#638 – Dragon

When I was a kid there was a local Chicago station that had a show called “Samurai Sunday.” Every week I would get to see a new crazy 1970’s badly dubbed martial arts movie. For a good hour or two after the show was over my brother and I thought we had become instant martial arts experts. This involved lots of running, jumping, kicking, punching and over the top sound effects. Eventually the order would come down from our dad to “Cut it out!” and we would return to our mortal selves for the next seven days.

    How peaceful….. Now he can fold his assailants in half too.

    Or origami-karate. Which has the advantage of being all-Japanese.

    Only just got around to commenting, but this is truly one of the greatest web-comics out there. Keep it up!

    Is it just me, or does biff seem to find ever more ingeneous ways to bend reality?

    @SharkJumper:…woah, that sounds AWESOME!

    @Signum: Reality Bending for Biff is normal and quite awesome.

    Biff looks tough. That’s new. I like it! I always thought his eyebrows made him look like a cricket. Chirs, can you teach me Biff style martial arts?

    I wonder if Biff used a rubber board.

    Is it bad that sometimes after watching martial arts movies I still goof around like that? I’m 21, but it’s too much fun!

    Soooo cool!!!

    That’s what you get when you harvest wood from a rubber plant.

    Biff-Fu: Fold boards… And break the linen! Truly the martial-arts for the 21st century master.

    After watching martial arts films, one is inevitably drawn to believe in one’s immortality.

    One is not, in fact, immortal.

    CONCLUSION: Martial arts movies are dangerous to your health.

    Yoga + Karate + Biff = “I’ve got a bad feeling about this”

    I shouldn`t drink soda while reading these things….

    My brother and I were banned from watching the Karate Kid movies because we would pretend to be karate masters afterwards

    Well maybe Biff can go back and use his new found skills to tie some pretzel knots again!

    Aww … I wish I had Samurai Sundays …

    I also wish passing a karate grading were so easy — the real thing took 7 years to get to, and was over 6 hours long!

    What I really like is that his belt is actually tied correctly w00t for attention to details!

    The chaos that Biff could cause with a black belt in Yoga-Karate…

    I once took a Taekwon do class at the YMCA. It was fun, but being so out-of-shape, I was exhausted by the end of the session. I kinda regret not finishing the course, but whatever.

    Biff is hardcore.
