#511 – Crush

It’s really weird trying to drink soda on an airplane. They give me a tiny little cup, jam it with ice and then fill it within a molecule’s distance from the rim. The plane seems to go through some rolling hills of turbulence as I try to drink it. My head and my hand do a little dance, bobbing about trying to connect soda with lips. Having said all that, I’ve never actually spilled anything.

    Astronaut week?

    Man, what a waste of good space suit.

  3. Wiser Guy says:

    After looking at this, for some strange reason, if I was completely bald, I’d like to put on that helmet once and fill it up to just below my nose with cream soda.

    Unfortunately, even if I did somehow shave off all the hair off my head and eyebrows, I seem to have a perpetual 5’oclock shadow, no matter how often I shave.

    Whoa, space week. To be honest, the thought crossed my mind, but then I thought “Who the hell would let Biff in a space ship?!?!”

  5. trevor says:

    Ooh, will this week actually follow a story? Like biff takes off, biff is in space, biff makes some aliens mad, biff escapes, biff accidently breaks a satelite, and biff sees the effects when he gets back down to earth.

  6. PsychoDuck says:

    I doubt it, trevor. That’s one comic too long 😀

  7. Tarrant says:

    I’m with trevor actually, maybe biff’s untoaster will be a hit with the aliens?

  8. Heinrich says:

    maybe biff _is_ an alien.

  9. SEA says:

    Could this actually be a story? Who knows! XD

    I really laughed at this one ^_^

    That, or i am going nuts =p

  10. Just Ryan says:

    I used to hate the airplane cups…I just ask for the can now to save my shirts.

    And Biff in space? I wonder how his eyebrows will look…

  11. I just finished reading through all of the Biff comics, and I have to say I’m hooked. Chris, your strips are like the Far Side, but funnier, a better compliment I can’t think of.

    I love how dedicated you are to updating every single weekday.

    Oh, and as a bassist, a bass-related musicjoke would be nice to see!

    Greetings from Sweden!

    sound advice, Biff. Hang on… That isn’t what normally happens. normally it’s “biff realizes” or something. Not advice. oh well. As for The Comment (yes it does need capitals), I have never been on a airplane. or in it. I’ve never found a need to use one. My favorite part of going on holiday is the drive. I sit there and listen to music, or watch the DVD on the laptop while drinking soda… I’m trailing off now, so I’ll shut up.

  13. Chivalrybean says:

    Yeah, say no ice and you get the whole can, or I suppose if you just ask for the can and not a cup they would do that, but ‘ve never tried that… that’s me a having to be subtle and needing a couple more vertibrae on my spine.

  14. Chris says:

    @Samuel from Sweden – Thanks! Maybe I’ll have to do a musical instruments week and throw a bass guitar in the mix.

  15. Erlynne says:

    I love how his eyebrows go through the helmet. 🙂

  16. kenshin620 says:

    …Oh great, Biff won another rocket inside a box of cereal XD

  17. Sciuridae says:

    Since I have never spilled soda -or coffee, which I prefer while on a flight- during a turbulence, I thought it was something that everyone could do since I get food and drinks on my clothes just by sitting at the table. Yes, I never learnt to eat properly.

    I know from experience
    grape soda is STICKY!!!

  19. PsychoDuck says:

    I like how this comic almost has a moral. You know, as if this is a tidbit of knowledge we’ll all have to make good use of sometime in the near future.

    Because you just can’t go into space without grape soda!

    The Duck Has Spoken.

  20. Micah says:

    I knew Crush made orange soda, but I didn’t realize they made grape soda.

  21. no name says:

    Personally, I hate grape soda. Rocket week or Space week? Cool!

    @ trevor & Tarrant – I hope there’s a plot to the week. I don’t think there’s much time, though.

    Has there ever been a plot in a week of Biff?

  22. dragonbrad says:

    honestly, this is my least favorite comic, it was to hard for me to get without looking at the description

  23. taber_man says:

    I loved the title of this, as Crush is the best grape soda ever made!

    btw, I’m with Samuel from Sweden, in that you should make a music related comic that goes with bass guitar/upright bass. (I happen to be a bassist as well!)

    very nice as always, Chris!

  24. DGexe says:

    I have been fortunate enough to have never spilled soda (as far as I can remember) in an plane… and yet, I despise how full they insist on filling the cups up! Ugh. Fortuantely again, last time I was on a plane, I asked just for the can. Canned-trained is me!

  25. William Syler says:

    My dad knows has experienced about what biff is going through. He once drank coffee at 2 times gravity before. 0_o

    He was on an Airbus A330 Engineering Flight Test in Germany, and as they made a 360 degree turn and 60 degree bank, over a 2 minute span, my dad drank his coffee.

    He works for an avionics company, which works with Airbus and such.

    Long time reader, first time commenter. Love Biff’s crazy adventures. Keep up the good work.

  26. MaskedMan says:

    Space week!

    Soda in the eyes at 7Gs of acceleration must *sting*…

  27. Torg says:

    It does. Very much.

  28. Haywire says:

    It would be awesome if there were aliens that actually breathed (and therefore filled their spacesuits with) grape soda. I love all things grape flavored, especially soda.

  29. Evil Engine Number Nine says:

    PROTIP: Ask for the can. They will give it to you.

  30. NoobSauce says:

    I just lean down to the cup and try to drink out of it without disturbing it. Then, once it’s empty enough, I pick it up. So far, it’s worked.

  31. YukiSnowflake says:

    hhmmm….
    does that mean you should open lemonade while you’re leaving the atmosphere?
    (ouch! worse than lemonade water fight… refreshing…. lol)
    I can get around spilling canned drinks though!
    You just open it a bit until it makes the pffsfssfsfs noise, then STOP. and drink it like that.
    I do that, drink the whole drink, and give my brother a can that LOOKS UNOPENED.
    anyway, back on topic, did he get the spacesuit from whoever gives him all his science stuff?
    (or whoever he steals it from?)
