who whould want boots that increese gravtiy
esp. to the exact gravity of saturn
biff truly is not a smart shoper
i’m almost certant he has some form of ron-co perfered shopper account
DMC_Run, that is incorrect. Acceleration due to gravity is determined by the mass of the object in question and how far away it is. Density does not really matter.
Also, Jupiter, being a gas giant as well, probably has a density similar to Saturn’s anyway.
Hey, here’s a thought: what if Biff’s shoes broke through both the ceiling and the floor at the same time? Would he float in midair, or would it be more of a CRUNCH “Ow.” situation?
A thought occurs (supported by the eyebrows): Biff isn’t a tragically impulsive shopper, but rather a completely insane inventor like Lao Kang the Mad.
Seriously, I think Biff’s kids are lucky not ever being born. What kindof father would Biff be? Though I guess they would be as immortal as Biff himself, thus being a menace on the world…
Diamonds aren’t that dense, they’re just hard… In fact, the cubic structure makes them less dense than graphite, I think. Diamond-based pencils would ruin a lot of paper, though, unless you used a lot of wax… Hey, that’d be cool.

Not entirely true. Jupiter’s mass is around 350 times Earth’s. Its gravity is around 2.5 or 3 times Earth’s. Low density is another way of saying most of the object’s mass is farther away.
You couldn’t kick anybody. The Saturn Gravity boots cause your feet to be immovable from the ground, and if you kicked with the anti gravity boots on, you would just go into a constantly repeating flip until you turned them off.
Saturn’s gravity is only 1.064021315*Earth’s gravity… They wouldn’t have much effect, these boots.
Also, gravity is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of distance… Density is more appropriate than mass, but neither are particularly grand.
I rescind my original statement. Upon reviewing my facts, Density is the main part of gravity. E.g., A black hole? Super dense, super massive, low volume? High density=high gravity.
The gravity relative to the Earth of Saturn is .916, so the saturn-gravity boots would actually make him weigh less, but not as much less as the anti-gravity boots would, but DMC_Run was right, density is relevant to gravity (and it’s low density is only because the atmosphere is 97% Hydrogen and 3% Helium, and so much of Saturn is atmosphere that even the extraordinarily dense core only brings the average density to .678g/cc), Saturn is about 95 earth masses, and with the large radius, the d^2 murders G. The anti-gravity boots wouldn’t be negative gravity (as shown in pic) but would most likely put Biff in a state of micro-gravity, or approximately 0Gs; similar to Joanassie’s point.

that looks very painful.

Ouch
January 12th, 2007 at 2:47 am
No kids in Biffs future…ever…
January 13th, 2007 at 6:27 pm
probably for the best if Biff doesn’t have kids.
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:12 am
Well, at least that mistake did something good… The world is gonna be safe of little Biffs…
January 22nd, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Hahaha!
January 23rd, 2007 at 11:12 am
That would hurt… ALOT.
January 30th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
I think you meant “Jupiter”… Saturn’s density (& thus, it’s gravity) is so low that if there was a large-enough ocean, it could float on water.
January 30th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
…& HOW could they EVER be next to each other???!? one pair would always be on the ceiling, the other pressing divots into the carpet!
January 30th, 2007 at 11:01 pm
Easy: On/Off Switch

Either way, that just looks so.. very.. painful.

February 7th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Mike, I’d say that Biff would be the first human to experiment binary fission.
February 13th, 2007 at 9:00 am
I think that particular position has won Biff a Darwin Award, for ‘removing himself from the gene pool’.
February 13th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
lets hope so ;P

He’s had every part of his body mutilated.. I don’t think a little overextension is gonna phase him.
March 17th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
Calthin, Biff can still have kids?
March 22nd, 2007 at 9:48 pm
It’s yoga, Biff-style!
April 9th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Ow… How come his pants didn’t rip?
April 9th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
Perhaps Biff’s children, assuming their conception is still possible, would be better off having a parental figure who teaches from experience.
April 13th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Biff himself doesn’t seem to learn much.
April 14th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Jupiter, for one, has a gravity of over 2.5 times Earth’s, if I recall correctly.
It has been theorized that it has a super-dense solid core, perhaps diamond. :O

Given the situation, Lucy UNDERGROUND with Diamonds.
April 29th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Time to split the twins. >:D
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Biff doesn’t really look that uncomfortable. Instead, he looks more like he has an “oh shnitzel, how am i going to get out of this one” expression.
May 24th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
What if you put the uber-grav boots on OVER the anti-grav ones? Would that make you have normal gravity, make you float, or turn you into a duck?
May 30th, 2007 at 3:02 pm
If you punched him in the leg, he would make a ‘twaaangg’ noise.
June 6th, 2007 at 11:47 am
My pants rip whenever I do that
June 16th, 2007 at 12:57 am
Ya’know there’s a difference between anti-grav and reverse-grav, right?
June 16th, 2007 at 1:44 am
At least he doesn’t have sideways gravity boots! -Cricket, cricket- I can hear you breathing out there.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:39 pm
This is, by far, the most clever comic you have posted. Well done, sir
July 8th, 2007 at 5:00 am
I’m just giggling at his pose.
August 15th, 2007 at 11:51 am
O_O
I so want Biff’s boots!
September 2nd, 2007 at 9:30 am
To reply to the delicious mint sharpie, Yes he would be turned into a duck
November 7th, 2007 at 5:26 am
reverse the boots and they would probably spin around each other, making him into a corkscrew
December 23rd, 2007 at 6:26 pm
…thus undoing the ’shrunk pants’ problem.
January 18th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Biff does too seem to learn from experiance… have you seen him do the same thing twice? Its forethought and planning that he lacks.
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Biff doesn’t need to have kids. He is immortal, and thus, I think, he’ll never get old, either.
There’s nothing wrong with my logic ( I know I spelled that wrong), you’re only seeing things.

Terrorbob, I was looking for that exact reply if I would of posted it
March 19th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
In response as to why he needs gravity boots, It’s for when ne doesn’t pay his gravity bills.
Now which ones did he mean to put on?
May 4th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Woahohoh, I’d never buy that ^ |^

Ooowwww. That must HURT.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:40 am
I wonder what it would be like kicking someone with one of thosse boots…
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:43 pm
You couldn’t kick anybody. The Saturn Gravity boots cause your feet to be immovable from the ground, and if you kicked with the anti gravity boots on, you would just go into a constantly repeating flip until you turned them off.
Also, Gravity is a product of Mass, not Density.

October 16th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I have a feeling that biff bought the saturn ones thinking they were like the iron boots from zelda

February 12th, 2009 at 7:08 am
I know that would hurt me, ooooooooh….
Maybe next time, Biff, you should put your saturn boots in the closet.
February 14th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Will anyone reply to my old comment as MetMan that states that anti-grav is not reverse-grav necessarily?
February 27th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
What would happen if he put them on the wrong feet? A tear in the space-time continuum? a paradox of some sort? Hm…
June 13th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
biff needs to learn to not buy stuff from every sales person he meets

Still a great comic
