The question cam up today while talking with Dan, What ever happened to those classic Where's Waldo books? I remember sitting in the chiropractors waiting room reading the only good book I, as a 13 yr old, can find: "Where's Waldo?". Hours passed by seeming as minutes in that waiting room trying to find the sole hero of the book in the midst of his worldly chaos. Which beckons the question, why WAS he always voluntarily in the midst of chaos anyway? Don't you ever go home and lounge Waldo? Don't you ever like to visit your family or sit down to a nice quiet dinner with your significant other? Or are you just another form of control the media has tactfully put into place to subliminally control the minds of the American youth telling us all to just accept the world around us and that there's nothing we can do about it?
Regardless, the outcome of my Waldo book waiting room experiences resulted in a few happy memories and feelings of extreme satisfaction (finding him) or utmost smite (failing at a child's book).
I did a brief search on where's Waldo on the internet and I found something that made me laugh. I'm posting it just for you. [ link ]

Actually, I did some extensive research on this and discovered that Waldo is actually an NSA agent which explains why he's always in the midst of such chaos. It also explains how he can travel to so many different times and cultures so freely.
If you were actually there at the time of those pictures being taken, you wouldn't see Waldo in his red and white striped suit but rather in plain clothes that match the time period of that particular picture. You see, the pictures that have been published are top secret pictures from Waldo's supervising commander that were leaked...they have a filter on them so that his commander can identify and keep tabs on the position of Waldo at all times. Very similar to what was done in the ballroom scene of the first Mission Impossible movie.
Oh, and Waldo isn't his real name. That's his alias. His real name is Billy Batson.
Makes perfect sense.
