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’d like to see Herr Muenz make ice cream out of bighotdog.com’s freaky frank.

If you are in Japan, you could get raw horsemeat icecream.

This installment overwhelms me. What the hell could I possibly say (and not get flagged)?

I’m sure Baskin and Robbins will be adding those flavors to the menu soon.

You can get horse meat in Tesco here. They call them beef burgers.

Did we really need to know that about the turtle???
I wondered what the credit charge was from bighotdog.com – my wife must have ordered one.

And you can now get bacon-flavored (and cucumber-flavored) vodka at your favorite liquor store. The ideas that people are coming up with for flavors are getting ridiculous.

The only pun I could think of for the turtle … was already part of the entry!
Maybe that’s Verne from Over the Hedge… that might explain a few things.(especially this week’s story arc.)

In Hatillo, PR there is an ice cream shop that has a menu of unusual flavors. Among them is rice & beans.

big hot dog = baloney … really, all these years you’ve been eating baloney, it’s the same stuff ie:(smooth-textured smoked sausage of beef, veal, pork, turkey or chicken)

Don’t let Adam (the Man vs Food guy) see that hot dog. He will go on a stuffing challenge for sure
