ASS

That's legitimately what one of my friends says to me every damn time I wear this shirt.

Sorry, I didn't mean to poke a sore spot, just some friendly levity.

I hope you accept my apology.

I've always wondered why localising 'Wally' to 'Waldo' in the States (unless it started in the US? But IIRC it didn't) was entirely necessary, it's not as if Waldo is exactly the Dave of the US

Nah, it's from the UK. I guess it was to stop Americans from getting confused when they couldn't find a Walmart in the pictures.

I dunno, Waldo is a more unique name, so it's a bit more iconic from a marketing stand-point. I've known quite a few Wallys, but I can't think of any Waldos.

Saying "Where's Wally?" is sort of mundane, like "Hey, Rachel, where's Bob?" whereas "Where's Waldo?" gives Waldo the uniqueness he deserves to stand out in a crowd.
