%%* BaldOfAwesome: Biff has no hair.

* ArtEvolution: Just compare [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2006/01/02/4/ some]] of the [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2006/01/04/6/ older]] [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2006/01/06/fan/ strips]] to [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2010/09/22/1117-crumbled/ some]] of the [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2010/09/21/1116-fall/ newer.]]

* BaldOfAwesome: Biff has no hair.

* BodyHorror: Lots.

* BunglingInventor: Biff, frequently.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2010/02/05/954-radiant/ Averted in this strip]], where he melts into a puddle next to lava, as to be an [[InvertedTrope inversion]]; reader comments joke that Biff appears to have been previously made of cheese or vanilla ice cream. (See: UnexplainedRecovery below)
* CompanionCube: While Biff never interacts with other people objects are a different matter. For example, his toaster is on more anti-depressants than he is.

* [[InvisibleParents Invisible Cast]]: Anyone who Biff interacts with is either off-screen or has left prior to the events in the panel.

* MythologyGag: 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.

* TheVoiceless

* ScheduleSlip: For eight years straight (2006 to 2013), the comic ran a consistent Monday-Friday schedule without fail. In 2014, only 12 comics were released, and there has yet to be a new comic since then.

''[[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/ The Book of Biff]]'' is a one-panel WebComic written and illustrated by Chris Hallbeck. It details the mis-adventures 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.

Biff here is probably unrelated to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture.''

* [[InvisibleParents Invisible Cast]]: Anyone who Biff interacts with is either off screen, or has left prior to the events in the panel.
* MundaneFantastic: There's a story arc wherein Biff becomes roommates with a dragon, and one strip where he finds an app for making a DealWithTheDevil on the iStore (no word on if he downloaded it or not).

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted [[http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2010/02/05/954-radiant/ recently]], where he melts into a puddle next to lava, as to be an [[InvertedTrope inversion]]; reader comments joke that Biff appears to have been previously made of cheese or vanilla ice cream.

** Of course, the fact that Biff always reacts to his injuries with apparent indifference allows readers to feel better about laughing at his pain.
