My editor passed along a photocopy of this obituary of Ben Chapman, the man who played Creature from the Black Lagoon, in a recent issue of The Economist. I figured I'd link to it if it was online so y'all could read it. But in looking for it, I also found their most recent obituary, for Gary Gygax.
I never met either one of them, but both men made my life richer just the same.

The only thing I really remember about that movie is watching it with my best friend when I was in first grade. It was in 3D, and we'd gotten the 3D glasses and everything. Well, his older sister was babysitting us that night, and so of course she hoarded the big TV for herself, so we were banished to my parents' room. My parents had a water bed, and my friend wigged out because he was afraid the Creature from the Black Lagoon was in the water bed. So much for that.
