#219 – Brick
I love cheese. I don’t really eat it that often, because I get hooked on it when I do. When I was a kid the only cheese I ate was american cheese slices, velveeta and cheeze whiz… and none of that is really cheese. My dad really liked swiss and I thought he was nuts. “How can you eat that horrible stuff?” He would just laugh. Now that’s my favorite sandwich cheese. It seems like as I get older I like stronger and sharper cheeses.

Yay first comment! Cheese is tasty, but not a good building tool, silly Biff.
April 6th, 2007 at 12:43 am
Haha, I was actually thinking this afternoon about what cheeses people liked, now I know that Biff likes Cheddar.
My favorite cheese is Smoked Gudda. Yum =^_^=

Well I picked up the link for this ar SMBC and I have to say I like it a lot-just spent an hour or so reading through the whole archive, so now I feel really spiffy.
I love Cheese. I wouldn’t be able to build anything out of cheese because I would probably eat it before I can use it. Have you ever cut pictures out of slices of cheese using a toothpick?

I too love cheese, though probbably not enough to try and build with it. However, I have been known to make cheese whis and wheat thin towers to munch on. that is just a good combo.

When I was scrolling down and noticed the melty part of the fireplace, I thought, “I hope that wasn’t a solid gold fireplace.” And that hope was fulfilled upon the reading of the truth of the cheese of Biff.
April 6th, 2007 at 1:03 am
Swiss is my favorite Cheese as well, though I actually eat it outside of sandwiches mostly.
Anyway, I just discovered this comic today, and have finished reading the archives. Great stuff. Randomness for the win.

Hey Chris, just arrived from Marilith if I’m not wrong. Your banners getting everywhere!
Love the comic, its just so… connectable to daily life.
You merit a review!
Looking forward for more!

The fact that you like stronger and sharper cheeses is actually normal. As people get older they sense of taste starts to fade, so they usually compensate by drinking and eating foods with stronger tastes. Seriously go talk to an elderly person sometime they almost always drink black coffee because is one of the few things they can still taste.
Just thought I’d lay a little science on you.

Cheese sandwiches are the staff of life. Sharp Cheddar, of course!
April 6th, 2007 at 6:24 am
Mmm…SMOKED cheddar!
April 6th, 2007 at 6:28 am
i love cheese pepper jack,habenero jack(which i dont recomend in big portions),and every normal cheese,has anyone heard the band modest mouse yet if u go to yahoo music,i strongly suggest dash board
April 6th, 2007 at 6:36 am
wait could he have possibly tortilla chips for the inside of the fireplace,that way he could have nachos
April 6th, 2007 at 8:05 am
Didn’t he go through this before, only with a gingerbread house? (comic #153)
April 6th, 2007 at 8:06 am
Cheese rocks the toasts and the shiz nee. So does Biff!
April 6th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Am I really the only one that think his fireplace looks like Abraham Lincoln?
April 6th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Well.. at least Biff wont have to buy a fondue set
April 6th, 2007 at 9:51 am

i could 1/4 of a cheesewheel if i wanted ;D

Me too!
And as for the cheese. You haven’t lived until you’ve smelled the stink of overnuked mozzarella. (Bad bad memories of a college roommate who liked her cheese extra melty.)
April 6th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Well, at least Biff didn’t try installing a sprinkler system in there this time (comic #27)… Though… It may have saved the cheese… It seems he just doesn’t have very good luck with fireplaces.
April 6th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Heh. I thought he was making a solid gold fireplace for a second. I’m not quite sure if I should be relieved that he was actually using cheese, or to roll my eyes.
April 6th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
We have that problem all the time here in Wisconsin.
April 6th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
Cheese Whiz is one chemical away from being glue, and Kraft Singles Slices are one chemical away from being a plastic.
And havarti is good to melt on toasted chicken sandwiches.
April 6th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Oh God, now I want a fireplace made of cheddar.
My landlords would have none of it, but a man can dream…a man can dream.
April 6th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
here you cant leave cheese out in the sun for to long
April 6th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
I cast my vote for “Hickory-Smoked Extra-Sharp Cheddar”!

