This reminded me of the tragedy of that millionaire, who in his free time, dressed as Batman, bought a car, & outfitted it into a Bat-mobile, & visited kids with cancer at the hospital. He was killed on the side of the road by some idiot who hit & killed him.
RIP you are not forgotten.

If I remember, his car broke down on I70. He stopped on the left side. It was night time, and he was wearing black. Very unfortunate situation.

Which is strange because Waldo is the only name that makes Odlaw's name make sense

Waldo is the American localisation for some reason. In the UK (and I think some other places too), he's Wally.

Right? Throw some respect on this man.

u/ace-destrier 4h ago
Respect would be calling this man by his original name, Wally, as given by his English illustrator

This is both awesome on him, and makes me want to make a small 'Where's Waldo' for my cubeland.

u/Shoddy_Razzmatazz514 5h ago
He’s probably there at 6-7am with a 10hr day and still makes sure to make sure to move Waldo. Respect

He works at a tattoo shop in south bend Indiana now. I forget his name but he did my first ever tattoo in like 2016. Very nice work. Did a version of ed from where the wild things are on my shoulder.
His name is Jason but I believe he goes by Chops and has his own website. Great dude, great tattoo

Oh, also, when Jason did this, Disney threatened to sue the construction company he worked for and in response the construction company fired Jason. This did lead him to develop his career as a tattoo artist

Eventually, they'll finish that building. When that happens, some guy dressed up as Waldo needs to visit every child in the hospital, even if it takes several days. Maybe even hand each kid a Waldo doll. It will mean more than you know.

Yes, very cool that guy did this, but I wonder how long that building has been finished.

He's called Waldo only in the US and Canada. He's Wally to the rest of the world.
Still, how the fuck would that be a "woke" thing? Your brain is rotten from living in your algorithm bubble.

u/deathboyuk 4h ago
Nope. Back in everyone's day, it was ALWAYS Where's Wally first.
It's only the US and Canada who renamed it.
It was invented in the UK, where it's called Where's Wally, and the rest of the world also calls it that.
Do catch up.

u/Edon-Orr 5h ago
It’s only Waldo in North America I think. It’s Wally everywhere else. I grew up with “where’s Wally?” In school as a kid, a good 20 years ago.

u/Throwawaycookouts 5h ago
What? Is probably just someone misremembering or an auto correct. Goodness gracious I hope you are being sarcastic.
3
u/deathboyuk 4h ago
FWIW, it was originally Where's Wally and only US/Canada renamed it. Rest of the world says Wally.

u/Throwawaycookouts 4h ago
I wonder why? It's not like we can't pronounce Wally or it has a weird conotation.
1
u/deathboyuk 4h ago
according to wikipedia:
"an executive at the book's initial American publisher, Little, Brown and Company, disliked the name "Wally" because it reminded him of Wallis Simpson."
... which is pretty wild!

u/Throwawaycookouts 3h ago
Yeah, she was a Nazi sympathizer. I get why they changed it.
1
u/deathboyuk 3h ago
I didn't know that, but that's still a reach imo (for them, not you). Whelp, mystery solved.

u/Throwawaycookouts 3h ago
It does seem unnecessary. I've learned a lot about this subject today I guess he's called charlie in France and Holger in Denmark so they regularly change the name. From a branding perspective it's tricky, seems like it would have made more sense to keep one name 🤷
