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.

So Mr. Hughes traveled to those places only by boat, train, car and bicycle? He’s a different kind of Johnny Cash if you ask me.

Graham has the right idea. Anything beats having to fly.

The drop of water doesn’t use planes to travel either.

The things Graham must have seen… the people, the cultures, the fauna and flora… I’m just slightly jealous. There’s so many beautiful things in this world to see, too bad humans spoil most of it.

Graham obviously wasn’t carrying the water with him.

1,000 years, now that’s a slow drip.

Yes, that right! He didn’t fly a plane! The Pilot did all the flying!

He flew without a plane, he was super.

The water cycle bit is a little misleading. Some parts travel faster than others. Ripley’s saying for a drop of water to circulate the WHOLE world takes 1000 years is wrong. It can take as much as hundreds of millions of years for water in the oceans to complete a cycle while on land it can be as little as a week. There is water on the ocean floor that has not seen daylight in close to a billion years.

I’ll bet none of his cruises were on Carnival.
