The gray suit. The red bow tie. The unmistakable laugh that echoed through living rooms every Saturday morning. Paul Rubens created more than just a character in Pee-wee Herman—he built an entire world that shaped a generation.
Welcome to another episode of Hero or Dick!
Whether you grew up singing along to the theme song (secretly performed by Cyndi Lauper!) or discovered Pee-wee through Tim Burton's cult classic film, there's no denying the lasting impact of Paul Rubens' creation. Check out our latest episode where we celebrate this complicated cultural icon who taught us that being different isn't just okay—it's something to celebrate.
Thanks for your support!
