Ripley's Believe it or Not - We Own Weird. Accept No Substitutes

So glad to see the artist has a blog, and expanded page! I follow the comic daily, and have always been curious about him. He’s very talented, does a great job with the Ripley-style artwork, and should be featured more prominently in Ripley World! Excellent changes to this site!

ever since I saw the first cartoon i was a big fan. at one point i had all the books up to the twentysomthing edition,when he died and the cartoons werent quite the same and lack of enough to read underneath i lost some interest to be frank.i am well pleased now though with your books using photos,your art and television and websites.i am shure robert would have been well pleased as you seem to have found your way and have kept a real gem concept alive and well.bravo and thanks. i am curious why the book robert ripley a modern marco polo has not been reissued with perhaps an added final two chapters on his demize and all the projects up to now ? it was a real treat and his life was in itself very entertaining odd and amazing. such as the claim [i dont doubt] that him and his brother invented pro wrestling,or his fasinich with the orient{modern marco polo. with more to tell of his story and his legacy and better printing of photos i really wonder why such a marvelous book has not been issued. anyhow may he rest in peace and many many thanks for keeping it alive and well . happy holidays. at your service should you require it ever sincerely mark d. kirk. p.s. a short reply would be nice .
