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 Emperor Nero banned Mimes from the city of Rome.
Ugo Chavez INVITED them into the city of Caracas.
There’s a deeper mening here, but I’m not quite sure what it is.

Nero and Chavez have this in common: Both great enemies of Israel.

I’ve heard of reports of would be Bank Robbers write the stick-up note on the back of their own Deposit Slip for same Bank.
There was news of how a Teller was able to talk the Robber into showing his ID with Home address before she could give him the money, he did, and rhe Polcie were waiting for him when he returned home.
