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.

The 1970’s? Only about 40 years ago?

Any bodies?
KellySusan said, 8 months ago
No bodies, it was only 13, though. They had been replaced by newer headstones at the nearby cemetery when another relative died. The previous owner worked at the cemetery and took the obsolete stones home and buried them.

Yes the tarantulas are still alive when the eggs hatch and the little grubs start boring their way inside the hapless hunters.

My wife did just like that wasp. Now, here I am.

I was once camping in the desert and saw a wasp attacking a tarantula. It finally managed to paralyze the spider and I then watched as it dragged it over the sand and took it under a large rock. That was quite the show for the evening.

As I recall, it was in South Carolina that someone dug up a tombstone dating back to the 1500s! Research revealed that a canal once ran though there, and the probable source was discarded ballast from a ship from England.

I agree though you will be accused of being “politically correct.” Maybe next time you should copy-paste it with quotes so we know what you are talking about?
