THE STORY BEHIND THE CARTOONS
It’s no exaggeration to assert that in the early part of the last century Ripley’s Believe It or Not! cartoons sparked a whole new family ritual in American households. When The New York Globe was flung onto porches each morning, all generations scrambled to view the daily, quirky cartoons that presented the incredible and the unusual in illustrated form. Like postcards sent from a traveling friend, the black-and-white sketches were as much a breakfast ritual as pancakes and muffins, a form of global, interactive communication, an early-day Facebook or Twitter.
Back then, cartoons were popular, quick-read journalism, the pictures adding fast information and atmosphere to newspaper reports, in a time before photographs could be sent to a paper at the press of a button.
