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 think I heard about that pizza on the pizza episode of Travel Channel’s “Food Paradise.”

I remember some reference about a dinner honouring a politician … ‘$200 dollars a plate … and I couldn’t get within spitting distance!’

$1000 pizzas are like cocaine…they’re ’God’s way of telling you you have too much money’

I could be wrong, but I think they use a higher compression rate in the JPG file, so that even though the comic is bigger in size, it still isn’t too big a file. You can adjust the compression level in JPG files almost infinitely, but not sure that’s true with GIF files.

Noo Yawkuhs who’d pay $300 to see Streisand in concert would also pay $1000 for a peetzer. Personally I’d rather have a $10 deep dish pizza and then go see a good rock band at a local club for a $5 cover charge but then I’m a Chicagoan.

What do they call that pizza, the Hedge-Fund-Manager Special?

How many bloody times are you going to ask that? Or do you just want us to see that you’re clever enough to have noticed?

Diosdado Cabello was the right wing choice of the Valenzuela oligarchs the US oligarchs approved of. Didn’t last. Amazingly he wasn’t put to death for treason along with all the others. They got to live.

Disgusting super rich food, good thing that the lobster has so much mercury in it. Maybe they should pay people to eat it.
