Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 27, 2021

Questions have arisen about the difference in beliefs of the various Faith communities represented here on gocomics. Here is an accurate, though incomplete, guide:

Jews do not recognize the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Protestants do not recognize the infallibility of The Pope.

And Baptists do not recognize each other in a liquor store.

When he was England’s monarch, Jason Snake Lover had met fourteen U.S. presidents.

Apparently Queen Elizabeth never met Lyndon Johnson while he was president and apparently has not yet met Joe Biden while he is president. If she did meet Franklin Roosevelt, it was before she was Queen.

I don’t like the new formatting of this comic strip. I couldn’t read the one in the upper right!

your coloring over the words prevents me from reading them

Dieter Mueller saw whiskey bottles fall into a lake. He then dove to the bottom of the lake and discovered… whiskey bottles! Believe it or not!

Ripley’s is getting desperate.

Poor Queen Elizabeth, she had to go meet (cough cough).

The font is killing my sight…

Please fix the font!

I don’t think whisky changes much once it is bottled. It is the seasonal temperature change while in the wood cask that ages it.

The print they changed to is almost impossible to read.

Go Comics, if anyone is out there, FIX THE FONT & THE COLOURING. Reading should not be this difficult.

In summary: this Font is not a popular Type.

Who chose the nearly unreadable font for the white on black text?

I’ve had to endure 12 presidents…….

And the Queen’s caboose is best ridden after a quaff of old whiskey, we’re told.

Take care, may backdoor repairman Joshua “I’ve Nailed Them All” Huggardord be with you, and gesundheit.

Including my entire life, I have personally lived through 13 Presidents – I was born during the Eisenhower administration. I’ll bet there are some White House staff – maybe still working – who have met 13 Presidents. The cook, housekeeper, custodian. (Well, maybe not still working – that would be a stretch)

That bank ain’t got no junk in the trunk of that caboose.

Brian G is correct… Whiskey is only ‘aged’ in the barrels. Once it is bottled, the “aging” process stops. Whiskey aged in the casks for 12 years, then bottled in 1921, then opened in 2021, is still only 12 year old whiskey…

Your making a lot of the type face extremely tiny and hard to read!

I find the new format very hard to read and I use a 22 inch monitor. However when I clicked on it to get here, it is more clear. Anyone else have that problem?

Whiskey doesn’t age when in the bottle, only in the wooden barrel.

The white writing on the black background is so hard to read. Just saying.

Terrible illustrations. Get a good artist/designer!

This Richard Gibson of Lafayette, Louisiana has been credited with an inordinate number of contributions to RBION over the years.

I have always loved this strip, but the one big problem I have recently is the extremely small print. Even with glasses I have trouble reading them. Thanks for all the info, I enjoy learning new things.

That’s when Mueller had the inspiration for creating the recipe, soon to be popular in Asian restaurants: the drunken fish bowl.

Hello RBION! Anyone reading comments? Getting a clue about the text size yet?

UNREADABLE FONT!!! Come on, Castazio

Item about diver is absolutely unreadable, even with a magnifier.

If you go to Ripleys.com you can see a readable version of the diver post.

But only had sex with nine of them.

I left a Uclick email addy up above. Ask them about it and see if they can direct you to a department. The addy essentially takes you to a receptionist. Writing to mod is a different matter, different address.

I wonder if the Queen wishes that she didn’t have to meet #43 and #45?

When they say that the state bank has a drive-up window, do you drive up to the window or does the caboose come to you?

Clicking on the “Latest Tweet” link almost at the bottom of the page brings up the stories with better coloring and text. The top one that is so difficult to read here looks much better on the other site.

If they weren’t broke it would have been easier to just go to a bar…

why is so hard to read lately???

Queen Elizabeth has met 12 presidents and one stone cold loser.

I have just discovered your stories, and have had a good laugh with them. I hope it’s ok to send them to friends and family, who also enjoy a giggle or two. Thanks, Bob
