We rarely feel sympathy for Mario's a adversaries, but poor Wario's got it rough. A lifetime of living in the red-hatted plumber's shadow has to imbue one with all manner of psychoses -- the worst of which is the assumption that things branded with the first letter of your name belong solely to you. It's a heartbreaking tale explored by GG Guys in last week's Wrapup winner, "Where's Wario?" Congrats, Guys! Condolences, Wario.
Second and third place went to Bill Amend's guest strip for Penny Arcade (simply titled "Penny Arcade") and "Bat H.V.A.C." by Ninja Ken. We'll be wrapping up our favorite strips from this week tomorrow evening -- make sure you suggest your favorite comic in the comments section, or send in a tip!

Man that Bat HVAC comic was bad. It actually would have been kinda funny if it just ended at "oh a vent" but I guess "boner" is automatically funny?

is your name "The Walrus" on theninjaken.com? someone said the exact same thing in the comments thread on that site as well. I think it would have been funnier if it just showed the gamer with an astonished or unamused look on his face saying absolutely nothing. boner is so last-gen.

I posted that as a comment on the comic there under that name, so sure.
Been playing Beatles Rock Band, what can I say? Besides "goo goo g'joob", I guess.

Some one help me out.
I though Mario and Luigi were twins. But wario is meant to be Marios evil twin.
So is Luigi Mario's [much] younger brother or were they triplets?
And where does Waluigi fit into the story?

Or we shouldn't think too hard on an attempt to shoehorn a story behind Player 1 (red guy) and Player 2 (green guy).

This is what happens when your first name and last name is the same name as your sons name (in game).
It gets complicated.

The only thing we can really be certain of is Luigi is Mario's younger brother. Mario and Luigi's connection to Wario seems to be that they are cousins, but where Waluigi fits in has never been mentioned, possibly Wario's brother. Waluigi has been referred to as Wario's brother in some games and not in others.

The CAD strip called "Perky" should be in next week's wrapup. The first cell alone had me laughing pretty hard.
