A Ric Heitzman group of "Fridge Animation" illustrations from Pee Wee's Playhouse
CBS, 1986-1991. Comprising 21 drawings, pencil on illustration paper (one on tracing paper), many of which are signed ("Ric Heitzman," "R. Heitzman") and dated 1987. These illustrations detail the evolution of the characters who appeared in Pee Wee's kitchen refrigerator including bananas, fish, pineapples, meat ("Mr. Beef"), lettuce, shrimp, and many more. One of the most beloved sections of the show was when Pee Wee would open his fridge or freezer to find all sorts of activities going on amongst the inhabitants (done in claymation). Some are represented here such as the "Vegelections" where the vegetables hold an election and encourage voting ("Vote Pickle"), and the "Fruit Fashion" Show featuring a banana host and a radish modeling a stylish gown, to name just a few.
