#197 – Vacuum

Chapter: Comics
I loved sucking up things with the canister vacuum when I was a kid. Pennies and marbles were great because they made a lot of noise traveling up the hose. Legos were another favorite. I would vacuum up huge piles of them. There used to be a commercial showing a vacuum sucking up piles of quarters. I always wanted to try that but the best I could manage to get together was a handful of pennies.

They made a lego vaccuum, it was really cool, and I used it to clean up my lego when I was a kid
First post too
Yeah, that manual Lego vacuum was pretty cool. I used to just make a pile to see how many legos I could get in one sweep. I think it’s still up in our attic right now, probably sweeping up all the legos stored up there…
There was a Lego vacuum? I want one!
No wait, I want two, then I could put a bunch of Lego on the ground and have a competition with a friend for whoever picks up the most Lego wins.
Man, I did that too…it was all for the sound. I loved it. It was less pleasant when my parents found out though.
Love Biff’s facial expression there. 😛
I just discovered this through some now-forgotten link… and I am addicted! I am not sure what is better, though, the comics or the comments :). By the way, does Biff remind anone else of a june bug? I think it is those eyebrows/antenae…..
Biff’s expression = priceless. 😀
I never did attacked inncocent pennies when I was a kid, the noise they made really got on my nerves, I did like pushing it against my face though.
I love Biff’s expression, he only seems slightly miffed, as if having his face sucked off happens all the time, which, with Biff, it probably does.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever accidently given yourself a hickey with a vacuum.
*does the obvious*
*raises hand*
Wow… Biff’s face can sure take a lot of abuse.
he seems to have gained weight
lucky
*raises hand*
Indeed the vacuum is a play toy to a 12 year old boy just discovering his anatomy.
But such things are quickly replaced by more fleashy ones. ^-^

wow, how come i have never heard of a lego vacume, but biff looks like he had just had is body taken over by a skulland his face is in a pod so it can be sent to the mothership.love this comic.
But now his head has less meat on it than the last comic!
I always did the same thing as a kid. Pennies, Lego, buttons, even Barbie shoes, but those barely made any noise. I still do it, just not piles of it, haha.
I’ve mentioned before that I clean carpet for a living. The vacuum blowers on our truckmounted machine have all the power of a Ford engine behind them. They really will pull an eye out if you get the hose too close… 😀
Great comic as usual, Chris. Keep it up!
i keep coming back to today’s comic and it keeps making me smile. it’s neat to see biff’s skull. 😀 but his face in the vacuum is what tickles me most. thanks for giving us laughter and smiles and stuff, chris. you rock.
Yay! I knew calan would like the skull 🙂
I find that both disturbing and amusing. 😐
my dog is now afraid of vacumes
This comic is proof that Biff is empty-headed.
I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that for the 1st time, Biff is officially 2-Faced!
It looks like R2-D2 there with Biff’s face painted on his chassis.
The world is more advanced now. You can build Lego Robot Vacuums. Though if they’d been around when Biff was young he probably wouldn’t be alive today.
lol his experission in the vacum. God that’s funny.
Well, at least he won’t have to worry about getting stuff on his face…
Tsuki and I never had legos when were little. We have them now, but nobody will play with me. This makes me sad. 🙁
Biff’s expression is love. ^^
I’d think his skull would more resemble his… er… extended facial appendages..
I agree with dragonbrad.
The skull also seems too realistic for Biff’s world, which is awfully cartoony.
This comic actually reminds me of all those times my sister would attack me with the hose attachment and try to suck up all my hair. 😛
I always thought his eyebrows and mouth/stache were a part of his skull
wind up monkey replied to himself for dragonbrads he accidently posted my name ,i hate having brothers,espacialy whan you share a computer)but these comics are stupid,yet funny,chris do you know how to put up links
Ouch that’ll take a while to fix..

I just got back from BVI so I am graced with 5 new Biff comics.
Happy dance!
Colin, he doesn’t have a mustache.
Homo Sapiens Biffus is noted for its bizarrely proportioned facial features, as well as its astounding lack of common sense and its uncanny ability to survive in rather comical situations.
Biff: My skull didn’t seem that large last time…

Read the comic thing
“There used to be a commercial showing a vacuum sucking up piles of quarters. I always wanted to try that but the best I could manage to get together was a handful of pennies.”
Yeah. Those damn rich kids get to have all the fun.
I need a lego-cuum. And I fell out of the chair laughing when I saw this, then read it was for a penny.
That’s a futuristic-looking vacuum.
Good advice.
No eyebrows? Blasphemy.
Well, they’re in the vacuum. I guess I can let it slide.
I love the look on Biff’s face inside the vacuum chamber. It’s almost as though he’s looking at his body saying “You dumbass”.
Really? I think it looks more like a grimace of pain.
So he DOES have eyes and a mouth
I Love his face in the vaccum. i almost missed it!
That picture made me laugh out loud.
Tissues. Tissues are great. especially huge mounds.
