The first comic was uploaded on May 1st, 2008, about seven weeks after the NA release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The final comic, #600, was published on October 3, 2014- [[BookEnds the exact same day the NA/EU Brawl era ended]], with the release of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' in those regions. The podcast, however, continued after the comic's conclusion.

On March 31, 2018, Matthew launched a Website/{{Kickstarter}} campaign for the release of a book called ''[[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/437762268/too-bad-waluigi-time/description TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME]]'', containing the roughly 50 original Waluigi strips from ''Brawl in the Family'' plus 200 new strips, most all featuring Waluigi. Those which do not feature him are titled ''Back in the Family'' strips, wherein the main ''[=BitF=]'' characters interrupt Waluigi's comics in a [[RestrainedRevenge revenge]] [[SwappedRoles role reversal]]. The book was well beyond funded by May 1st, 2018.

** The Playstation characters in "[[VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale B.Royale]] In The Family."

[[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] has an eyepatch (which, along with his facial tattoos, constantly changes position) for example.
** In [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/title-517/ "Rock or Roll."]] Matthew states that Sonic is otherwise accurate, but he's almost completely off model in every panel.
