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.

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)

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.

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.
