Among the legion of Ripley imitators is this one from the Christian Science Monitor. Facts and Figures ran from December 7 1938 to December 5 1944, appearing an average of 1-3 times per week in that time.

The feature was originated by someone with the initials H.E.T. That cartoonist last produced the feature on March 4 1940. Starting on April 1 K. Parris took over and produced it until the end date.
