Breaking: Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) appears to have passed

[Cameramonkey]

I havent seen it in the news yet, but his team appears to have posted a rather cryptic farewell to his FB account thanking his fans for their support, and apologizing for not revealing his cancer diagnosis 6 years ago.

Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness. Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit.

If you havent watched his latest PWH movie Pee Wee's Big Holiday, you should. Its a neat "sequel" of sorts to Big Adventure. Watching for cameos and easter eggs related to Big Adventure is really fun and nostalgic.

Yes, he was a funny guy in his own way. I liked him, I laughed out loud many times.

Very funny guy, loved Big adventure, didn’t know there was a sequel to that!

I've seen very little of the Pee wee stuff, but losing your battle with cancer is sad.

Nobody? Fine, I'll do it.

I figured he'd punch out due to a stroke in a movie theater.

Before he had the kids show

That was the kids' show. That was one of the bits he used to do.

He had an HBO special that was geared towards adults.

Maybe so, but he did that bit on the kids' show too.

This was sweet. Quite the simple, yet touching tribute.
