Too Bad. Waluigi Time

by Matthew Taranto

From the creator of Brawl in the Family comes a book of 200 brand new comics, plus plenty of bonus content!

This twisted take on that beloved blighter Waluigi began with the gaming parody webcomic, Brawl in the Family. Waluigi occasionally "took over" the web page, supplying his own bizarre comics and japes for a brief time (usually on April Fools Day). Although BitF ended in 2014, Waluigi apparently lives on, having now created an entire book dedicated to his tomfoolery.

A masterpiece. Waluigi is a beacon of inspiration for tennis players everywhere. The comics were high quality as always. A great addition to the Brawl in the Family set I got nearly ten years ago.

It is really hard to do 'random lol XD!' humor well. It is really hard to capture years and years of context behind what makes one character special well. It is really hard to show a conflicting ....really, nihilistic!! and hilarious tone well.

This collection of comics does all of this EXCEEDINGLY well. What a hilarious, haunting masterpiece.

I recall reading some of these original comics on occasion. I thought they were funny. This book takes the original comics and extends them with a bunch of new ones. However, when you put so many of these anti-funny comics together in a package, they end up being far more cringey without getting a laugh out of me.

Although the original set of Waluigi's comics were funny enough, they pale in comparison to the collection here. Great offbeat humor, a hugely improved art style, and some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments, this was pure purple pleasure from everyone's favorite Nintendo weirdo.

This book is very funny. Waluigi always says Luigi is a loser. Waluigi buys tattoos for goombas, and goombas spell "Luigi is a loser." My dad gave this to me last week, and I've already read it twice. -Carter (age 8)

Exceptionally silly comics about Waluigi and other stars of Brawl In The Famly, but mostly Waluigi. Some of it is rather sweet, and there are some gags that made me cackle. And the spine of the book just says "WAAAAAAAAAAAA", so that's worth owning by default!
