#330 - Sunblock
I went whale watching one day with my mom and sister. It was a very memorable experience on a number of levels. It was very windy out there on the boat which made it easy to forget how hot and sunny it really was that day. After coming back to land the three of us went out for dinner. While waiting for our meals to arrive I reached up to grab my glass of water and felt a tingle in my arm. I felt it with my other hand and could feel the heat emanating from it. This is when it dawned on me that I didn’t put on any sunblock that day. As the meal went on my arms got hotter and hotter and then started to hurt. I spent the rest of the night spooning ice out of my water and rubbing it on my arms. The resulting tan I had on my arms lasted about 8 months.

Ouch…but you do wonder why biff uses tuna flavoured sunblock, lol

SEA: Because he’s Biff. Logic and rationality does not go into his decision making.
The REAL question is why somebody made tuna flavoured sublock in the first place.

Ouch! I get those side stitches sometimes too. Stretching seems to help.
Going on a boat without sunblock is crazy! SPF 40 minimum, or I burn. I prefer coconut to tuna.
*You can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish* (Sorry I had to say that, sorry sorry).

95: True..so true
Sera: Yup you can’t tuna fish
There are probably people who like to smell like tuna where biff lives
(so there will be tuna flavoured sunblock..)
Anyone notice he is not in blinding pain or bleeding ? Lol, that’s biff…

i wonder if that stuff would make good substitute on a sandwich… most of the time ppl just worry about the smell…
September 10th, 2007 at 2:56 am
I have come to the conclusion that Biff is made of cookie dough.
September 10th, 2007 at 3:25 am
what is up with Biff? is he made of cheese? why does he never bleed?
September 10th, 2007 at 4:02 am
The world may never know.
September 10th, 2007 at 4:31 am
RFPT: Now that you mentioned it…he COULD be made of Cheese.
I hate cheese, but I luv Biff

Biff seems to be in pain alot the last few weeks
Am I not human? If you cut me will I not bleed?
Biff: Nope
September 10th, 2007 at 5:48 am
I’m guessing Biff made the sunblock, he is pretty smart.
September 10th, 2007 at 6:25 am
Me and anyone that has ever gotten that stuff in their mouth knows exactly why Biff made/bought it.
I think Biff doesn’t bleed because his cellular structure is more advanced than ours and has evolved beyond the need for blood. Dr. Doom must attain this power… Dr. Doom away!

Biff doesn’t bleed for a simple reason- he rocks too much to bleed.
a bit like Chuck Norris.
September 10th, 2007 at 7:08 am
Or, we could just use the logic that the old cartoonists of Tom and Jerry/Bugs Bunny:
He isn’t ABLE to bleed
September 10th, 2007 at 7:19 am
Classic Biff, I love it!
September 10th, 2007 at 8:25 am
I always used to get sunburned everytime I went fishing when I was a kid. The problem was, if I tried to put on sun block then the fish could smell it on the bait and I’d end up not catching all day long. So after a while I just started wearing a jacket evertime I went out to keep my skin covered. Mind you I no longer got sun burns, but those ninty degree days tended to suck even worse.

Neither cheese nor cookie dough…I think he’s made of tofu!
September 10th, 2007 at 9:33 am
Cyber95: biff made it.
September 10th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
Yo I was just about to say that he was made of tofu!
orr
if you want to be nerdy, maybe his entire dna body structure is contained in his every cell, so if he loses a limb he can just regrow it back with no side effects.
And of course he doesnt bleed cause he doesnt need blood. He’s too cool for that.
September 10th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Hazard, so does that mean eating him is okay by vegan standards?
September 10th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Chuck… are those YOUR bite marks?
September 10th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Poor Biff would also get the same results wearing that same sunscreen while standing downwind from me.
September 10th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
maybe Biff is made from plastic and is interchangeable - if he damages a piece of himself he just replaces it. Or he’s a wizzard.
September 10th, 2007 at 5:52 pm
It seems that every-one has forgotten that Biff DOES in fact bleed. I can remember at least one such instance. Number 25, any-one?
September 10th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
is that the same bottle as the hair growth formula? methinks that it is…
September 10th, 2007 at 6:04 pm
I used to wish I could tan. I’d go out an put up with the sunburn so that I’d hopefully have some kind of colour when it faded.. but the red would fade to pink, and then from pink back to my usual transparent, in a few days.
In the end, I decided to become a goth.
September 10th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
Does he have no blood?
September 10th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
… Biff’s a hammerspace of things. Face it. You can’t kill Biff. He’s some sort of atomically massed being. Blow his head off and it’ll come right back. Someone tell biff that he really should watch what buys, though.
September 11th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
@Seraphine: Actually I believe that after SPF 30, there really isn’t much of a difference…. Wait I just checked, it doesn’t provide any SIGNIFIGANT difference.
September 11th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
there hs been edible sunblock in germany that taste like fish an chips ( im not european) and sunblock that tste like baklava
September 11th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
by the way his body is shaped, he is as flat as a pnkake

This reminds me of an early Garfield comic.
“Although this collar repels fleas, it attracts sharks”
September 17th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
The strange and mysterious Biff… I propose Biff is, in fact, some form of deity, who chooses what and when he is damaged, as a method to experience the, admittedly strange and illogical (then again, when aren’t we?) human condition.
yes… I am deep after work and a Baconator.

He has to be made of marshmallow, though tofu was a good guess.
Great comic! I just found it a few hours ago.
March 1st, 2008 at 8:31 pm
hmm…
looks like clay to me.
possibly ice cream.

Aaron: EVERYBODY’s entire body structure is contained in the DNA of every cell (except red blood cells, I think): we just can’t regenerate.
Now for a SWEET example of regeneration, watch ‘The Christmas Invasion’ episode of Doctor Who.

I only just started reading Biff today, but this one got me laughing the hardest so far. He just has this look on his face of “This isn’t the flavor I ordered”…
“I clearly ordered the mackerel flavor!”

“The REAL question is why somebody made tuna flavoured sublock in the first place.”
There’s no evidence that there’s any other people in the world, so probably Biff made it. :I
