Chapter: Comics
I was really into magic tricks as a kid. There was a spinner rack at the grocery store that had individual tricks for sale. My favorite was a little plastic guillotine. The look on my mom’s face the first time it looked like I was going to cut the tip of my finger off was worth the $2.50.

I like magic tricks. I bought one of those kits which was pretty cool for a while. I only remember the trick to make something disappear beneath a napkin/cloth/etc.
Fun stuff.
Hehe, the bunny is all like “how do you like, punk!!!!!”
man…kinda reminds me of the killer bunny from Monty Python and the holy grail…and here i thought rabbits were cute
Heheh, I can’t stand magicians, but I can’t exactly give a reason why. The best I can come up with is because they’re fairly closely linked to clowns (the whole circus/carnie thing), and who likes clowns? Friggin’ creepy, man.
Biff has some cool socks. They look like wool. Comfy, I bet.
I think this is my favorite comic yet, and I absolutely love the caption. Compared to the ones that are “Biff learns…” or “Biff realizes” this one stands out as completely kickass. Not that the other captions aren’t good, but this one is spectacular. Keep up the good work, sir ^_^
I wonder what other magic tricks Biff could screw up…
There’s gotta be enough for another theme week (like Pizza week not too long ago…)
Although, I think the caption should have been more like:
“Biff’s Magician Tip #42: Make sure you are stronger than the rabbit.”
Oh, Biff…What are we gonna do with you?
Probably stand on the sidelines and laugh…
i swear that happenned to me once……
if you ask me, biff got it good here. at least it was the magician trick that went wrong and not the dancing elephant. man i would hate to be the elephant trainer when the elephant found a better job
sorry – double post (i missed a line)
i would hate to be the elephant trainer when the elephant found a better job after realising he was getting paid peanuts
Nice socks!
My favorite part of this particular comic is the fact that the force of the Rabbit yanked the wand from his hand, which is now resting calmly next to Biff. It’s the little things that make Biff worth reading.
Clashing colors on every outfit would not work for anyone except Biff.
Oh dear. o_o;
At least it isnt my rabbit…the little bastard’s chewed my cellphone charger, powercord for my USB hub, AND the power cord for meh speakers. I’m amazed there hasnt been a “ZZZZZZT-THUMP” and bunny steak for dinner afterward.
I agree with Ben 100%.
I love your comic, but this one made me laugh like a crazy person. I’m getting stared at by coworkers as I write this.
This would be an awesome T-shirt… have you given any thought to making them now that the book is underway? I’d definitely buy a few.
HAhaha! This is one of my favourite ones yet, it’s fantastic! I agree with Gobbledegook, T-shirts would definitely be a good idea; I’d buy a few too, and I’m sure you could count on quite a few more sales.
this is the best one you’ve ever done…ever
Tough bunny love.
Don’t knock it.
God,i love magic.
I’ve had,like,10 or 11 diferent ones
But i always end up losin or breaking pieces.
Bleh.
I agree on the t-shirt thingy.
Should b cool
On a completly unrelated note,today’s the happiest day of my life cuz i just bought pokemon red original version.Now I have
Pokemon:Saphire,emerald,firered,leafgreen,dash and Red
AND PEARL(sorry forgot)
hey everybody,
I am the con man. I heart biff a lot especially how he’s pissed off all the time. anyhoo i have a ton of biffs saved on my computer. I love it.
Long Live Biff,
con man
Looks like he’s got his hammer space portal reversed.
Maybe he is now in an alternate dimension where rabbit magicians pull Biffs out of hats for a trick?

OH MY GOD THERE’S SUPPOSED TO BE A SPACE AFTER EVERY COMMA!
Did you not know that, or are you just lazy?
Oh man. I love magic tricks. Any kind of magic will blow my mind away. I think my favorite magic trick would have to be the levitation one. I always wanted to do that.
At least the rabbit will have a friend…
Haha, I like this one a lot. Kinda has a Far Side esqe(sp) feel to it.
Is the rabbit in that hat the one from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
The clichéd situations in cartoons, where the magician pulls the rabbit out by the ears, is rather cruel.
@PsychoDuck–no, he’s in an alternate dimension where rabbit magicians pull Biffs into hats for a trick. (^-^)
That must be a VERY strong rabbit.
This reminds me of the animated short before WALL-E, with the magician and rabbit duking it out. Just saw it today.
I was hoping it’d be snake toaster. 🙁

A cabbalistic charm, said to be made up from the initials of the Hebrew words Ab (Father), Ben (Son), and Rukach ACadsch (Holy Spirit), and formerly used against agu, flux, toothache, etc. The word was written on parchment as shown [below] and hung from the neck by a linen thread.
Hehe. Oh man. I also run a web comic, and I happen to be an magician. So this strip strikes close to home.
Though I’ve never done the rabbit bit…Yet.
hehe…nice. Way to go Bugs Bunny!
