Almost everybody in this crazy world of ours has heard of Waldo and his world-wide game of hide and seek. We’ve looked for him while we were waiting in the dentist office, emergency room, funeral home. Everybody asks the question “where’s Waldo? Where’s Waldo? Is he hiding behind the elephant or talking that weird little gnome.” What People rarely ever ask themselves is why is Waldo hiding? Is he looking for something? Or who is Waldo?
Waldo is a mysterious figure if you sit there and think about it. We know next to nothing about him. On the Waldo Wiki Page it states that he comes from the land of Waldos, which is filled with a land filled with Waldos just like him. So this means that the Waldo we saw in the picture of the beach is not the same Waldo that we saw in the picture of the camp site. It also states that he is human and that part might be true. He could have just been a scientist gone mad with due to the cloning that he foolishly tested on himself, and the world government sent him and his clones to a different planet.
It also seems like that this Waldo can travel through time with the help of his magical walking stick. How did he end up finding or creating this mystical piece of lumber that allows him to toy with the time space continuum? I think it is because of this constant zigzagging through time and space that he ripped a hole in it, allowing an “anti-Waldo” or Odlaw to crossover to his plane of existence. This being from the parallel universe is the exact opposite from Waldo, He’s describe as being mean, nasty, loathsome and disgusting. This description could be true or could have been written from the highly biased narrator. Could Odlaw be trying to stop the mad clones of Waldo from using the magic walking stick from being used properly? Or could he be trying to use it for his own selfish gains.
With all this time travel, teleportation and parallel universes, could it be possible that Waldo altered reality so that he may become a god? I say this because Waldo has many followers all over the world and seem to be everywhere he goes. These so called “Waldo Watchers” are always where Waldo seems to he has no shortage of followers in past, present and future. Maybe it is because of these “watchers” that Waldo is constantly hiding or possibly basking in the glory of all those who worship him. Is this why he’s always smiling in those postcards that he’s sending to the narrator? Is the narrator Odlaw? Is he being taunted by Waldo because Waldo has what Odlaw always wanted? We may never know the true intentions of the mythical Waldo but what we do know is he will continue to be the most sought after man in dentist offices all over the globe.
