 Well played! Would not have guessed Waldo for sure.
It's been good having you play with us, Peach. As you play more, you'll learn that some QMs like to make rather clever picks to guess, like Waldo.
Thanks! I've been lurking for the last month and seen some picks way out there, and some of them that I like to think I may have gotten. It's nice to see it's not just a figure someone has never heard of or people are intentionally tricking someone.

 I apologize for stretching the definition of "read" a bit. When I saw that question I felt like it was an unambiguous "yes", but earlier today I realized that it maybe shouldn't have been. But by the time I got back online, Aristocrat had gotten it.
lol i think you brought up something like this in 365 with picture books
That was a bit of a different case, with books that are meant to be read by parents to their children because the children don't know how to read. It's a bit hard to say which books are actually aimed at that demographic though, so in most cases it would be a pass.

Good game, clever pick. I don’t think it was that big of a stretch to say Waldo is meant to be read (I would generally say children’s books, comic books, printed ads, etc. are meant to be read but could see others dissenting).

I will think of a new pick and try to get it up later this afternoon (Pacific US)

 This may be stretching the definition of “read,” but to get a free guess in before Q20: Waldo (Where’s Waldo?)
Wally/Waldo is correct!
This was a very good pick.

We haven't really narrowed the genre down enough. Should Q20 be about genre?

Wouldn't this mean the character was created after 1990, though? Reacher's in '97, I thought.
Oh balls. You are right.

 Is the character the primary protagonist in the TV adaptation they were a part of?
This was skipped (and will put us at 20 after answered)

 First introduced in a comic (book or strip), advertisement, or magazine?
No.

 Question: Is this character a baddie, an antagonist, a doer of bad things?
No.

That is question 19.

 I have an idea:

Dr. Hannibal Lecter
SCRATCH this guess. The actor's nationality part is wrong. Anthony Hopkins is Welsh and Mads Mikkelsen is Danish.

Dang.
