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.

Wow, another kind of Shroud of Turin. I also wonder of whose silhouette is the Women’s NBA and Major League Baseball logos.

Those hornets must be immune to bee sting venom.

Maybe the mold made a picture of the Zig Zag man.

Actually, the bees don’t have body heat, they generate it with their wings.
If you’ve ever seen pictures of the hornets … they’re enough to make you stay away from Japan!

Jesus, reminds me of an old skit by Bill Cosby.

Their carapaces are too thick for the bee stings to penetrate, so they have to “ball” it to death. The hornets are big enough to rip the heads off the honeybees with its pincers, so that should give you an idea of its size and strength. Three or four can overwhelm a hive quickly.

We don’t. Most images we have of him were drawn in the Renaissance …he is usually clad in the the garments of that era.

He looks sad, because he’s returned as mold!

¿Why do people assume that anything that even vaguely looks like a a man with long hair and a beard is an image of Jesus? I guess the gullible will accept anything as a miracle.