(…pssst, Biff! There are EASIER ways to smoke it yourself – I promise!)
April 6th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
My first post. Chris, I just want to say your comics are great. Good for an uplifting laugh, especially considering people are prone to laughing at an other person’s misfortunes. Anyway, this comic reminds me of a story (must have read it in Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader), where an artist wanted to spray a house inside and out with that cheese in a can. The town council was all for hiring this guy to do it, but residents near the picked house said “No way!” – they didn’t want vermin coming to eat the yummy cheese and the stink that would come from all of that cheese going bad…whew!
April 6th, 2007 at 4:56 pm
……I want that fondue…. D:
April 6th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
remids me of spy hard….
- I’m, going to shoot you soo you look like a zwizz cheese!
-well, thats no gudda
(/_^)
April 6th, 2007 at 6:45 pm
Did he use cheese logs in that fireplace?
April 6th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
I love how the cheeseplace looks a sad old man. XD
April 6th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Hey C.B. thanks for stopping by
April 6th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
I have to agree with KL Sanches it does look like an old man.
April 8th, 2007 at 5:43 am
personally i like finding that little shop that only sells european meats and cheeses, when im there i tend to buy a small supply of scandinavian cheddar and swiss allong with some ham or other cured meat and maby salt fish but at arround 25$ for the real saltfish from finland it isent a habbit i may readily support.. also would anyone know of a small shop such as this in northern vancouver island?
April 8th, 2007 at 10:05 am
Hmm, would the top of the chimney also be made of cheddar?
April 8th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
Dakras>Hmm, would the top of the chimney also be made of cheddar?
no it would be brick,because biff doesnt want his fire place to be eaten by ants or birds
April 9th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
Muenster!!!!!!!!
April 10th, 2007 at 11:09 am
Nachos would be an excellent idea at that point..
April 11th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
Nacho’s are good.
April 14th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
Damn it, boy! Stop building things out of food products.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
I actually feel kind of sorry for Biff in this one. It’s as if in that single block of cheese he sees the failures of all his ideas and finally comprehends how incapable he is of thinking them through, dooming him for the rest of his existence.
Or it could just be my imagination.
April 16th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
mmm… cheese…
You should try aged white cheddar – very strong! So good to have after a nice meal, maybe with a glass of wine.
I happen to like feta cheese best, actually… and havarti, goudda, butter cheese… (I went to Germany last year, and that’s all we ever had for breakfast – bread and cheese… SO good!)
April 29th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
what are you talking about, cheese is a great building material!
May 14th, 2007 at 10:52 am
ohh, man, make some shells with some tomato sauce and some garlic, add salt, and sprinkle that yellow cheese, i forgot its name, but grate and add it after its in yer bowl, and its so freaking delicious. i could go into greater detail, but i forgot it. maby ill make some for lunch, because its so good
May 25th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
The ex-fireplace looks like it’s about to attack him…
June 4th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
Cheddar’s fat content makes it perfect for melting, which is another reason not to build houses and objects for houses out of it.
June 26th, 2007 at 11:49 am
*shivers* orange cheese. cheese is not naturally orange.
This reminds me of when I drove through the midwest. All they had was American Cheese and White Bread. And poor me, the easterner, used to a local store that stocks natural-organic-gourmet stuff in roughly equal porportion to the “regular” food. I was terrified. No portugese bread, no Vermont extra super sharp cheddar, no proper bagels… I nearly starved till we got to Colorado…
-end rant.
June 27th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
I thought it was gold at first until I read it, then I lawled very loudly.
July 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pm
Hard, smelly cheese walls would be good intruder-deterrants…
July 25th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
that seems like something Jim, from my comics would do. he has an IQ of -15 and loves cheese. Reppa, who I force to hang out with him, is a total genius, and once, she invented a stupid proof cheese machine to keep him out of her lab, but he broke it by farting on it. (it was inspired by a dream my brother had) this was made on paper before i started to read your comics.
August 17th, 2007 at 11:34 am
As i’ve said in a previous comment, I eat cheez wiz on graham crackers. I ate a 1lbs block of cheese once. I then proceeded to lay around and do nothng for a while, because my stomach hurt.
August 22nd, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Mmm….. cheddar…. I love cheese. A nice, sharp cheddar is really good, but I love pastrami and swiss cheese on a strong whole wheat or rye bread. THere’s just so much flavor! I also once had some really good goat cheese at some fancy restaurant (the kind where the steaks cost $100 a piece). It was my first and probably last $100 steak, but boy was it good. This is coming from a girl who doesn’t really care for steak, either.
September 12th, 2007 at 12:05 am
Horah! A fireplace made out of cheddar xD.
March 1st, 2008 at 7:27 pm
ooo…
who else is craving nachos?
March 15th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Lemonmango, you can make plastic and glue from milk–so learning that two processed cheese food products are only “one chemical away” doesn’t really surprise me. (I think you need to add vinegar to get plastic, but the milk-base is the reason Elmer’s Glue has a cow head for a logo.)
June 17th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
I used to like cheese; but then this one day I got really sick (nothing to do with cheese), and ever after that I haven’t been able to stand the taste and texture of cheese.
August 1st, 2008 at 12:30 pm
is it just me or does that melting cheese look like Abe Lincoln
February 9th, 2009 at 6:45 am
You’re on to something there revorger
May 23rd, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I LOVE sharp-smoky-chedder… whenever my dad has a good brick of cheese he tends to divy it up late at night into tiny slices. the next day while he’s at work I tend to take a big chunk out of it… I love cheese….
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Cheddar+fire=Win
If he used hickory it’s Win^2
September 1st, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Wow…Biff just needs some pasta shells and he has enough Velveeta to last him a month!
December 6th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Yeah when I was in Odyssey of the mind way back when in middle school our group always had some sort of cheese during the meeting so we called ourselves the Chubby Cheddars and even had t shirts made with the name on it. It was amazing
March 25th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Biff has an issue with cheese, doesn’t he?
July 5th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
My favorite cheese would have to be Extra Sharp Tillamook Cheddar Cheese. MMMMMMM
