Creator Notes:

Now that I’ve reached the ripe old age of twenty-four, I sometimes need to commission other artists to help create Brawl in the Family for me. Hence, the renowned King Dedede’s masterwork of today.

Sorry it’s late, but I’ve been enjoying this fine afternoon! The big Nintendo present I received this year was Punch-Out!! (albeit a couple days ago). Having reached the second half of the game, I recommend it to any fans of the series.

Special thanks to my brother Michael for providing Dedede’s warped drawing style in this comic, complete with little details like the king’s ridiculous set of abs. This is also one of the very few times I plan on drawing myself, but I felt the strip called for it today.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m done gaping in shock, and will proceed to move slowly towards the cake…
