It’s a sad day for Pee-wee Herman fans in San Antonio.
Paul Reubens, better known for her wacky persona Pee-wee, took to Facebook Wednesday to let fans know that he won’t be at this year’s Alamo City Comic Con.
Reubens was scheduled to appear at the annual pop-culture fest, set for October 26-28 at the Alamodome. Though he expressed his disappointment in having to cancel and shared his love for Texas and his fans, he didn’t give a reason for the sudden cancellation.
He apologized to fans, especially those who paid big bucks for the meet-and-greet option.
Pee-wee’s love for San Antonio goes back more than 30 years, when his 1985 film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure had a brief stint in the Alamo City. He famously asked about the basement in the Alamo (it turns out there’s two) and also said, “I remember … the Alamo,” which delighted the Texans in the film.
