As a small, young, numb-nuts on the come up, I used to love the Where’s Waldo books. For anyone who’s still kickin’ it earthworm stylee, all livin’ up under rocks, Where’s Waldo (Where’s Wally in the U.K.) is an illustrated book series created by Martin Handford, wherein the purpose is to find the main character on each page. This is easier said than done, being that each page is typically packed to the rafters with artistic detail and countless characters. We’re talking packed to the gills. Packed in like Vince Gill fans at a Vince Gill concert back in the 90’s when Vince Gill still had enough fans to pack a Vince Gill concert.
I don’t possess nearly enough patience to draw a Where’s Waldo scene of my own, so I did the next best thing. I found large pictures on the internet that are packed full of people, and used my next-level photoshopping skills to plop Waldo’s ass down into them somewhere. Click on the pictures to maximize them. YOU’RE WELCOME, INTERNET.
