TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME

WAA! My new project is live!
6 months ago – Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 12:01:30 PM

Hi, everyone! It's been a while since TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME was unleashed upon the world and I wanted to say a sincere thank you again for your support. But also to let you know of the next Nintendo-themed book I'm working on!

My new project, Paper Plates, is now live on Kickstarter!

[in order, Checkerboard Cookie, Electro Pop, Honey Shroom, Koopasta]

It doesn't have as much purple as the Waluigi book but it's got pretty much all the recipes from the original Paper Mario game, now made out of delicious non-paper ingredients for your enjoyment!

And rest assured they'll be delicious since I'm teaming up with the culinary genii behind Zelda-themed The Legend's Cookbook and more!

So here's that link again, take a look at the fancy rewards (including a Mario [or Waluigi?]-style overalls apron, a badge-style pin, or your own character or recipe in the book), and help spread the word.

Thank you for being part of my creative journey, and for making projects like this possible!

PS. Oh, and if you backed the Brawl in the Family collection as well, those books/dolls are almost done! See the recent update there for more info.

Brawl in the Family Ultimate Edition hardcover + Dededoll plush!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 13, 2024 at 06:13:05 AM

Hi everyone! It's been ten crazy years since Brawl in the Family ended, and to celebrate, I'm reprinting the BitF books and re-plushing the Dededoll stuffy! It's all here!

The Ultimate Edition squishes together all three of the BitF books into one deluxe mega-tome, complete with some extra bonuses as well. Obviously, the original BitF Waluigi comics are here too because I mean c'mon.

So go take a look, and thanks again for your support over the years!

There's not much Waluigi to report today, but for those of you who enjoy my other work (and maybe my Kermit-like singing voice), you’ll be pleased to know that my musical indie game has just hit the Switch! Check out the trailer below:

Thanks, and have a great one. I'll also have something new to announce in February as well.

As always, WAA.

Christmas sale for Waluigi books!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 08:05:52 PM

Hi everyone! A lot sure has changed since I last posted an update, but I hope you guys are hanging in there.

Just a quick heads-up for the holidays: the Waluigi books are currently on sale at $10 off (both signed and unsigned)! So if you enjoyed your book and want to share the love (or whatever you call it) of the gift that keeps on annoying, hop on over to the online store and take a look!

In the meantime, I'll get back to working on my next project, which might just show up here in a couple months...

Final Waluigi Update: the books are being sent out! Also, one last snag/bonus...
about 6 years ago – Sun, Mar 01, 2020 at 02:26:12 AM

Happy Leap Day! Things are busy as can be at the house, with the books being signed, packed up and shipped out at regular intervals.

Here I am signing the inside of the books by the dozens!

And on that note, eagle-eyed viewers may notice something missing: inside cover art! Yes, with a project that's been no stranger to roadblocks, we hit one final snag at the finish line: the manufacturer forgot to include my art on the inside layer upon opening the book. I was very disappointed to find this out when I got my final book, both because I think inside cover art is a nice extra touch and because the inner art of the back cover kind of wraps up the entire book. It can be seen in the PDF and here it is again:

Furthermore, inside cover art was expected from this project, so I feel like you guys were being shortchanged as well! The manufacturer is working to help me get a discount since it was their goof, so I wanted to put that money towards some sort of little bonus for you backers since you miss out on the inside art within the physical book. Here's what I came up with--

A Waluigi-themed bookmark will be included with every physical order! These have brand new exclusive art that you can see above, made of a thick card stock similar to a business card, and they're all double-sided: the front having, of course, Waluigi. For an extra bit of collector-style fun, the back will have one of three other characters: half of all bookmarks have Wario, a third have Daisy, and one-sixth are the rarest of all (yet also the least-desirable, according to Waluigi), containing the hapless Luigi. I hope you enjoy this consolation prize and that the gang helps keep your place in the book with relative ease.
 

Having every order shipped out by Monday may have been a bit ambitious, but I definitely think I'll have over half of them shipped out then! Many of you will be receiving your books in just a few days, while international orders will take a bit longer. But in the meantime, I plan to keep on signing and packing until every one is out and about.

Lastly, I'd like to thank you all for your overwhelming support. Not only was I pleasantly surprised to see so many people still interested in what I'm working on years after Brawl in the Family ended, but everyone has been very patient with all the insane Murphy's Law snags I've had to deal with on the way to completion. I greatly appreciate your continued patience and support (and if you're interested, I hope you'll check out the next book I'm working on)! And of course, I also hope you enjoy "TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME," the book so nice I made it twice!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
