Biff (cartoon)

Biff is a British cartoon strip, created since the mid 1970s by Chris Garratt and Mick Kidd. The first Biff collection was published in 1982[1] The strip was first published in the newspaper The Guardian in 1985. Biff Weekend ran there weekly for 20 years. The comic originated in a series of single-panel postcards before evolving into multi-panel comic strips.[2] It has also been published in the magazine Viz, fRoots and since 2001 in the magazine of the Rough Guides.[3]

The cartoons are notable for their absurd, ironic, satirical and metafictional edge.[4]
