A couple of years ago I linked to Chris Aubry's "I Still Think of You, Jim Henson." The link is now broken, but I found this link, with a biographical update from Mr. Aubry in the comments. (And another link, which I posted in an update to my old post.)
I was thinking about it because of this (via Larry Cebula), which might be the second saddest comic ever. Calvin is no longer a friend of Narnia. (C.S. Lewis is still a creep, though.)

They just put a statute up of Jim Henson at my alma mater's campus; he's an alumnus. The statue is a stone bench with a life-sized bronze Henson with his arm over the shoulder of a bronze Kermit. I haven't yet seen it in real life. It was on the cover of an alumni association "give us money" magazine.
Weiner, call more people out at LGM; it drove my traffic here.

I guess I should start putting that URL into my comments.
