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.

Yet cats aren’t mentioned on the menu at Gill’s Mystery Meat Pastie Palace and Fish&Chips Bar where raft spiders dive for the fish of your choice in their live tank.

So whats strange about Cats in Peru?
(With Apologies to Wierd Al
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
The place that I eat every day at noon.
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know,
Once they wrap it up in dough, boy.
They fry it real crisp in dough.

A Chinese soup for colder weather, called Tiger and Dragon Soup, contains cat and snake meat. While HK was a British colony, the consumption of dogs and cats was against the law, due to the British influence, though the Chinese population had no prejudice against eating them. I always laugh at rumors that Chinese restaurants here in the US secretly serve cat or dog meat to their gwailo customers, because that is not something they would waste on westerners who didn’t appreciate them. They would save those for themselves!
