Ripley's Believe It or Not! Special Edition 2011

Ripley first called his cartoon feature, originally involving sports feats, Champs and Chumps, and it premiered on December 19, 1918, in the New York Globe. Ripley began adding items not related to sports, and in October 1919 he changed the title to Believe It or Not.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a franchise, founded by Robert LeRoy Ripley, (died in 1949) which deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims. The Believe It or Not cartoon panels proved popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, museums and books. From Wikipedia.
