#700 – Minestrone

Chapter: Comics
My lunchtime struggles are along the lines of, forgot to bring soy sauce, lost my spoon or it’s not hot enough and I have to walk back to the microwave. These are minor obstacles but always seem very important when sandwiched between two halves of your work day. I have enough problems as it is without having to suffer through eating plain rice.

My dad keeps forgetting to pack a spoon in my lunch, and on Friday I think he tried to screw with my mind by packing two. That’s the last time I ever complain about untensils to him.
Also, judging by the label, I don’t think Biff would be wise to cut that.
Oh, also, because I forgot, happy 700 comics.
AWESOME Sword Wielding Biff!
(please let it be sword wielding Biff week)
*Agrees with The Dustin*
Sword Wielding Biff is amazing…
And happy 700
I dunno, Speakerblast, it should be safe. It’s already split, right?
Nice drawing of Samurai Biff, Chris!
I have a whole shelf of canned foods getting dusty in my pantry because I don’t have a can opener.
Clearly, it’s samurai week. Hopefully Biff has a samurai’s level of blade control to slice through the can and not bury it halfway through the table.
Regarding lunch time, I’m pretty obsessive when it comes to making sure I minimize the time wasted during lunch down to the second (if only I was like that during work, heh)
-Samurai week
-Lunch week (That’s a weak guess, though)
-Classic SNL skit week
I would totally plotz at Biff in either a bee suit or Conehead.
XD
This is going to be one funny week. Let’s not jump to conclusions now. Remember what happened before? Now, it might be samurai, or it might be Japanese warriors. I don’t know. Only one way to find out….
@dareon: I doubt Chris is a SNL fan.
The can label fully reads “Split Atom Soup”
Woohoo! Congrats on 700!
Clearly Biff is wielding a ninja-to, not a katana which is a samurai sword. Biff was a ninja recently, wasn’t he? This could be ninja week cleverly disguised as samurai week!
@DaveF – It’s supposed to be a katana… after the drawing was done I realized that the blade should have been curved a bit. That’s what I get for drawing stuff like that from memory. :p
Now that I see this comic, Biff reminds me about Samurai Jack! Well, only in the sense that they don’t speak at all.
No school today plus comic numero 700 being here, I feel like celebrating! And I hope this week’s theme is “Problems CAN Be Solved With Violence”.
Happy 700!
And hello, Biff Belushi Week!
Happy 700th, Biff!
Oh, I get it. Split pea soup. Clever. Multiple levels of wordplay there.
Happy 700th!
Also, you should have that on a shirt, it looks totally awesome.
@Reg – So maybe it’s ‘Biff is also Samurai Jack’ week?
Judging by the title, i’d say it’s Soup Week
Neat, I’m making rice right now as I read this.
congrats on 700, Chris…this is truly awesome
700 comics and there still literally the most hilarious things ever, how do you manage to come up with more absolutely awesome single panel jokes then i believed actually existed?
This is the 3rd joke that references Nuclear Energy I believe and it strikes a cord with me for that reason!
samurai biff week!
Happy 700!
Is it possible that we can reach 1000!?
*dies*
@DTanza – Yes! Sometime in April 2010!
Great Comic!!!
Also, why should there be a “theme” each and every week?
Just enjoy Biff’s adventures and split atoms.
Just found your site (linked from dinosaur comics). You have an impressive collection of hilarious work! I can now smile during my workday again. Thank you.
Actually it was from pictures for sad children, sorry got mixed up :p
Those new “easy open” cans break fingernails. It’s true! It’s happened to me more than once.
That’s Biff! Always on the cutting edge…
(Happy 700th!)
@ Chris (not the author): I had to wait about 2 weeks to open my cans of tuna (when I got to college) because I forgot to bring a can opener >.>
I should have taken the Biff route…
Ha! 😀 I like Biff. Congrats on 700 comics, and here’s to hoping you reach 1,000. 😉
@ IDK and DTanza
Seeing Chris’s 100% update record (counting guest comics as updates) I think it is safe to assume that he will reach 1000!
It took me a second to realize the can was partially turned and said ‘oup’ – I read it as ‘Pup’ and thought he was going to eat dog food.
Happy 700.
I hope you reach infinity!
😛
Happy 700 to all of us!
funny thing is, put a Kimono on Biff and he would look like a samurai.
sounds like my friend at lunch brake
Happy 700th, Chris. Geez. 700 comics. Is #1000 really that far off? hmmm 5 comics a week, 52 weeks a year make about 210 comics a year. 300 away so… yea I guess about April ’10.
hahaha! Biff is definitely the Last Samurai! 🙂
The way the can’s positioned, it looks like “Split Atom Pup”. Could be a superhero in that can!
I can see “Split Atom Soup,” Garrett.
Congratulations on 700 comics Chris!
The way the can is done, at first glance, i couldn’t tell if her had already cut it or not.
reminds me of Anakins saber weilding form ya know?
the king has spoken!
I CHALLANGE BIFF TO A SAMURAI SHOWDOWN!
and the eyebrows just make this samurai more AWESOME
*cracks up* I thought it was pretty funny, then I saw the ad for the samurai swords on the webpage right next to it, and laughed out loud. *snorts*
*facepalm* oh, Biff…this will end badly…
