“Shadows flickered like disconcertion across their bestial faces as they saw the three men rising to meet them instead of fleeing.”
“One of the reasons that Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and Pee-wee himself, caused so much disconcertion was that the world the characters inhabited was supposedly childlike and innocent, which, in our warped culture, means not sexual.
