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.

According to my English teacher, Charlie Chaplin was banned from the USA after ‘The Great Dictator’… because many Americans at the time thought Hitler was okay.
The only references I could find suggest it was because they thought he was a Communist.

Only Communists were against Hitler only that isn’t true. Stalin made a deal with der Fuhrer.

Some government officials in the U.S. didn’t like Chaplin because, in a scene in one movie, he portrayed an immigrant who kicked a U.S. government immigration official.

Insects that look like dead leaves are not that unusual. I was startled by one such moth here in the U.S. I thought I was flicking a dead leaf off of the house, and it flew away.
