#485 - Chapped
I don’t know exactly why but my skin has been extremely dry this year. I have a tube of moisturizer at my desk that I have to use about 5 times a day on my hands. Some days it is surprisingly painful. I get a chuckle every time I open the tube and read the line that proclaims “Lasts 24 hours!”

Side effects FTL!
I work in pharma these days - synergistic drug-combo side effects can be nasty. I guess Biff found out the hard way…

Where’s our combination of 3 comics?
April 14th, 2008 at 12:59 am
My guess is that this week’s theme will be Biff in different forms than his (ab)normal human-like form. (E.g. Puddle, maybe a cloud, etc.)

lol i wanna know how to do that.

He sort of looks like spilt lotion now…a case of the moisteriz-ee becoming the moisteriz-er! And the circle of life continues.

and thus begins the adventures of liquibiff
no container to small or strainer to thin

I second Micah

Those two must be as bad for the skin as M.E.K. and Anodyne.

O.o Biff should (once he somehow gets back to normal) sell that mixture to a big huge company. they can use it to melt metals with ease! or the military! they can melt those enemies with ease! or someone else! they can melt something else with ease! (I had to do 3, but couldn’t think up a 3rd one). damn I suck at short ‘comments’. I ramble on and on and on *gets hooked around the neck with a cane from off-screen*

Ugh, school is time consuming XD
And of course, this biff comic made my evening =)

@Random person - That would be for the 3 year anniversary in 2009.

I know he’ll be back to his normal, non-aqueous self tomorrow, but even so, this image of Biff gives me the jibblies. I can’t imagine that’s a pleasant state of matter to find yourself in.

If you keep on using (the wrong) lotion, you’ll just enhance the dryness of your skin, or rather stop the natural moisture from coming. Go see a dermatologist.

Moreover, if you’re finding yourself dry - consider your intake of water (versus diuretics, as well). I’m told you need half your bodyweight in ounces EVERY DAY. For me that means a GALLON OF WATER WTF.

Biff, if it lasts 24 hours,
it’s likely expired. No
wonder it doesn’t work.
Use fresh daily…
April 14th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Ha ha ha! I get it! Because it turned his skin into moisture! Classic!
April 14th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
The skin moisturizer I use works really well. I’ve had dry skin for my entire life. The stuff I use - just found it a few years back - lasts for most of the day. I have to apply it about twice a day.

@ Jon M.
if you need to clarify your own laughter with why something is funny, chances are, your the guy who laughs last
and we all know: he who laughs last, doesnt get the joke

What if he was STILL in liquid form for the next comic? The theme could be continuity week. Biff could try to reform himself by pouring himself into a Biff mold and putting himself in the freezer overnight with apples and ham placed where his stomach would be so he wouldn’t miss any meals while the freezing took place. After the freezing was over he’d find he’d stayed frozen for too long and woke up 297.42 years in the future where he’d have to wait for thirteen days until a time machine will be invented to send him back in time. Once back in time he would prevent himself from combining two moisturizers in the first place. Now there would be a parodox, and so the Biff that combined the two moisturizers, melted, refroze, and went back in time would *poof* into nothingness. THE END.

@ smitehammer: Biff has organs?!
April 14th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
and then ,smitehammer, past biff would use the the sports almanac that future biff left to become rich and powerful.
Back to the Future!
(I haven’t actually seen the movies, I just read about it on wikipedia)

Try not washing you hands ten thousand times a day…..
April 14th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Ok, I’ll cut back to 5,000 times a day.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
FYI - Gold Bond Medicated Lotion = HEAAVEN.
I work at an…unnamed coffee place….and with the coffee sucking the moisture out of everything and the amount of times we have to wash our hands I find that Gold Bond is so fantastic. Plus it has soothing cooling properties which ya know help when it burns a little.

I find that most skin moisterizers sting like a bitch if my skin is really dry, and it doesn’t seem to do anything. About two months ago, my skin dried up for some reason, and it stayed that way, except for my lips which I had been using carmex on. I tried carmex on my face and on the worst parts of my hands, and it cleared up within the next couple days!
That carmex is gooood stuff.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Rose is right. Gold Bond medicated lotion rocks. However, it does smell a bit like medicine, which is better than flowers and crap like that. I bet Biff stinks now…
April 14th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
My hands become so dry during the winter! I try to use lotion but it’s as if my hands are sponges, and I would run out of lotion by the end of the day. Haha. I figure that if my hands are going to be dry anyway, I might as well not use lotion at all.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:17 am
Rose: Gold Bond? Try Seacrets from the Dead Sea (Type it up you’ll know Seacrets is not a typo), that stuff’s amazing.
April 15th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Meh, I moved from the Super-Humid forests of East Texas to the HOLY-CRAP-DRY parts of California… the parts you -don’t- see in those commercials beckoning you to the Golden State… and man-oh-man, my skin was all “Auuggh, no moisture in the aiiir?! *dry up now* “.
Funny thing is, I hardly do a thing about it, which drives my mom insane. Besides… moisturizers and I aren’t best friends. Maybe I ought to try Gold Bond finally…
April 15th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Spoot, I might look that up!
DGexe: Oooooooo we must live in the same area. Where there isn’t an ocean for hours on end, and and and and the rain only comes once a year in maybe february if you’re lucky.
It too is horrid on my skin and that is why I use Gold Bond.
April 16th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Rose: If that area you speak of is the Arizona valley, then yes, we do.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:07 am
It puts the lotion on its skin…
Did you know you can get dryness rebound from over-moisturizing? That might be part of the problem with your hands!
