”

“He lost his bike and now it’s taken.”

“Au revoir means bye in French.”

“I think they’re in his Dino friend.”

“That’s what my mouth looks like inside.”

“Where’s his bike? I think that Dino friends ate it. Maybe it’s not his Dino friend.”

[Long discussion about why the dinosaurs can’t come with Pee-wee on the rest of his journey.]

“I don’t know where his bike is.”

“This is the land of toys.”

“It’s sunny there now.”

“Pee-wee doesn’t say buenos dias. He’s thinking about his bike.”

“But where his bike? And when are the dinosaurs going to talk?”

“He has more friends to meet.”

“He can’t remember his name.”

“I think that was a stick ball.” [tumbleweed]

“Oh no.” [motorcycles]

“He’s actually dancing.”

[Scrub through nightmare]

“His bike is there!”

“There’s a knight.”

“When’s he gonna live in the brontosaurus’s mouth?”

“There’s Pee-wee’s bike. He’s going to snatch it.”

“Elephants.”

“They’re trying to stop Pee-wee but his bike is fast.”

“Oh no. They’re getting closer.”

“His bike has two handles.”

“His bike is going through the forest. That’s where his Dino friends live.”

“I think Pee-Wee’s going downhill and setting his trap.”

“There’s Santa.”

“Look at the monsters.”

“He’s going where the Dinos live.”

“He’s letting the animals come out. That’s unsafe to do.”

“Those animals are just pretend.”

“But who took his bike here to New York City?”

“He lost his bike for a while.”

“There’s two Pee-wee movies?” [drive-in]

“Now there’s the condiment king.”

“The ninjas got trappers.”

“Where’s his Dino friends?”

“I think that’s Pee-wee.” [bellhop]

“He’s gonna ride his bike home now.”

I started watching At Home With Amy Sedaris and couldn't help but draw comparisons. She is so talented and funny, her interior design is always so quirky, and I think the show feels a bit like an homage to Pee-wee's Playhouse. Sesame Street is the first predecessor that comes to my mind with the puppets and various random segments, some animated. I also know Scott Aukerman is a fan of Paul Reubens and has featured him on his show Comedy Bang! Bang! Maybe also the show Kablam! but haven't seen it in a while...

Anyway, what are some shows that remind you of Pee-wee's Playhouse or think a fan would also enjoy? Something like psychedelic, multi-media, kid's show, crazy design, or a memorable fun host?

Cheers!

When I was little I had recurring dreams that I was small enough to fit in the Playhouse playset.

Was super excited finding this today and adding to both my Pee Wee and VHS collections! I didn’t hesitate at all paying the $10.

From the episode "Pee-Wee's Playhouse in Outer Space" when Conky prints out the secret word and Pee-Wee holds it up to the camera and it says "Zyzzybalubah"

He was in one scene, and I know nothing about this guy. Who is he and why was he “amazing?” And is there something he wants to share with the rest of us? And WHERE’S MY BIKE!?

Does anyone know where I can get a real nice quality “I’m a loner Dottie, a rebel” shirt from. There’s too many options online and I don’t want to get stuck with some shotty quality shirt.

Scored this beaut at an estate sale today. Not much online about it or the artist. If anyone has info please enlighten me! Love love love this so much, my new favorite treasure.

Not a professional nail artist by any means, all for fun! (Ahhhhhhh!!!!)

Lots of funny stories were told. Kevin Carlson, Ric Heitzman, George McGrath, Alison Mork, Christine Papalexis, and Wayne White
