#443 - Adhesion
I had a lot of fun with glue back in grade school. I liked to spread it thin on my hand or arm and then peel it off later… “Look I’m peeling my skin off!” I also liked to make different colored glues. We would pull the felt out of a felt tip marker and put it down into the center of the bottle. A few days later… blue glue!
Thanks for all the pre-orders that have come in so far! If you are interested in getting some fancy Biff art to hang on your wall be sure to place your order soon. Once we have enough orders to pay for the print run of Book #2 those options will be closed.

Biff is quite the connoisseur! A 1942 Elmer’s Original with a dash of malt powder is surely the epitome of class!

We used to pour glue into the indent in our pencil cases, take the back out of the felt market, pour water into the felt and blow on it. then it would spray super cool colours into the glue and in about a day, Voila! A fancy pants bookmark!
We got into a LOT of trouble for wrecking felts that way

i too used to do the glue thing, i think at one point i lost my friends because they thought i had a weird skin disease…….

Glue wasn’t really my thing. And I could never understand the paste-eaters, either.

sometimes it seems that Biff is just Ethan with long eyebrows…
February 14th, 2008 at 6:44 am
…I have nothing to say about this one……
February 14th, 2008 at 8:43 am
I wonder how Biff discovered the taste of glue…On second thought, I don’t think I want to know.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:57 am
I don’t think we’ve ever seen Biff’s mouth like that!
February 14th, 2008 at 10:17 am
It says “433″ not “443″

@Address - Fixed!

Wow… 0_o Biff just continues to amaze me again and again…
I seriously think I’ll try that…just to see.

I’ve tasted glue, but it isn’t my favorite industrial food.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Favorite Industrial Food would be a good name for a band.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
@ ZenKai:
With band member names like Glue, Surplus Meat Product and Government Approved Genetically-Altered Vegetables.

Dang, the duck spoke twice in one day; time to adjust my meds. O_o
I never messed with glue in school, but I’ve seen some pretty good glue stories happen. This girl who sat across the room from me my whole school life decided one day in fourth grade that she would like to glue her fingers together to avoid classwork.
Well, she tried, and tried, and tried to glue her fingers together with some strange glue that would not stick to her fingers no matter what. She got out of class because of it, though - the glue ran down her arm in such quanitity that it stuck to her desk and her shirt had to be cut off at the sleeve to get her out of her chair.

Since nobody’s mentioned it, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL!

My my, roy_vf1s. That sounds like it was quite the sticky situation
The Duck Has Now Spoken THREE Times. Remind roy_vf1s To Get His Prescription Increased.

Yes, I do believe we have a theme week!

What exactly is malt powder? Not familiar with it.
February 14th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
it’s gooood
thats all you need to know Jackson
February 14th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Are you just that young, Jackson? Malt powder is just that - powder made from malted barley (the same stuff that’s the base for beer). It’s the stuff you add to milk to make the stuff in the center of malted milk balls, or more famously to ice cream shakes to make malts. It adds a very distinctive tastes. Google for more info.
That duck is talking again? I must’ve eaten a strange pizza and fallen asleep watching Howard the Duck again.

Whoa, without Biff’s over hanging large squiggly line for a mouth he looks a lot younger. =]
February 14th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Just don’t try putting Gorilla Glue on your hand. You will rip the skin off your hand before you get that stuff off.
February 14th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
I used to do the exact same thing Chris….EXACT…>.>….Creepy.

Not knowing malt powder has nothing to do with being young - I’ve only just turned seventeen and was madly in love with the tin of malt powder in our pantry until we ran out (I mourn for thee, malt powder). Malt flavour is only the tastiest ever invented. I would eat malt-anything, even glue. Biff has the right idea. I used to put it on ice cream instead of milo (… is it weird to put milo on ice cream? I don’t know…) and also to make malt flavoured milk (you can buy vanilla malt flavoured milk, and it is tasty and my favourite).
… I think I have a malt problem. *hangs head in shame*

Hi Caitlin.
And I have a problem.)

I figured it had something to do with malt balls and milkshake-style malts. I just wasn’t sure exactly what. I guess it wouldn’t have been too hard to figure out.
February 15th, 2008 at 11:49 am
mmm, glue, my friend brout crazy glue to school and stuck his hanfd to his pencil, then he got freaked out and yanked it off, then his hand started to bleed, what a fun last day of school that was
February 17th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
LOL kiwi! I wish that could happen to a kid named Chase Blackshear. He’s the class turd.

what about play-doh
April 18th, 2008 at 2:04 am
I was confused until I saw you mention glue below the comic. I thought it was a milk bottle. A label would have been good.
May 13th, 2008 at 2:00 am
I used to pull it off my skin too =3
