#457 – Roller

Nonsense meetings waste a lot of time at places I have worked. Sometimes it seems that the meeting is just for one person to get up in front of us and talk about themselves for an hour. I guess it’s not all bad… I usually get some crazy doodles out of them.

The pre-order is almost at 75%! The main interior pages are ready and now I’m working on the bonus material. Pre-order Book #2 now and your copy will be in the first batch to ship out when they are ready.

    “And if you’ll look at the green section of this pie chart…. Oh my.”

    The Duck Has Spoken.

  2. Micah says:

    That’s when they bring in sheets of paper and put them up to project on.

    But seriously, I didn’t realize Biff was a jerk.

    The Micah Has Spoken.

  3. RFPT says:

    Roller, eh? just a coincidence Gary Gygax died yesterday?
    Biff’s not a jerk, he’s just…resourceful.

    The RFPT Has Typed.

  4. Wiser Guy says:

    It may seem mean, but Biff certainly knows how to manage his time.

    The Wiser Guy Has Learned.

  5. Halceon says:

    “As you can clearly see the grass growers alliance, here represented in green, has… already taken over the world. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a dire situation, we need some solution ideas. Biff?”

    I may not be at work yet, but I’m taking a creative writing course and have a certain lecturer who is pretty pleased with the fact he’s been published and seems to believe that his way of writing is the only way to write in the entire universe, so I can sympathise with the idea of listening to someone talk about themselves for an hour. X3

    And uhh… everyone before me seems to be doing this so…

    The JezMM Has Spoken.

  7. Harlequin says:

    should have painted the projectors lens instead of the screen.

  8. Plankster says:

    NO! Never harm a projector! I work making sure that they work correctly, and I get upset whenever anyone tries to mess one up. The screen, though, that’s totally cool.

    Working A/V gives me the unique opportunity to attend some of the most boring meetings imaginable. However, I do have a beautiful flower made of Gaffer’s tape that was spawned from the depths of boredom while listening to some dude talk about recruitment for my university.

    The Plankster has mindlessly followed everyone else like a sheep.

  9. lost260 says:

    Biff is trying to hide the screen so that no one can find it for the production. He should have used invisibility paint like on his car, instead of painting the screen the same color as the wall.

    The person with the Alias “lost260” has typed into his computer an long and badly grammaticized series of words about the above “Biff” comic that lost260 has just finished reading.

    I killed it…

    Looks like Biff is screening his meetings.

  12. Seraphine says:

    Carol in accounting has a pantsuit
    to match that paint exactly. Awesome!

  13. Brett says:

    I wonder how well a presentation’d show up on a green screen…

    Disembodied head time?

    The Brett has…hecking spoken.

  14. trevor says:

    6 theme weeks in a row?

  15. Chris says:

    @trevor – Has it been that many now?

  16. MaskedMan says:

    Yup. Definately Business Efficiency week. Remove all the time-wasters and cost-multipliers, and get on with getting things done.

    I want to be Biff when I grow up.

  17. MoosePhysh says:

    Where does Biff work that it allows him to present (or not listen to presentations) in jeans and t-shirts?

  18. Reg says:

    Come on, Biff! If you don’t let other people show their presentations how will you expect to take over the world? At least, I think that might be Biff’s job. And quite a few people have “spoken”…

    Ze Reginald Hast Articulated.

  19. Joe says:

    It’d be cool to see some meeting doodles.

  20. Gobbledegook says:

    Biff’s not being a jerk if he’s not interrupting a serious presentation like quarter planning or budgeting, or something. Otherwise he’s doing a public service.

    The Gobbledegook has gibbered.

  21. pieman says:

    i suppose watching paint dry would be more interesting than the presentation.

    Stop copying psychoDucks siggy! its not funny if its been done before!!

    thine pieman hast spaken.

  22. Reynard says:

    Just want to write something that’ll give me an excuse to say:

    The Reynard has ranted!

    School assemblies.
    Mid-year school assemblies.
    Mid-year school assemblies to remind the students not to get into fights/text/dress inappropriately.
    Mid-year school assemblies to remind the students not to get into fights/text/dress inappropriately and brag about/whine about random things.

  24. PsychoDuck says:

    The Trend-Setter Has Spoken.

  25. haha! i am a biff too, and have only just stumbled across this awesome collection. love it. just read the whole lot.

  26. SHOTGUNsniper says:

    SHOTGUNsniper points out:

    The psycotic duck has been saying hes spoken for quite a while now.

  27. Reg says:

    Yes, yes he has.

    “The Gobbledegook has gibbered.”
    Try saying that 5 time fast!

  28. insertnamehere says:

    well, last time I posted I’d just finished reading all of the biffs. Also, I was the third one I noticed to copy duck boy there. I might not have been, but to me I was. I agree about not copying PsychoDuck, but that just means you have to make up your own one! it’ll be fun! *claps happily*.

    So says the nameless one

  29. The commenter says:

    I like the shade of green he’s using.

    The commenter has commented.

  30. Gaara1357 says:

    Now class we will learn colors. Today’s color is blu…uh today’s color has changed to green (and it will forever continue to be).

  31. Gaara1357 says:

    oh and Gaara has… annoyed the teacher 😛

  32. MasterMenthe says:

    @The Commentator – You should’ve said ‘The commentator has commentated’

    Hmmm… I don’t really know how to follow the trend…

    BTW: my name apparently means ‘Mint’ in Latin, like ‘Minty Fresh’.

  33. Psymon says:

    Why does everyone commenting on this particular comic have a “signature”?

    Psymon said naught.
    (ah, because it is fun to do once in a while, and easier when everyone else before you has also done so.)

  34. biggo says:

    With yesterday’s and today’s comics you definitely nailed my average day at work. Noisy colleagues always interrupting me (“is it done? Why isn’t it done yet? I’ll come in 10 minutes to see if it’s done”) and 4 hours meetings about the problem of always being past the deadline o_O

    – the biggo has blabbered. –

  35. Deteramot says:

    I think his time would be better spent with duct tape.

    So sayeth I, by the power avested in me, by me being me.

  36. Dartigen says:

    That looks like optic green paint.

    Would it make the projector quality even better?

    Most annoying things in projected presentations:
    bugs on the projector
    marks on the wall/screen
    people who can’t work overhead projectors right, so it’s skewed to one side, or blurry, or bent at the top and bottom, or etc.

  37. Twigs says:

    The Twigs has spoken.

    Wait, no, she hasn’t.

    Also: Death to all time-wasting meetings!!
