#809 – Munch
Sugar was really exciting when I was a kid. I always craved it. I would occasionally suck on a sugar cube to tide me over until I got my next candy bar. Halloween was a magical time and I nursed my stash for months, eating a little each day. Suddenly one day I was an adult and it just didn’t matter anymore.
The Book of Biff book that comes after The Book of Biff #3 is a book that you can order now. Also, book.

I think I’d have been more worried about ants, than kids. Wonder how this would be turned in to the insurance company.
Also, if sugar doesn’t matter anymore, you’re not an adult. You’re dead.

The chocolate light fixtures were delicious I hear.

The Night of The Children certainly has an ominous ring to it…

Sometimes, in the local store, or in the supermarket, I’ll look at the varieties of plastic-wrapped, brightly coloured ridiculous somethings that count as candy (lollies in my part of the world). I look at them and I wonder where my enthusiasm for them went.
Then of course, if I ever see Warheads (branded as ‘Short Circuit’s here), I’m going to buy them. Lots of them. Well, a couple dozen.

Man, I wonder how long he got to live in that house before the children discovered it…
July 17th, 2009 at 1:34 am
Mmm…house.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:38 am
The children forgot to eat the marshmallow mattresses, or were they afraid to wake up Biff?
July 17th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Probably shouldn’t say this, but that’s an … interesting … bump in the blanket!
Biff, did you hide a piece of candy, or are you just happy to see us?
July 17th, 2009 at 1:56 am
You know what they say about kids: They’ll eat you out of house and home!
…sorry

Personally, I’d be most worried about rain.
And I guess I haven’t grown up, since about an hour ago I finished all the icing that flowed off a friend’s birthday cake. Mmmm, icing.
July 17th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Well, I’m still allowed to lick the icing bowl…and I sometimes make a little extra just for that. Chocolate is nice, but rock candy is even better. Nom nom nom…

Well at least now he doesn’t have to worry about the vacuuming. I wonder if the toaster is OK?

When I was going through school I never got my classmates obsession with jolly ranchers and other fruit flavored things. My candy of choice was chocalate preferably with a peanut filling.
And it still is to this day.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I love candy…All sorts of candy. Gum with edible ink inside was a favorite. Turned my tongue dark blue. I don’t mind the new candy bars, especially if peanuts are involved. Can’t have almonds (I’m allergic to almonds)

I believe that reese’s peanut butter on toast would be the greatest brekfast ever, But a creme egg omelette is up there
July 17th, 2009 at 11:32 am
I believe the “bump” is Biff’s knee before getting out of the bed to survey the damage. Just a thought.

Just when you thought the chewing noise at night was the zombie chewing on the neighbor and therefore none of your concern when WHAM, some kids eat your house. It’s not right I tell ya.
And I’m still working on that riddle. Book after #3. Can I get a hint?
July 17th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Dun dun dun!
July 17th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I can’t escape seeing the clouds and green as painted on the wall, and the blue as what’s behind Biff’s world after the children ate the walls away from the bottom up.

@linuxxorcist
You’re only halfway there. What’s good is a piece of toast with good peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles or Nutella on it.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Similar to a giant termite problem…Like glass houses, candy houses around children perhaps might require the occupant to wear “jammies.” You know just in case of rocks or home invasion…
July 17th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
You reached a day when you didn’t care about candy anymore?!! What?!!
July 17th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
he should have made his house sugar free
July 17th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
…’The Night of the Children’… it sounds so creepy. Could be a horror movie?
Long-time Biff reader here, just now started commenting.

I would wake up and be like ‘Aw, dang.’
July 18th, 2009 at 1:00 am
@Hijack Welcome to the insanitY
Purposefully spelled with a captial WHY!?
July 18th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Candy became anathema when I Could Buy Enough and did so.
July 18th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Bacon is the candy for adults!
July 18th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Le-Gasp!
I will always, always love candy.
Not so much the fruity stuff, things like chocolate.
And chocolate covered pretzals, yumm..
July 18th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
@Greyryder: Yeah, gonna have to agree with you there. If sugar just doesnt matter anymore, you’re lacking a pulse.
Also, I clicked my bookmark for Biff and walked away while it was loading to get a drink. My flatscreen monitor is horizontally-challanged enough that all i get is the picture without the words beneath, so I came back to see biff naked with water behind him, and I’m standing there with a glass of milk in my hand, staring, with a dog-head tilt going “what the fffffffrig is going on here?”, almost afraid to scroll down and find out what just happened to Biff.
July 18th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
I take that back, not water behind him, the remnants of his wall, it just looked like water from a distance because I didnt get a good look at it from a few steps away cause of all the chomp marks.
July 19th, 2009 at 11:55 am
My cavities prevent me from the deliciousness of candy, but a good alternative is yogurt covered raisins and fruit snacks! Mmm…

This is why you should always have an industrial oven on hand at all times…
Wow, I just discovered this comic today, and read 800+ issues in one sitting. I thought I’d just say that this is hilarious work, and you now have a new fan.
And now, I’m going to the bathroom.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:01 pm
@Moonchylde – Hey that’s awesome. Good luck in the bathroom.
