      <article><p>
Strange As It Seems was a radio show featuring strange and unusual stories about fantastic people and events, based on the daily syndicated newspaper cartoon panels created by John Hix. The show began as a 15-minute program on March 22, 1935, and aired on various schedules throughout the mid-1930s and into the late 1940s. Early shows were hosted by Gayne Whitman and sponsored by Ex-Lax, with production and direction by Cyril Armbrister, and music by Felix Mills. The show featured a mix of dramatized mini-plays, strange trivia facts, and occasional interviews. In August 1939, the show was picked up by the CBS network as a 30-minute program, with Alois Havrilla as the host and sponsorship by Palmolive Shave Cream. The Strange As It Seems radio show was similar to Ripley&#39;s Believe It Or Not and featured bizarre events that were comparable in nature, entertaining and educating its audience about the marvels of the world.
