Chapter: Comics
I like going to someones house and they have a wall that is just crammed with art and photos covering every square inch. I’ll probably have a wall like this in my house eventually.

Well it seems people DO click those banner ads… I found you from yours at Gone with the Blastwave, and I have to say I think I found my new favourite. Your comic is absolutely remarkable. Excellent artwork, even in the early episodes, and very clever. This is the kind of humour the world seems to so sorely lack these days.
Wonderful… hehe, I actually Tetris-themed my bedroom like this when I was 9. My mom didn’t like it…
Keep up the good work!
Thanks DeiMiles, I still remember thinking that the game boy was kind of lame until I got my hands one one and played tetris for the first time. ๐
very clever ๐
i am totally hankering for tetris now. i bet i can find it free somewhere online. thanks, chris. my night will be most unproductive now. ๐
Glad to be of service calan, I’m a big fan of wasting time ๐
Sometimes I think I’m the only person who hates Tetris.
Loved the comic, though.
No, I’m sure there are plenty of people that don’t like Tetris… but it’s definitely popular.
If you make it, you must show us a picture of the Wall of Biff.
I will, I don’t think I have anything to put up yet. Someday though. ๐
Just found your comic from Gone With The Blastwave too, and must say, it’s quite awesome.
You have yourself yet another regular reader good sir…
And thanks for being such a good sport with comments, feedback and questions. Quite rare these days, and makes the comic even more compelling…
Just let ’em overlap a bit, like over the frames or on the very edge of pictures. Never mind how that works with bulky frames. It’s totally possible.
Mister OCD – Thanks for the compliment and welcome to this crazy place.
LordRetard – I’m sure Biff would find a solution eventually but I have a feeling broken glass would be involved.
i have actually run out of wall space doing something similar(only it was with various objects). they say that when you leave a well hung exhibition you shouldn’t remember the colour of the walls, well this is one way to ensure that happens.
I know someone that is getting close to filling a stairway wall with photographs. It’s actually pretty cool looking.
I hope one day to have that many pictures.
Tetris skills always come in handy at one point or another.
They’re great for when you help a friend move.
Hehehe, that is so true, it happened to me once :o.
Chris, this is a great comic, i too found this page with the ad on gone with the blastwave, you just got yourself another reader.
Thanks Leon, looks like my ad on gone with the blastwave did me well.
Im in this situation right now. I just got a new poster and am looking for a spot to put it.
And I’m sure your tired of hearing it(does anyone ever get tired of praise?) But great job with the comic, I love it. Oh, and by the way, Im another reader from Bob and George.
Thanks StrplingWarror. Good luck with the poster, have you covered your ceiling yet?
Wow, this comic actually made me laugh out loud. The only thing that really does that is Mind of Mencia and Stewie griffin the untold story. And so I tip my hat to you, this comic is so funny. I also found the comic using BnG.
Thanks Kuroi, you have a very nice hat.
heh, reminds me of my wall.
I found your comic through Bob and George. I generally ignore the ad banners, but yours had some good comics. I’m glad I clicked, some of these have been pure brilliance. Definitely one to bookmark.
Hi, I’m a new reader, I didnt come to your site from some other comic, no friend told me to get onto it, I haven’t clicked any links in some random forum no one’s ever heard of, and I haven’t come from any list of top webcomics. O_o i’ve just somehow ended up on your comic, and have read through the entire thing in the past few hours.
I’ve even made a few dozen posts on a lot of your comics.
I especially like the Crow comic, i don’t think i’ve ever lol’d so hard.
Gasp i’m an hour ahead of the posting time labeled, (right now its 11:17pm)
Thanks Kailen, I’m trying to work my way up from some brilliance to mostly brilliant. ๐
Thanks for all the comments Bach. The crow comic is a weird one, it doesn’t have very many fans, nice to know there is one more. The website is on Central time, you must be somewhere east of me.
That’s odd, I really liked Crow as well. The wording was subject to debate, but I thought you did a fine job conveying the point, and that’s what matters right?
I’m reminded of Garden State, a rather unique movie. It has a psychologist with a wall covered in diplomas to such an extent that one of them hangs off the cieling.
By the way I like this comic. Laughed at most of the pages so far, hysterically at some.
Thanks Maker. I liked Garden State but I don’t actually remember that scene. It’s been a few years. ๐ I should rent it again.
Sounds like the banner ads are working, heheh. I came from GwtBW, and as is with all these others, I’m sticking around.
Oh my god XD This is the most funny comic strip i’ve seen in Biff. This comic pwns! ^^
If its Tetris, Biff might accidentally fill a line and have rows of pictures disappear. That would make Biff cry.
