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.

I’ve believed for years that Puerto Rico should be admitted to the Union.

The U.S. Virgin Islands also suffers from the same problem. USVI should be included in the admission of Puerto Rico as a state, and Guam/American Samoa should also be a state as well.

When they start to pay taxes we’ll think about it.

How about we let them vote and then they are required to pay taxes. Might help a bit with the debt. Hey, that sounds like a good idea, I should run for president! (except I’m about twelve years too young)

Elephants burying their dead on Election Day brings to mind some provocative comments but I won’t go there.

They’ve had the option for years and continually choose not to become a state. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/04/puerto-rico-statehood_n_2072532.html

No he wouldn’t – because then the money he has there would be subject to US taxes.

I live in a solid-color state, so my vote won’t change anything anyway. We need to do away with the electoral collage.

Syncope can also be induced by fear. That explains opossums

I believe you’ll find those territories are self-governed, and have their own elections; and, if I’m not mistaken, Puerto Rico has turned down statehood.
