Waldo Found, Sadness Persists
Waldo, whose camoflage against his surroundings alleviated Kevin Schweiber's crippling sadness for a matter of minutes.
Westchester, NY – Sources indicated Monday that despite having successfully located Waldo, the stripe-clad cartoon character created by British illustrator Martin Handford, Westchester resident Kevin Schweiber remains equally depressed as he was prior to his discovery. “The beach scene gave me a little trouble, but I ultimately found him in a couple of minutes,” the 24-year-old reported, his hooded sweatshirt stained with what appeared to be buffalo wing sauce. “I breezed through the rest of them pretty quick though, and now I still have an hour to be alone with my thoughts before King of the Hill comes on TBS.”
Schweiber, who began a re-examination of the Where’s Waldo books after retrieving them on a recent visit to his parents’ house, confirmed that while he had completed Where’s Waldo?, the first in the original Waldo trilogy, he still had copies of Where’s Waldo Now? and The Great Waldo Search to get through, although he was saving them for later in the week when he anticipated a continuation of his endless hours of solitude.
