Peach: HAPPY NEW YEAR, PUNK!

Toad: It’s Monday! Nobody panic! Peach: Ride’s a little bumpy, Toad!

Toad: Your Highness, not a word. Happy Monday! New Cleanup Crew strip!

Luigi: You showoff.

Toad: Another Monday? Toadette: Every week it’s the same, one tall order after another.

Mario: That would be amazing.

Luigi: Look at me run! I’m doing the Sonic thing!

There are rumours floating around that a new Paper Mario for the Wii U is in development. I started joking about it and then that turned into me giving my own ideas and wishes…. Then I got super carried away and this drawing happened. I guess I’d want a mishmash of every Mario RPG. Also yes that is a boxer Daisy with Banzai Bill boxing gloves.

Mario: I... I don’t- HOW?

They said it was impossible, they said it couldn’t be done… but for the Mighty Flavio overcoming the Pit of 100 Trials was nothing but another notch on his very long list of accomplishments.

Congratulations Flavio, you’ve done it again.

Bowser: I’m a complicated guy.

(Artist’s Note: Some practice of the King of Awesome’s expressions. I couldn’t help but notice that Bowser’s face isn’t really built for emotion. His mouth doesn’t grin or frown unless you toon it up.)

Bowser: I haven’t gotten my script yet, but man, do I have plans for my big appearance!

(Author’s note: Another lazy sketch of the King of Awesome). (Now less invisible).

Peach: Who needs homeowner’s insurance when you’ve got magic?

(Author’s Note: Happy Monday! New Cleanup Crew today!)

Luigi: Took you long enough! Toad: Oh, sure, blame the short guy! Mario: Let’s-a Go!
