‘Where’s Waldo’ Coronavirus Edition Is Here And It’s A Tad Easier To Spot Waldo Than Usual

ADVERTISEMENT

The famous “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle has left so many people with sore brains after scanning for Waldo for hours, if not days, since 1987. Plus, recently, the sneaky hero was caught shrinking in size, making the challenge all more difficult.

But now, with the coronavirus pandemic changing the ways we used to live, Waldo is no exception. Inspired by Martin-Handford‘s iconic hero, the artists Pedro Mezzini and Clay Bennett gave Waldo quite a lone makeover. Thanks to global efforts in social distancing, for the first time ever, this boy is one heck of an easy target. Sorry to interrupt your stroll in the park, Waldo, but shouldn’t you be staying at home?

Art director Pedro Mezzini has made spotting Waldo way easier thanks to social distancing

Sorry to correct you, but this was made by an art director here in Argentina: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xqfQ7AVNb/ I believe he deserves some credit :)

Dear Juan, thanks a lot for the clarification! Pedro Mezinni surely deserves a big round of applause, and we've updated the story :)

Why the down vote? Personally, I don't think anyone should profit from this. ETSY has shut down vendors/artist that have made product referencing the virus siting that they do not want anyone profiting from this.
