Robert LeRoy Ripley (December 25 1890 – May 27 1949) was an American cartoonist entrepreneur and amateur anthropologist who created the world famous Ripley's Believe It or Not! newspaper panel series radio show and television show which feature odd 'facts' from around the world. Subjects covered in Ripley's cartoons and text ranged from sports feats to little known facts about unusual and exotic sites; but what ensured the concept's popularity may have been that Ripley also included items submitted by readers who supplied photographs of a wide variety of small town American trivia ranging from unusually shaped vegetables to oddly marked domestic animals all documented by photographs and then depicted by Ripley's drawings.
