It's a Dog's Life

Berkeley, CA--Well, Biff would certainly say that it is, and he should
know, for he's the main character in A Day with Biff, a one-of-a-kind
book/disk combo about a dog named Biff with a penchant for cliches. This
humorous story book is chock full of delightful four-color illustrations
and many interactive activities (get Biff through the maze of traffic to
work, put clothes on Biff the paper doll, help Biff find the hidden
treasure). Not just art for art's sake, A Day with Biff instructs the
reader by example on the strategies of effectively using clip art such as
placement and color selection. This dogumentary includes a Macintosh disk
that allows readers to place in their own documents the 70 images
contained in the book (they're all brand new and have never before been
sold as electronic art).

Readers get to follow Biff's day, through the dog-eat-dog world of humans
while struggling to maintain his canine attributes. See Biff run (to
work). See Biff use the copier machine. See Biff sniff through the
junkyard. See Biff fall in love. See Biff deal with a demanding boss. See
Biff go to a ballgame. It's all there in this doggone great book.

The author is Art Parts (a company consisting of Ron, a disgruntled
ex-graphic designer, and Joe, a disgruntled ex-illustrator), which creates
and sells electronic art for the computer in both Mac and PC formats. Art
Parts (the electronic illustration files) are sold as sets organized
according to subject matter and are distinguished from other clip art by
their unique illustration style and warped humor. The illustrations have
appeared regularly in TV spots, newspapers, books, brochures,
advertisements, and magazines.
