Books
Waugh's 1947 survey, The Comics, was the first comprehensive history and analysis of comic strips. The book was reviewed in 1948 as fulfilling "the need for a thoroughgoing study of this flourishing branch of popular literature". Waugh also wrote a series of instructional books, including two on painting with palette knives, and he was the editor during the 1940s and 1950s of the textbooks used in the home study course of Art Instruction, Inc. His other books include Space Answer Book (1972) and Fish and Underwater LIfe.
During the 1930s and 1940s, Waugh's studio was in suburban Newburgh, New York. His works are held in the collections of museums in Ohio, New York and Iowa. The University of Syracuse holds his papers.
