comment |
The Book of Biff is a one-panel Web Comic written and illustrated by Chris Hallbeck. It details the misadventures of Biff, a human-like being with a bizarre mouth and intense eyebrows. Updated every weekday, the comic is unique in that Biff never speaks, and no explanation is ever given to the origin of Biff, his strange powers and gadgets, or the fact that he's apparently Immortal.See also Maximumble, Hallbeck's other comic. |

Bloodless Carnage: Biff can be dismembered or otherwise hurt in many different ways without a single drop of blood. |

Companion Cube: While Biff never interacts with other people, objects are a different matter. For example, his toaster is on more anti-depressants than he is. |

Mythology Gag |
| | The Book of Biff (Webcomic) / int_26ac510e |
comment |
Mythology Gag: There's no story to speak of in the Book of Biff, but comics sometimes reference each other to form something like Canon. For instance, every comic taking place in Biff's office will show that Biff still owns the Impossibly Complex Chair. Biff also owns a yellow rocket with red fins, that he flew into space multiple times. |

Bottle Episode: The entire series is, in a way, considering that one of the explicit limitations of Biff's universe is that no other humans characters will ever be seen or heard. Most strips take place within Biff's home. |

Sadist Show: And this is why. The only thing more common in the comic than surrealism is Biff getting cartoonishly maimed. Of course, the fact that Biff always reacts to his injuries with apparent indifference allows readers to feel better about laughing at his pain. |

Unexplained Recovery: Many comics show Biff being mutilated in hilarious ways, including having his skull caught on fire, having his head and torso eroded away, wearing Jellyfish Sandals, or getting mangled by crawling inside a box fan. By the next day he is always completely healed, just in time to be mauled in some new way. |

Crossover: One April 1st gag involved Maximumbler, Chris Hallbeck's other webcomic, and Biff switching main characters for a day. They became Biffmumble and The Book of Max, each using certain elements of the other (IE Biff's surreal humor in 3-panel form. Maximumble with a cynical scene complete with caption) |

Department of Redundancy Department: "Biff's two favorite kinds of birds are the crow... and the crow again." Fanon states that the Crow Again is a bird of prey of unknown origin that feeds on chickens and farmers' wives. The point is that he can't find any other birds. |
