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.

It’s been nice knowing you, Big Tex. (They are, or have they, constructing a new one, right?)

It probably doesn’t help that they build temples to them … and feed them!

When is Texas leaving the union? Can’t wait for that to happen.

Neither can we. We are tired of supporting the non-working class on wellfare, aka liberals. And we are tired of being told we cannot stop illegals from entering the country. We are also tired of the racist northerners saying we should be given back to Mexico.

Texas uses “Like a whole other country” as a tourism slogan. That’s right – a backward banana republic.
The same state where cops kicked down someone’s door because two men were sleeping together – consensually.
The same state that once put someone in jail for 20 years – for possessing a single joint.

I almost forgot – the same state that has executed more people than the other 49 combined.
The same state that wanted to execute the mentally-challenged and children.
