21 September 25

Where's Waldo? This is the 38th anniversary of the publication of the first Where's Waldo book (Where's Wally? in Britain), by Martin Handford. Martin's birthday can be found soon (27 September, 1956). I'm including a amusing cartoon that arrived yesterday, and a minimally challenging fragment from a page in "Where's Waldo Now?".

21 September is the United Nations International Day of Peace. (Most of Waldo's adventures are peaceful though chaotic.) It also marks the birthday of Beth's great-grandfather Frederick George Wollenweber (1846-1928), and yesterday marked the birthday of my own great-grandfather Jeremiah Wilson Kleppinger (1854-1931).
