#402 - Blank
I think the one lost object that haunts me the most is my Spider-Man camera. When I was a kid I went on a camping trip with my friend Chris and his family. I took my new camera with me loaded with a fresh roll of film. I can still picture in my head some of the photos I took. The river, rock formations, fishing, the van covered in bugs. On the last day there Chris and I went to hang out on the swing set while his parents finished packing up. We got an urgent call “Hey, were leaving!” and ran back to the campsite so that we wouldn’t get left behind. It wasn’t until I got home and searched through my suitcase that I realized I had left the camera in the grass next to the swings. I always wondered if the person that found it developed the film.

Heh, yeah. I remember losing a lot of things when I went to my friends houses as a child. D:

Heh!
I’m surprised he didn’t forget his head…
I do that sometimes. Forget my head, I mean. Except that it’s bolted on with good quaility bolts. So maybe I don’t forget my head - I forget that I can’t forget it.
Did that make any sense at all? I’ve got a sinus infection, and *wish* I could forget my head for a day or two…

Chris, eh? I thought you were Chris.
I don’t really forget anything, but walking down the street to the bus stop, I always wonder if I have. It bothers always me.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:21 am
Maybe his friend was named Chris as well?

This one was really a sleeper. It didn’t strike me as funny until fully thirty secinds after I read it.
Also, not even a mention of the GingerDead cameo? Shame…

Particularly highlarious today chris.
December 19th, 2007 at 2:02 am
The worst thing I have lost was my social security card… yeah…
I adore this comic. Always provides much needed cheer for my day.

incidentally, i tend to forget things alot. mainly my hat or sunglasses, but especially erasers. i just cant hold onto an eraser. even when i’m just sitting in one spot i cant seem to hold onto one, it will always just disappear.

I always forget my hair ties.
December 19th, 2007 at 6:37 am
yes, chris has a friend called chris. he talks about him a lot because friend chris can be a bit of an inspiration.

I don’t often forget things, but I’m constantly worrying that I have. I’m even a little nervous going into my classes at college, because I’m afraid I might be confused as to what day it is.

I had a look at GingerDead before I came over to have a look at Biff today and I have to say, you’re the man, Chris.
The whole thing warmed my heart (and Lenoir is so sweet, isn’t she?). I guess Biff knows what it’s like now to be as tall as I am….

Everything that we lose in life might
be waiting for us when we die.
December 19th, 2007 at 8:38 am
is this the same Chris in whose root beer you put jalapeno juice?
December 19th, 2007 at 8:45 am
When I first saw the comic without reading the caption this morning, I thought maybe the horizontal in Biff’s world had gone wonky. Like on those old TV sets.
December 19th, 2007 at 8:56 am
Man, does he have any hover pants for compensation?

My friend was creating a trading card game, and one of the cards was one that I suggested. It was called “Other Pants”. It allowed you to retreive any card that you “lost”.

@Plankster
Me too. I’m always scared that I’ve gotten the day wrong, and that I’ll end up in the wrong class and be too confused to leave.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:51 am
Chris is too common of a name. I say you change it. How about… Cecil!
Anyways, I rarely forget objects. I often lose my train of thought, but rarely do I lose anything tangible.
The Duck Has Spoken.

I have lost my backpack many times, but thankfully my friends pick it up and drive it to me over and over.
What really sucks is leaving your wallet in your other pants, then when you go out and want to buy something.. well..
December 19th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Isnt Biff scared of change? otherwise, LOL
December 19th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Genius
December 19th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
I always keep losing the TV remote. It pops back up eventually. It’s always out in the open when I find it.
December 19th, 2007 at 5:35 pm
The Chris on whose notebook Biff was first drawn for whose amusement… The Chris that worked in the ice-cream store with Chris, the Chris that Chris went camping with. This other Chris is becoming something of a running character. He is not an imaginary friend, is he?
Anyway, why is this comic named “Blank”?
December 19th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Because Biff’s mind drew a blank?
I always forget my phone in other pants. And then I think I lost it and have to phone it and it’s always in a pocket.
I also have trouble remembering people’s names at work. A lot of them rhyme too, which should make it easier, but there are only a select few I remember. Everyone else, I usually just ask someone else what their name is.
Lastly, I always forget to take my clothes out of the dryer. And then by the time I need them, I just grab the clothes I’m looking for, because I’m in a hurry and leave the rest. By the end of the week, the dryer is empty, but it’s a hassle for anyone else who wants to wash clothes.

….how did he even GET to the register?
December 20th, 2007 at 5:16 am
the way all poor legless people move - he crawled. this raises the question - how did he not see he forgot his legs?
December 20th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
Hey, I remember that camera.
A lot of your pictures were out of focus.
December 20th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
Ahhh, yes… lost objects.
When I was 7 my dad bought me one of those air-powered toy planes. We went to the park to fly it. After pumping it full of air my dad showed me how to make the rotor spin and then throw it. He then demonstrated.
It flew, and flew, and flew, and kept flying in a straight line. It went up and over the trees, over the woods, and out of sight never to be seen again.
He then immediately went out and bought another one for me, but he lost it in a similar way.
Air-hog #3 is around here… somewhere…

I’d say the thing I regret losing most would be the Shining Ghastly I accidently killed in Pokemon. Ghastly and its evolutions are some of my favorites so that would have been cool.
I guess that isn’t a physical object though. The physical things I regret ‘losing’ were not lost but stolen. Lost a few choice super nintendo games, gameboy games, a 64 game, and a GameCube game that way.

Am I the only one who gets to lose things in his current pants?
