#674 – Kabob

I had a reoccurring dream when I was a kid that I had some sort of telescopic vision. I would go outside at night and look up into the stars searching for alien spacecraft. When I would find them they looked like little white triangles like in the game asteroids. I was always sad when I would think about it during the day and realize that it was just a dream.

    No wonder he hit the planet, there are no windows on his ship!

  2. Linuxexorcist says:

    or doors, or fueling ports or lights, that thing is a deathtrap!
    that planet must be pretty soft, traveling at two-thousand miles an hour and hitting anything would be a little bit jarring

  3. MaskedMan says:

    Where’s a traffic cop when you need one?

    – and –

    Is this Biff’s version of an “earth-shattering kaboom..?”

  4. Micah says:

    I’m sorry…my mind went STRAIGHT to the gutter when I saw this.

  5. Speakerblast says:

    @Micah

    thanks a lot… I had a nice wholesome comment prepared and now I forgot it.

    @Everyone- vote for Biff, we can climb out of the basement of the standings here!

  6. speearr says:

    Does this count as genocide? Or is there another term when an entire planet’s population is involved…?

    Biff will enter history books!!! Not the small green planet’s ones, though…. There’s noone left there to write nothin’.

  7. Zerris says:

    I call Rocket Ship Week!

  8. SEA says:

    Nah, at the current time, there has NEVER been another living being in the comics =p

  9. Whoever is the pilot of that space ship has the brain of a peacock.

  10. Cryos says:

    There was the reccurring squid, isn’t it considered a living being?

  11. teh n00b says:

    @speearr
    we could use the term “xenocide”, the destruction of an entire sentient species.

  12. Kit-Kun says:

    Wow. I don’t know if I should feel sorry for Biff or the aliens. Love this comic.

  13. He probably climbs in through the rocket at the bottom…

    You know, that planet doesn’t really look large enough to have life, so we’re probably safe there.

    But my mind went straight to Hitchhiker’s Guide, and the alien invasion army that came to Earth with a million ships that got swallowed by a small dog, due to an error in scale. Those errors in scale can be quite annoying!

    Interesting story about the telescopic-vision dream. When I was younger I used to believe that I could see molecules if I looked closely enough. I would stare very hard at my thumbnail and delude myself into thinking that my efforts had been rewarded with a glimpse of the microscopic world. Fortunately, now that my eyes have fully developed I am able to see even quarks.

  15. DTanza says:

    I can just imagine Biff coming around and all the tiny aliens coming up and looking just like mini-Biffs.

    Mini-Biff: The great destroyer has returned!

  16. starseedjenny says:

    @ teh n00b – Props for knowing Xenocide

  17. Micah says:

    @Speakerblast: Glad I could be of service.

    @teh n00b and starseedjenny: Is that a real word or did Orson Scott Card create it?

  18. greenimp says:

    biff seems to be getting more and more suggestive these days

  19. Whoops. Insurance is so not going to cover this one.

  20. Libraman says:

    More like “There goes the neighborhood”.

  21. Linzleh says:

    Did Biff hit the rest stop?

  22. Onishii says:

    I think it might be universe week? Or alien week? Or space week?

  23. Wolfgang says:

    Xeno means stranger doesn’t it? So that would be the destruction of something or someone that is different or something along those lines. I couldn’t find it on dictionary.com but wiktionary and Urban Dictionary had something similar to teh noob’s definition.

  24. Kurast says:

    I had dreams where if it was windy enough I could get lifted off the ground with enough concentration.

    I still think one of those instances was real, given the hurricanes we got often

  25. Balrog says:

    I wonder how much its going to cost for Biff to repair damage to an entire planet.

  26. GADefence says:

    Yeah, Micah, I though just about the same thing when I saw this.

  27. brickface says:

    Hmmm, I wonder if biff has had is eyes checked lately.

  28. alecho says:

    The planet should’ve posted a sign saying, “if you see this sign then you are too close.” 😉

  29. MaskedMan says:

    @Micah;
    Scott Orson Card was apparently the first to use ‘Xenocide,’ but the constructio is correct and so it is indeed a real word, albeit a fairly new one. It means basicaly “stranger killing” or “foriegner killing” with a connotation of ‘complete annihilation of a tribe or people not my own.’ ‘Democide’ would be another possible choice, but that’s more aimed at what we more commonly call ‘ethnic cleansing,’ especially as part of government policy.

  30. starseedjenny says:

    @ Micah – Both. 😉 It’s a word that was coined by Orson Scott Card.

  31. Robin says:

    …so THAT’S what happened to Krypton.

  32. Akaroshii says:

    WELL. If there WAS life on that planet, there ain’t anymore!

  33. The Dukenator says:

    Could this be a followup to #290?
    http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2007/07/16/290-gas/

    Biff, while distracted by the gas cap, crashes into a nearby planet.

  34. Kenji the Ninja says:

    Biff makes my brain hurt.

  35. Deteramot says:

    Those aliens are gonna be pissed.

    The ones that didn’t die, I mean.
