* AdaptationExpansion: Several animated shorts add more stuff that are not present in the original strips. For example, [[https://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/1407-horse "Horse"]] just makes a pun with "water" and "Walter", while its [[https://youtu.be/39ch6CRUkW8?si=OcWBalMpD88bLOna animated version]] adds a sequence with the protagonist taking the horse to eat Walter's flowers and [[WhatTheHellHero getting called out by the narrator]].


Added DiffLines:

* PuppeteerParasite: [[https://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/1841-report "Report"]] and [[https://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/2020-approval "Approval"]] feature a boss wearing a hat that is obviously an alien commanding his brain, which he promptly denies, but his employees aren't fooled.

* AmbiguousGender: In general, the characters are featureless stick figures without any TertiarySexualCharacteristics, which means there's no way to tell a character is female unless they're referred to as such. The animated version doesn't help matters either, since [[ActingForTwo Chris Hallbeck does pretty much all the voicework]].
