Chapter: Comics
I’ve been sprayed in the face by those automatic vegetable misters before. There should always be a warning. There is one grocery store that I used to go to that had a great system. They played a constant background track of birds chirping. Then right before the misters went off there was a subtle clash of thunder in the background. It wasn’t long before all the veggie hunters were properly trained.

Oh man…There are too many deviant puns to go with this one >.>
Reference PETA’s attempt at a superbowl commercial…
Totally called Supermarket Week.
…i prefer the air conditioners here. XD
Hmmm. Didn’t get to see PETA’s attempt at a superbowl commercial.
So is public nudity legal in Biffland, or do they make an exception for him on the grounds that it’s one of the less dangerous things he could be doing?
Hmm, is Biff getting a little chubby?
Awesome….
@MadDavid: He’s half-dressed. Anyway, why is he showering with a towel on?
I always let thosse things get me.
I always get sprayed by that damn deodoriser the garbage trucks here spray. Here, they have a robotic arm that tips the bins into it, and then it goes FSSHHHT after it puts the bin down, to deodorise the area…
I have an easy solution to the problem of getting sprayed while hunting vegetables, simply stop hunting them. Who needs veggies anyways?
Wow, that’s a cool grocery store to have birds chirping and a warning before the rain. I might prefer nature sounds in general when shopping, actually. Birds chirping would also calm customers down, good for the cashiers.
Brrr…I’m thinking those veggie misters at the grocery probably aren’t spraying warm water! My local grocery has the thunderstorm warning signal too, it’s kind of interesting when there’s a real thunderstorm outside. Anyway, go for the celery Biff, that’s a good salad starter.
Yeah…my local grocery store has the thunder sounds, too. The nicer grocery store up the street, however, does not. Odd.
Mine used to play ‘Singing in the Rain’ right before the misters went off.
@speearr:are you implying that you want biff without a towel on?
I usually sabotage one or two of the mister nozzles as I go by so they do spray people in the face.
@Bryce – oh my goodness that’s amazing
Guh, all we have in Australia is underpaid assistants who walk around with a squirty bottle. Though it is fine to have squirty-bottle wars…
After not getting it for a while, I’m starting to love the Biffoverse.
The anecdote about the birds chirping track, the thunder and the veggie hunters being trained is amazing, almost better than the comic.
For as excellent company as vegetables make, I don’t know if its worth a cold shower to spend time with them…
Suggested caption for tomorrow: “Biff is no longer allowed in the grocery store.”
@Drakey – that’s probably a good title for the theme ๐
grocery shopping week?
vegetable sprayers? i really do live inth e past, i have no idea what they are :S
You really know how to help yourself to whatever’s available, Biff. He makes all of the crazy contraptions none would think of having (jet packs, rocket ships, room-sized garbage compactors and “breaders”) and doesn’t use the normal stuff we have!… like showers.
o___O
I’d be scarred for life if I saw that.
xD
I work as a bagboy at a supermarket so I found this comic particularly hilarious. Next time I do my rounds of the store I won’t be able to help but imagine Biff trying to bum a free shower off the misters. Also, I think the title of the theme should be “Lost in the Supermarket.” 10 points to whoever gets that reference.
DANGIT BIFF, you forgot the shampoo.
I hate those things.
I’m reaching for a nice head of lettuce when PSSSSSSH! I feel like I’m that pet that gets spritzed and the owner is yelling “No! Bad! BAD!” I just want my lettuce! Is that wrong!?
@jahg:
Well if what you say is true, Biff should try clicking one of those weight-loss ads I see EVERYWHERE on the ‘net now. (Can I visit one site where I don’t have someone’s fat stomach hanging out?)
what’s that purple thing on the shelf above the cucumbers?
its probably some guy up in a secuirity booth watching you through a camera, waiting for you to stick your head in there so he can push the button for the sprayer.
I think it’s like some kind of cabbage or something. It looks like purple cabbage leaves, anyway.
okay seriously though that towel looks like it’s about to fall off his hips.
WEIRD.
Once upon a time when I was working at a grocery store, some of the lighting in the produce case failed. The service guy came in, took a look, and said “Here’s your problem.” So the store manager took a look, too, just in time for the automatic sprayers to come on and blast them both full in the face. Such a beautiful moment.
My local grocery store plays thunder before they spray their veggies. It’s so cool.
“The service guy came in, took a look, and said โHereโs your problem.โ ”
XDDD Woow, That reminded me sooo much of Mythbusters.
Our stores always either have really loud mechanical sounds of it turning on, or something that sounds kinda like thunder…I dunno if it was actually meant to or not, though. x3
That sounds peaceful.
…
Is it just where I live?
WE DONT HAVE VEGGIE-SPRAYERS HERE!
|:( maybe it’s because im in the UK…
@starseedjenny – M.I.S. (*mental image stuck*) THANKS!
