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 heard that there’s 10 to 1 odds going that Drambuie gets the Olympics before Detroit…

Drambuie? I thought that was a liqueur!

Unfortunately, Detroit is so blighted today that it probably could never succeed in a bid for the Olympics.

In August, 2012 Bob Smith of Long Island, NY caught a 17 lb., 80 year old lobster named “Unlucky Larry” in Long Island Sound and ate him!

Detroit needs to clean up its own act, get rid of the violence, do some urban renewal and maybe in 50 years they might stand a chance of landing an international competition .. even if its just the International Bubble Gum convention.

They have not. Detroit keeps getting turned down because of their crime problem, but they cannot understand that.

@gmartin997 I don’t care what he is as long as he paid his bill and tipped the wait-staff properly.

It’s because Detroit is the murder capital of the world! Clean up the crime in your city, and maybe you can host -“Honey Booboo!”
