Dixie the taxi driver usually introduced "The King of Cartoons" by playing her trumpet (first in typical fanfare then segueing into Dixieland-style music, hence her name) and announcing "Hear ye, hear ye! His Royal Highness, King Cartoon!" or something similar. (On occasion, she would not play her trumpet at all.) She only appeared in Season 1. After her final appearance in "Party", from Season 2-5, the Flowers took her place in announcing the King with a song, but it can be assumed that she still lives in the royal palace in Cartoonland.
Played by Johann Carlo, Dixie is one of her most famous roles.
Appearance[]
Dixie has white skin and long dark blackish-brownish hair, which she sometimes wears either in a hair-down or a ponytail.
She wears an old-fashioned yellow cab driver's hat, reading "YELLOW CAB CO." on the front panel, and also a white shirt, a black tie, dark brown pants, and black shoes.
In some episodes, her jacket is dark blue. From Just Another Day onwards, her jacket is yellow with her name on the back along with her portrait.
In Party, she wore a light peach party gown with diamond earrings.
Trivia[]
- According to the Caseem Gaines book Inside Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Dixie was meant to be a depiction of a "butch, perhaps lesbian New York stereotype".
- The episode The Gang's All Here shows that she is a very good singer.
- Dixie was parodied in issue #228 of Cracked Magazine, in the four-page comic Pee-Yoo's Playhovel, as Dorksy. She had an identical appearance to Dixie.
