   • 1991 August 10, Michael Bronski, “'I Know You Are, But What Am I?'”, in Gay Community News, volume 19, number 4, page 6:

     Pee-wee Herman is a brilliant creation. He is the epitomal '50s nerd: overly fastidious and so repressed that his sexual energy keeps erupting in nervous giggles and snide, childish, quibbles.
