Mission most fully and beautifully accomplished, good sir. And the world still misses you very much. But we’ll keep believing, keep pretending.

Happy 75th birthday, Jim Henson.

    It’s difficult to articulate the extent of the influence he’s had on my life and work. He is truly missed.

    Jim Henson.

    I want to write more, but there aren’t words that convey more.

    He left so much, but dammit, he still died way too soon and we need more.
