Yeah, I'm gonna be late for hashtag games again but HBO is celebrating #PeeWeeHerman these days and they're airing a theater stage version of Pee Wee's Playhouse from 2011. I'm taking time from that to mention something that was somewhat prescient in the segment "Pen Pals from Around the World".
He read a postcard from Israel. Schlomo said he was 9 years old and he has already served 2 years in the military. Good one, Pee Wee.

The theater version of #PeeWee 's Playhouse didn't reprise Fishburn as Cowboy Curtis, but this one was good. And now I know where Captain Kangaroo's Dancing Bear went--darn sure that was him as just "Bear". Looking for that biopic of #PaulRubens on #HBO.

...and TIL that this is the very day when Captain Kangaroo artifacts went up for auction and the Dancing Bear costume was sold for $207,109...but I couldn't tell you what year it was because the blog that mentioned it is undated, speaking of the auction as if it was held the year the blog page was written, whenever that was.
The first image is the complete cast of Broadway's Pee Wee, with Bear 'way in the back and that was the best pic I could find of him; the other is from Captain Kangaroo with Dancing Bear, Mr. Green Jeans, Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit, and of course the Captain himself. I notice that Pee Wee's Bear wears an orange hat, where the Captain's Dancing Bear wears a green one. Still, Bear is a dead ringer for Dancing Bear.
