Where’s Waldo?
Where’s Waldo?” was masterminded by Martin Handford, the creator of the Waldo illustrated children’s puzzle book. In the “Where’s Waldo” series of books, the reader is challenged to very detailed, double-page illustrations of crowded scenes to find Waldo, a lanky, bespectacled boy wearing a red-and-white striped sweater and ski cap who travels through various scenes throughout the world and throughout time. More than thirteen million copies of the books have been sold worldwide and the popularity of the series has resulted in spinoff books such as miniature books and books of Waldo posters.
Hundreds of products, such as dolls and lunchboxes with the Waldo figure, have been licensed, and the books also were the basis for a 1991-1992 Saturday morning cartoon series that appeared on CBS. The character is Waldo in America, but he goes by Wally in England, Walter in Germany, Charlie in France, and Holger in Denmark.
