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.

Message to Larry -
What the heck for?

Larry has too much time on his hands and more money than he knows what to do with.
Says he “only” spent $5,000, tho.

@tom_wright
But spread over 11 years, that comes to almost $1.25 per day.

Collect it, bottle it and export it. Lots of places in the world could use some good clean rain water.

There are at least half a dozen places that could be called the wettest location on Earth. It depends on which weather records are used and for how long a period you look at.

Being a native of San Francisco I can truthfully say that the bridge is NOT a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge!!! Oh, and, don’t EVER call it Frisco!!!!! That town is in another state!!!!!

The the place in India is wetter than the Pacific Ocean? It may get more rain, but I doubt it is wetter.

davidf42 To quote Gertrude Stein, “A shmuck is a shmuck is a shmuck is a shmuck.” Like he NEEDED a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge on his farm! Now he’s got one. And that’s that.
