Believe It Or Not

"Believe It Or Not!" is a newspaper cartoon featuring unusual, hard-to-believe facts from around the world. The cartoon was conceived and drawn by Robert Ripley[?]. It premiered on December 19, 1918 in the New York Globe[?].

"Believe It Or Not!" later became a radio program and then a television show.

Originally involving sports feats, Ripley first planned to call the cartoon "Chumps and Champs."
