    The February 10 cartoon misstated the year of Franklin Roosevelt’s death. He died in 1945, not 1943.

      Thank you for bringing this error to our attention. We will fix the cartoon in our archives so that we don’t repeat it. Even Ripley’s has typos, Believe It or Not!

    The Feb 10th cartoon stated F.D. Roosevelt died on April 12th, 1943. In fact, it was 1945. Someone missed the oversight. Thank you for the tidbits of knowledge you share in an entertaining way!