P.S. There will never be too many pictures
To live is to learn, to learn is to understand.
I live in Fairbanks ,Alaska. Bon Boyage
Is it just me or does biff look …older ..in this comic?
Oh my… You’re a genius! This comic is the stuff ..
Thanks Anderson, I’m glad you enjoy them.
this comic is the inspiration for me and my friends’ new band
the tetris mafia
Heh, I use to love Tetris DX for the gameboy color. Only thing to get me to clean my room was put the boxes and table and TV in Tetris kind of way. Awsome comic man. I came over from Bob and george (clicked the link by accident but, I’m glad I did ^_^; ) and I’m gonna start reading your comic from now on ’cause Biff is just too funny for words. I tend to get into alot of stupid situations while doing simple tasks so I can relate to him. Just not enough that I could cut myself in half and survive. XD Keep up the good work!
Well I’m glad for happy accidental clicks. ๐
Now Biff can take shrooms and watch his fluffy bunny play Welltris all over his room. I wonder how many people have played Welltris…
looks like biff needs to add onto his house to complete his goal of the most pictures in one place.
I found you through drowtales, the side banner there was funny, so I clicked, lo and behold a hilarious webcomic. I need to play tetris now.
Since everyone seems to be saying how they found the comic in this one, I might as well, too. I have found the comic through various ad banners on other comic sites and have e-mailed the link to myself a few times in the past, but never got around to actually reading the comic. It always looked hilarious, but I payed pretty close attention to the arbitrary order in which I read my comics.
Then one day a friend of mine who also reads a lot of webcomics sent me this one. I immediately recognized it and finally gave in and started reading from the beginning. I’m really glad I did! Once I finally start up one of my own webcomics, I’ll post a link to your site if you don’t mind me doing so.
Anyone else ever notice that the buildings in the background of Tetris looked a lot like the Kremlin? And that the game came out during the height of the Cold War?

Essentially, yes, ะขะตััะธั is Russian.
Biff DOES look older somehow, but also more… distinguished.
Wierd.
Just like the staircase at my granny’s house.
i used to have a wall like that, my boyfriend liked it but my roommate made me take it down when she moved in =(
Between Tetris and TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan, I spent way too much time with my Game Boy.
I found you on GWtB. but i also have seen the banners around. I love this comic, its great, and I love that you talk to people. ^_^
I;m raeding from Miami, but I’m originally from Southside Chicago.
Wow, I actually gigled at a higher frequency than I can sing at when I saw this one! This is an awesome one!
I played every level of tetris on several hand-helds so many times, I’m sick of it. I also have the song on a permanent loop in my mind.
Silly Biff.
That’s what the ceiling is for.
I’m pretty good at tetris and I like this one. Wish i actually had enough hangy stuff to make a wall like this but I think my mask and samurai swords can keep me happy. I have three samurai swords and a handmade mask.
Also, since everyone seems to be posting how they came here on here I clicked a link on a webcomic called Flickerflame which I get to by the link on Mindmistress.. That’s all folks!! ๐
i found ur link from an ad and i say it really funny and i rarely read one box comic i am going to tell my other comic freak friend about this keep up the good work
haha
I have a running gag with my friends about how good i am at tetris
If one of my friends saw that wall
they’d say
“whoa did you have michael do your interior design?”
I didn’t know Biff was into video games… ๐ฎ
T_T so true
Nonsense. Paintings on paintings!
I remember how I didn’t know how to play tetris, and I’d always lose trying to make lines all the same color.
Man, is this ever the truth!
Thankfully, your paintings will not disappear when you fill a row of them.
Knowing Biff, they might disappear.
Who am I to ignore peer pressure? I came here from Schlock Mercenary, and I don’t intend to go back.
I respectfully Disagree.
I came from S.M. also, but plot equals humor in my book – I’m keeping both.
That never occurred to me. Good idea!
i found you on Halolz, and i’ve been reading for a while. I had a good feelung from the ad, and i have to say, i love this site!
#1:Ctrl-alt-del
#2:book of biff
#3: least i could do
#4 halolz
#5 vgcats
you messed up my ranking system! great work, tho.
I play Fridge-Tetris. Apparently I’m the only one in my house who can figure out how to rearrange leftovers and other containers in the refridgerator to maximize storage space.
wow, apparently a lot of people found you through Gone with the Blastwave, which was a good comic, sadly gone now x.x I actually found you earlier today through Abandon: First Vampire, you’re the only ad on there pretty much and it looked funny so i checked it out, glad i did, enjoying this so far, gonna keep reading
