The latest comic discussion

[Silfedac]

Viruses got you down, Defiance?

[Ðefiance]

Trooooooooooooooooooooooooojan...

[SSBMPichu]

There Biff goes, getting yet another huge contraption.

[Silfedac]

Where does he keep all of them?

[Ðefiance]

In his pocket, probably.

[Mystery Fish]

Like Link! Hammerspace ftw.
On a completely unrelated note, and a fact which I would not have noticed had Sil not pointed it out (cheers, Sil )... SIX! SIX, SIX! The number of the beast! *Rambles on*

EDIT: Just to give this post a purpose (and also to keep my nifty post count).

Did the force of that blast send Biff's head flying, or am I overestimating a fire hydrant's power?

[Chris Hallbeck]

No his head is still there.

...this time. 

[Mystery Fish]

Ah well, Biff has adventures five times a week, he's bound to lose it again eventually... I hope
Nuuuu, my post count of awesome is GONE T_T

[SSBMPichu]

I want a cup of Biff all of the sudden.

[Mystery Fish]

Call me stupid if you want, but I don't get it. Does Biff have to dunk the melons into the bag when he's in the shop, or does he have some kind of melon basketball tournament every so often?

[Chris Hallbeck]

The basketball hoop is in his kitchen... his urge to toss the melon through the net is greater than eating it. The bag is in the foreground on the table next to Biff and the hoop is in the background on the wall. It wasn't until I had already posted the comic that I noticed that they lined up like that making it look like the bag is under the net. I'll probably fix that when book 4 is printed

[Shy]

Kentan, I don't think it's stupid, my mistake was stupider. I at first didn't understand it at all. I just saw Biff standing there holding a melon, not wanting to eat it. Then I saw the net and I was like "Cool! Biff has a b-ball net in his kitchen."

10 minutes later I finally got it.

[Silfedac]

So Shy, are you planning on posting on the introduction thread?

[SSBMPichu]

So Shy, are you planning on posting on the introduction thread?

What's the fun of that?

And also, that would be pretty awesome. One time use though 

[Shy]

I already did although it was awhile ago. I can post again if you would like.

[Silfedac]

You need to post a new one with less Iowa.

[Shy]

With less Iowa? Well, I think I could manage that since I'm going to college in Missouri.

[Silfedac]

Then Do it, by all means!

[SSBMPichu]

LolI'mtheonlyonethatusesthisthreadalotanymore.

*cough*

I can understand why Biff roasted the timer. It does sort of look like an egg after all.

But still, Biff must be rich to get all this stuff. Or has insurance for everything.

[Silfedac]

Or maybe everything just goes back to normal. As if nothing ever happened.

[Orangey]

You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of side-ways gravity and razor bushes but of giant eyebrows. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Bifflight Zone!

[Ðefiance]

OR, it could be this dimension, in another dimension.

[Orangey]

I like that you took all the time to actually illustrate each note. Biff certainly has some eclectic things to remember.

Is it just me, or is Biff's nose more up-turned than usual?

[Orangey]

Sorry for the double-post; more people need to post in this thread.

I'm really interested in ceramics; I have to say that it's one of my strongest passions. Primarily at the moment, I'm interested in formulating glazes. It's a lot of fun, and I get to handle cool chemicals, not to mention the fact that I get to create the perfect colors for my pieces, rather than rely on pre-made glazes. It's not terrifically hard; there're reliable colorants to get most every color: white(tin oxide), black(black iron oxide), grey(magnesium chromate), brown(manganese chromate), blue(cobalt chromate), green(chrome oxide), red(red iron oxide), and yellow(yellow ochre). However, purples and oranges remain remarkably elusive. Combinations of tin and chrome work well for Orangey, but at the temperature we fire at, they burn off in the kiln. Cadmium produces lovely and vibrant oranges, but is really toxic and requires a lead flux(a chemical that aids in melting); you get a nice Orangey, but a double whammy of cadmium and lead poisoning. Fun!

So, in the 1950s,  a solution was... Uranium based glazes. They produced lovely red-Orangey colors. With radiation! Under the right frequency of ultra-violet light, they phosphoresced. As soon as I saw Biff today, I thought of uranium glazes. I felt I had to share. Long-windedly...

I get bored easily.

[Amanda]

i took several years of ceramics in high school.. i looooved it. we didn't mix our own glazes though. for me it was all about forming the clay on the wheel.. and i think i got pretty good at it, made some nice things.

that is crazy about the uranium... instead of mad hatters there were mad potters!

[Silfedac]

Ah, the Mad Hatter. I fear I shall never again know the wonders of you and your friend the March Hare's tea party.

...What? I lost my copy of "Alice in Wonderland".

[the Scarf]

that book rules...I especially like the Jabberwoky poem...

I used to be way into ceramics...but I devoted my electives to acting, and other things that wouldn't leave my new clothes clay-stained....

I still like it though....I never was much good at the wheel...

[Orangey]

Rosencrantz's comment, regardless of its veracity, reminded me of some-thing I learned today. Apparently, having a few extra pounds of fat is good for your health; one of the functions of adipose (fatty) tissue is the storage of toxins. If you have a very spare frame, the toxins build up in other parts of your body and affect you normally. Additionally, if you lose a lot of fat very quickly, those toxins are released back into your body all at once, and you'll feel ill.

In summary: be chubby; it saves energy, stores toxins, provides warmth, and cushions your organs (I'm looking at you, kidneys...). Avoid obesity: congestive heart failure is rarely fun. Rarely.

[the Scarf]

Your knowledge never fails to amuse me, Orangey...

I love that there is a TMBG reference! What an eclectic variety of tastes Chris has! I really love their Jhon Henry album...but Miscellanies T is good too...Sadly I don't have Apollo 18...a friend of mine does though....maybe I can borrow it from him....

[Orangey]

I like how you managed to make him look so apprehensive even with the same face he always has. Biff's very expressive for some-one with basically one expression.
