Biffo and his Human Friend Fred are looking for jobs at the circus but all of them have been taken. Hashtag "Relatable", eh, Readers? BIFFO'S HUMAN FRIEND FRED: I'm looking for a job. BIFFO: So am I, Fred, but they're all taken.

Biffo smugly sits across from three Middle-Aged Schoolboys on the train as one of them winces in pain and spews large pink bubbles from his nose and mouth after Biffo punches him in the eye. BIFFO: That'll teach him!

Biffo attempts to peacefully read his book but is driven to the brink of madness by loud noises, such as the Din From Buster's Radio and the assorted tooting and parping sounds from a nearby traffic jam, helpfully indicated for the reader with a "Traffic Jam" label and an arrow pointing to it. BIFFO: Pah! This noise is driving me round the bend!

Biffo attempts to fix the aerial on his roof by sticking his feet in his chimney, but the aerial breaks and his chimney breaks and soon Biffo will break as well as he plummets to his doom. BIFFO: Aargh! The aerial's given way!

Biffo and Buster are sickly and green with nausea as they stagger out of the fairground on the verge of projectile vomiting. BIFFO: Ah, well, that settles it. We're certainly not going on that cheap cruise now, so I suppose it's Southbourne as usual this year!

Biffo dresses in a car park attendant's uniform (sans shoes of course) and issues his nephews parking fines for their pedal cars. This teaches them a valuable life lesson. BIFFO: Parking in a no parking zone-- Ten pence fines all round, I think! NEPHEW: All right-- We can take a hint! We'll go and play outside!

Biffo is distraught at the prescription the doctor has just written for him. It is Very Bad News for Biffo no doubt. Receiving this prescription has ruined Biffo's day. DOCTOR: There, I've written you a prescription. Take it to the chemist.

Biffo demonstrates to a sweaty dog how he slides arse-first down a handrail on a set of stairs. The next person to use those stairs will unwittingly put their hand on the exact spot where Biffo's unmentionable areas touched. How unsanitary! BIFFO: ...See?

Biffo gets absolutely ROASTED by his own pet budgie right in front of Buster. BUDGIE: The reason I won't talk is that my name is Fred, and that bear-faced buffoon keeps calling me "Pretty Joey"! Chirp! BIFFO: Gasp!
