Robert Ripley’s life was dedicated to travel, which was an obsession. He reported on and experienced unbelievable things in exotic places all over the world. The majority of his readers never experienced other cultures, so he expanded his daily cartoon subject matter from sports oddities to international Believe It or Nots! Upon his return to New York in 1923, The New York Globe newspaper which employed him, folded. Ripley was approached soon after this to produce a Believe It or Not! book. More than 500,000 copies were sold and in the eighteen months following publication of the first Believe It or Not! book, Ripley made more than $1 million dollars.
