It's well known that the entire Where's Waldo series is one big metaphor for Satanism.

Actually, many people challenge Where's Waldo books in public school libraries because they have little educational value and no reading whatsoever. If there were little stories that wen't along with the huge pictures that explained how Waldo came to be in Tienamen Square or lost in a sea of Mongolian warriors, there'd be less resistence.

I would like to say that the Where's Waldo books are fun and they serve a better purpose than staring at the tv. You use strategy to find Waldo. It's like a word jumble, but with pictures :)

I submit that you can learn more by watching one hour of Discovery Channel than you can in a lifetime of looking for red and white striped hats. I think you can even learn more from a word jumble than Waldo.

Sorry, Waldo and I had a spat years ago for which I still resent him.
