Ripley's Believe It or Not has been presenting the incredible and the unusual in illustrated form since Robert Ripley's first "Champs and Chumps" comic published on Dec. 19, 1918. Currently, B.I.O.N. is illustrated by John Graziano, who has been working as an artist and illustrator since 1983, when he received a certificate in illustration from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. He has designed trading card sets and a portrait series based on the 1960s cult TV show "Dark Shadows." John has also created comic strips for "Scream Queens" magazine, designed t-shirts graphics and created storyboards and concept drawings for Hollywood films. Researcher Lucas Stram has worked since 2004 as the voice behind the cartoon, reviewing potential stories, filtering through the hundreds of weekly submissions and putting together the stories for John to bring to life. New submissions are always welcome. Just click here.

So that guy’s mustache is longer than TWO of those bats.

If you lived in Illinois, you wouldn’t have any problem believing that. We have the dumbest, most corrupt regime of any state in the union!

I’ll give you “dumbest,” but the most corrupt by far is right here in Utah.

Living in Springfield Illinois I didn’t believe it until I checked it out and its true.

Looks like a beard to me, and are they measuring to the floor AND back?

Ram can play Double-Dutch jumprope by himself! Okay, I’m stretching it.

Just put in front of your building as an address and see if they get it. That is one very large bat and a very long mustache.

I wouldn’t say corrupt (but then I avoid the OC sheriffs at all costs), but certainly the dumbest. LA County enacted legislation recently that requires the use of condoms while filming porn. Uh huh. How exactly are they going to enforce this?

Does your beard hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot, can you tie it in a bow?
My grandad used to sing that, but he used a completely different body part than beard!

They could provide them a home so they could have an address, but then they would have to evict them because they are no longer homeless.

That kind of bat eats only fruit, not blood, so do not worry.
