Wikipedia

[Big_Willie_Styles]

As anyone whose anyone knows, Wikipedia has become the best place to research small things, but is absosmurfly hated by teachers across the USA.

This brings me to my point, which is to get The Book of Biff an article on Wikipedia.  My Wikipedia account is PokeHomsar, but I've never made an article on Wikipedia before.     But I thought the best place to ask for help would be to directly ask fellow fans.  Biff is my favorite webcomic (tied with Homestar Runner,) but I'm unhappy that there's no article on Wikipedia for it.  So, will you guys help me?

I need articles, like news articles, on The Book of Biff or those Wikipedia "arbitrators" (my term for the administrators) will just delete it, like they did with F@NB0Y$.

I don't think there are enough articles currently in existence to satisfy wikipedia. There are lots of little blurbs around the net on blogs and such but wikipedia doesn't put much stock in them. There was one print article that came out last summer but it's not archived on their site. I have a copy here but it's probably not enough:

Webcomics Review: The Book of Biff

We all have that friend who makes terrible decisions. Who manages to have horribly awful things happen to them over and over again. Who can't seem to escape disaster at any turn. There was a time once when I myself was "that guy." It wasn't too long ago, either, though thankfully I've had the good fortune to not be "that guy" for some time now.

"That guy," has a new name: Biff.

Chris Hallbeck, the author of the webcomic The Book of Biff has put out 300 single panel examples of what not to do, starring his bald Biff whose wild mustache and wilder eyebrows convey all the expression necessary to state clearly how Biff feels about his latest calamity.

Each strip is set up the same way - there's some horrible injury that is about to happen or has recently occurred to our hero, Biff. The scene clues you into a few possible reasons for this injury, but the caption is both the explanation and the punchline.

There's a whimsy and absurdity to Biff's peril in each of the strips that create the humor. For example, in his 300th strip, poor Biff has managed to awaken the evil inside his Sleeping Bag, whose angry zipper teeth have already managed to devour his lower torso. In one strip, Biff is kneeling on a lawn with a carrot, which doesn't seem terribly fraught with peril until the caption explains "As his car keys hopped away, Biff's rabbit's foot keychain didn't seem very lucky."

Hallbeck will be releasing his first book of Biff comics shortly, but for you the time is right to learn many a valuable lesson from the hapless Biff. Get started reading before you do something ridiculous - like using sausages as a chain substitute, or take a nap in a construction site.

That's a mustache?

I thought it was a mouth...

[speearr]

Ahahahaha...the hapless Biff. What a nice description. If Biff had a middle name, it could be "Hapless"...

[Charlie]

Wouldn't he need a last name before he could have a middle name?  Otherwise, what would it be in the middle of?  I spose his name could be BiHaplessff, but that's just awkward to pronounce.

[DomanickX]

Hahaha, yeah thats true.

Hey charlie? Would you happen to be the bannana king?

[Ninja Bob]

Chaaarrliieee!!!  You're the Banana King, Chaarrlliieee!!!  You're the Banana King!!!!!!!

[Tenkyougan]

Biff's surname is clearly Hapless.

I mean, Biff Hapless even sounds like a real name.

[Silfedac]

Yeah, but I've always thought of Biff as Polish, sot it would have to be Haplesski.

[Pieman]

Or Haplecz.

[Silfedac]

That would be an acceptable alternative, yes.
