Roll out of bed and shake off that hangover, because [...]

A little over three years ago, we started putting together a sketch detailing the behind-the-scenes rocky romance between Waldo of “Where’s Waldo?” fame and Carmen Sandiego of “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” fame.

“One Picture Every Day” is #2 on Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List” for November 10th (the issue with “Heroes” on the cover)! It’s just a brief mention — it would be nice if they mentioned the name of the group, or printed a URL that had the slimmest chance of being typed in by their readers [...]
