As you may have heard, Paul Reubens, the writer and actor who created the character Pee-wee Herman, died recently. He was a complicated and subversive artist, whose character — somewhat like Reubens himself — vacillated from simple childhood joys to campiness and sometimes darker matters. After the big opening number with a cavalcade of guest stars, we find Pee-wee revising his Christmas letter to Santa — an epic catalog of everything he can think of. Naturally, I was reminded of his expansive wish list in these early stages of the UAW's negotiations with the Detroit 3. Beyond those core items, he also talked about ideas such as paring back to a 32-hour workweek.
