#344 - Glide
I’ve always wanted to try hang gliding and I’ve always wanted to see an active volcano. I think I’ll refrain from combining the two. I’ll stick to paper airplanes and baking soda/vinegar volcanoes. Anyone here an active hang glider or live near an active volcano?

What’s worse is if you don’t get any updrafts!

Biff seems to have lost his feet!
September 28th, 2007 at 12:09 am
thats what you wear when you hanglide

I live ON an active volcano, does that count? It’s actualy much more safe then people think it is. I actualy flew over the lava flow in a plane the other day.

Wait, I read yesterdays post. Since I can’t edit my last one, I’ll just make some funny comment instead so I don’t look like a complete idiot…
This could be worse. At least he’ll land on that nice scorching rock. He could be over the ocean or something.

At least Biff will be able to enjoy a nice headrush from all the noxious volcanic vapors as he burns then crashes then burns some more…

Michael: Preach on, Bruthaman! My real name is Michael as well, and I LOVE hand gliding. I’m really good at going fast… not so much on the pulling up or staying airborne, though, no matter how madly I flap my arms. I guess you could just call it jumping off roofs, I suppose.
Sorry… saw the typo, and the resulting mental image was too much to resist… hehe

I hope Biff brought his rubber duck
life vest so he doesn’t sink in the lava!

biffs head looks bulbouse

You’re near Chicago, right?
I recommend this place:

I did it once about 2 years ago (tandem), and thought it was great! And, not too far of a drive.

Yes, but when Biff is burned horrbibly by the Lava you can give him a Darth Vader Costume to keep him alive..Rise Lord Biff Riiiiiiissssse!!!!!

I’ve actually thought about that, and didn’t think anyone else would ever think about that lol. It’s funny how Biff is like the voice in my mind saying “its not like anything bad will happen” whenever I think of crazy stuff like that.
One day I’m gonna hang glide over a gaggle of penguins. Do penguins come in gaggles? Or packs? I’m an Albatross! Lick the book.
September 28th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
i have just read all of Biff and my head hurts, good job chris keep em comin
September 28th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
@Steam Punk
I looked it up a Gaggle can apply to any flock of birds that aren’t currently in flight. Should they be in flight though you’d call them a Skein.
You can’t quite see it but a Skein of penguins is thermal gliding behind Biff. Poor things, they were so cute.

@Dan
But penguins are flightless! Right?
September 29th, 2007 at 10:50 am
of…course pengins are flightless…it’s not like they’re actally flying when Yakboy’s back is turned…
(Penguins can slide around on ice like none other, along with awesome glacier dives…)

Best not-limited-to-planes game EVER!

I started reading the biff comic two days ago and I have already gotten to the last posted comic. I got a idea for ur next comic. Make it have a penguin singing the oscarmyer balona song.

What happened to his legs?!
September 30th, 2007 at 5:27 am
I live right near a volcano, but it’s not active. It’s actually really friggin’ cold up there, because it’s kind of a mountain now. For real, it’s FREEZING up there. Once I went up and I was wearing some loose shoes and I came home with my shoes full of ice. It was terrible.
September 30th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
I always wanted to hang glide. It looks so cool. I also wanted to live near a volcano. Volcanoes are cool too. But if I had both in my life, I’d probably hang glide away from the lava coming from the volcano. Now that would be awesome.

goddammit i have a fear of hights as well as a fear of fire. add clowns to the picture and i’ll never be reading this again.

Back in New Zealand where I go for holidays to visit my dad we live about 1hour and a half away from a volcano. One time we were gonna go up the skii lifts to slide down it but it started spitting out clouds and ash so everyone had to leave. Haha it was pretty cool.
October 4th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Biff, when will you learn?
November 22nd, 2007 at 10:22 am
I don’t live near any active volcanos…or any dormant ones any more. I did, however, spend over 30 years of my life thus far within sight of any one of several of the Cascade volcanos. Usually it was Mt. Hood or Mt. Rainier (which I still think is about to lay waste to Tacoma by dropping glaciers pretty soon). From my high school’s art wing, on a clear morning I could see three peaks, Mt. Hood closest and the two north of Mt. St. Helens (I forget which one’s where), one of which I think was Mt. Adams. And the one and only time I’ve ever been to California, it was to a campsite practically on Mt. Shasta. Now I live less than 2 miles from a tectonic range.

@ Michael - Well you obviously don’t because it’s hanG gliding not hanD gliding
