#584 - Cavanaugh
Today is my dear friend Ali’s birthday and today’s comic is my gift to her. She is one of Biff’s earliest fans. Since we went to art school together she is one of only a few people that received a complete set of the original Biff mini-comics I made back then. Wish Ali a happy birthday and then go to her website to see her amazing and inspirational paintings (and you may even get a little extra enjoyment out of today’s comic.)

That website is pretty neat! Happy birthday Ali!
The comic is a good reference: I didn’t really understand it until I went to the site, though.

Happy birthday Ali from a random stranger =p
No, hypnotism on oneself is not good. >=(

YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!
(Oh god I couldn’t resist)

Looks like Biff is being attacked by two Coral Snake hand puppets.

What fun it is to share a birthday. Happy Birthday Ali!

For some reason this comic terrifies me

Happy birthday Ali!

Heheheheee… I like this one

@Cris,
Coral snakes are red yellow and black.
Just thought I might point that out.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of Penny Arcade by this comic.
Biff, WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS. I AM ASKING YOU A SERIOUS QUESTION ABOUT THE LOCATION AND CURRENT STATUS OF YOUR PANTS.

[…] good friend and comic artist Chris Hallbeck draws daily comics at The Book of Biff dot com. This was his birthday gift to me today. I love it! Thank you, […]

A tribute to a woman of magical… ? (loss for a word)
It looks like a fine birthday gift to me.
@ Kaikuro: Maybe they cross-bred with peppermint snakes.

@Kaikuro,
Now, can you tell the difference between a Coral Snake and a Milk Snake?
Coral Snakes have the pattern Red, Yellow, Black, Yellow, Red.
While Milk snakes have the pattern Red, Black, Yellow, Black, Red.
September 5th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Oh, and milk snakes are harmless.

@ Andore Mordre
red next to black: a friend of jack
red next to yellow: killed the poor fellow
Does hypnotism wear off or will Biff still be a ‘graceful melody’ next week?

Dear Chris,
Thank you for reminding me of a time and a place and a girl who one day, inspired by words carved in stone on the side of the Auditorium Building, added her own to a well scribbled-up fire exit door.
Like your variation on a theme, her list ended with a word that topped them all: “Lincoln, Shakespeare, Mozart… LIFE!”
And thank you for hosting my message in a bottle.
I think Jim Croce will be my soundtrack for today.

@Andre
I knew someone would say that XD
milk snakes= cute
September 5th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
happy birthday, Ali.

@Kaikuro and Hogan:
Heh, I work at a pet store, and we sell the occasional milk snake, so we have to explain that to almost everyone who looks into that corner of the snake room. (Rhyme included) Not only are they harmless, but they’re friendly, too!
September 5th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Kaikuro: “milk snakes= cute”
Peaceful, enlightened, genetically-enhanced baby cobras = even cuter
September 5th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I’m surprised he didn’t have them on his eyebrows
September 5th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Im surprised hes not getting strangled by them yet.
