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.

1) That probably explains why light bulbs signify an idea in the cartoons. 2) Ms. Richardone sure had amazing dedication. 3) Herr Traser could’ve hauled it to a race track or to a field for the test drive.

Pretty soon we won’t be allowed to be powered by even 25 watts…
CFLs or even LEDs.
our brains will be modified to run like those
After that I’ll never be able to say “I see.”

I’ll bet Sebastian didn’t say “Yaba Daba Doo!” when he found out it was banned from the roads.
