In my headcanon, I’m shipping Waldo and Carmen Sandiego. Nobody can find them, and they travel the world on a global crime spree.
In my head, Waldo is a trans guy, living his best life, using his dead name Carmen Sandiego, drag, and gender norms as an effective tool as an effective shield against the authorities to seperate their work life from their personal life.
This is why Carmen is flashy, memorable, and bold while Waldo is quiet and casual.
That newer Carmen San Diego cartoon is pretty fun.
He has been framed by Odlaw and the Waldo Watchers…

Could’ve laid out the entire thing differently from the beginning :) (j/k, the author thinks their audience is stupid, of course)
TBF, looking around at the general population, their audience is statistically likely to be someone stupid.
Found him!
The schtick is that his name rhymes w/ whatever the pronunciation of “where” is in the current language
Wheredo Waldo
Uhhh …
I don’t know about French but for the other languages I can say it’s not true
Where can I learn to spin yarns like that?
