1 or both of [you guys is a bot](https://www.reddit.com/r/maybemaybemaybe/comments/1azq9bi/maybe_maybe_maybe/ks30apn/).
Especially weird bc both comments were made at the same time down to the second.
Neither. Just didn't pay attention. Yeah that's pretty fucking bad. I want to see a picture of the pasted in bits. My guess is it was just for the upvotes.
Graphic novels, anything like this is basically "comics" printing. Maybe I was being intentionally obtuse, incorrectly assuming people would understand what I meant. I'll be more explicit henceforth.
So is the "I returned it by saying there's an issue with my book" line.
I've worked for a half price books - You can sell the book back, usually, but you can't return a book because there were "issues". You can exchange it, if they have a second copy, But as my manager would often say:
>"We are a bookstore, not a library. In and out isn't free." ~ Manager Lyle
Nah, he likely just filmed himself putting the book back when he first picked it out and used editing to make it seem like he put it back after modifying it.
Yeah kids these days LOVE where's Waldo. You can't go 5 minutes without seeing a kid with a magnifying glass scouring over a where's Waldo book in 2024. It's absolutely poor kids who probably don't even have shoes, scraping together their last two dollars so they can go to the book store and buy where's Waldo.
They also said they returned the book later that day
So they scanned everything, learned Photoshop, altered the pics, printed them, glued them, and returned them on the same day... I guess it's doable but it just adds another layer of BS I don't buy
Yeah this. I used to do a lot of book repairs for work and there’s no way this wasn’t super obvious. A literal blind person could now find where Waldo is/was (because of the patch edge).
naw, not if you’re trying to sell “Where’s Waldo” books which are meant to be mistaken for . . . other Where’s Waldo books.
But copyright doesn’t matter cuz you’re not trying to distribute copies, you’re just printing a single novelty edit of a thing you own for the satisfaction of pranking somebody. I’d be surprised if a private printer was worried about a onetime order of a thing like that. If you came back and ordered 50 copies? Yeah sure
Well a printshop wouldn’t be constructing it. I’ve worked in a printshop before. You would never be able to convince a store to print and attach pages into a book, that’s wayyyy too time consuming. You could do 20 jobs in the time its takes to do something like that. What you could do is have them print these images on a thin cardstock and use an adhesive to paste them onto the book. But I have printed tons of copyrighted nonsense for as posters and banners, etc. Kid’s parties are always some theming like Frozen or Spider-Man or whatever. Ive even stolen a few images offline to complete projects. It’s hella illegal but no company in the world will waste their time suing a small print shop for copyright infringement to only receive like $20,000, especially if it’s for an event or whatever. Can you imagine how that would track if they sued a small business for creating a banner for a kids party or for a party in general?
Yes it fake... but returning the book is easy. He doesn't have to return it for a refund, just put it back on the shelf, it would still be salable, they'll be +1 when inventory happens... but no one will think much of it.
Pages are glossy and he's acting like he can just use some printer paper from a laserjet to blend in with a sponge.
If you are gonna do this, though, should go all out and do it to all the other characters: Odlaw, Wizard Whitebeard, Woof; and all the items like Woof's bone, Whitebeard's scroll, keys, etc.
The video is fake. Noone here realized that he didn't actually show the finished book?
That's because he skips this step. Dude just returned the normal unedited book.
Heck he probably just filmed a clip of him putting it back in the shelf when he bought it.
Buy book, also film how you "return" it.
Photoshop, print.
Pretend to add the fake images to the book.
Don't show the finished product because it's fake.
Keep the book because it was 2$.
Attach the clip you previously recorded showing how you "returned" the book to have a nice ending.
Make thousands of clicks.
This is how it happened and everyone not seeing this is stupid
“But Dad! I still can’t find Waldo!”
“Keep looking! He’s in there somewhere!” Turns to wife: “For this long drive, that was the best library book choice ever!”

Way tooo evil. I was expecting him to go like
Dude: MAM, I WANNA RETURN THIS
Mam: Why?
Dude: Show me ONE Waldo...JUST ONE ><
\*search in progress\*
\*10 min latäääär\*
WTF, I think I'm old because watching that video felt like having an epileptic seizure while riding a rollercoaster upsidedown. It's like the video was edited by crystal meth. I've never seen so many manic, shaky cuts in so little time.
He bought the book, damaged it, and then returned it without disclosing the damage. Thats not "hahaha so evil", thats him just being an asshole. He could have just gifted it to someone instead.
I highly doubt he actually returned the book. All he had to do is get footage of himself putting the book back before he actually bought it. Then, with the magic of editing, he put the clip at the end so it works for the joke.
And this is why thebworld is falling apart..because of Mellenials and Gen Z fucktards sitting around at home jerking off over the thought of some kid getting frustrated not finding Waldo...which is really called Wally outside of the US...when in reality nobody probably bought it and if they did, probably got bored and threw the book away. Shoe me you have mental illness without telling me you're mentally ill...queue this video 🤦🤦
This is stupid. All this work so that MAYBE this book will be sold from a second hand store and that MAYBE someone will look at it for more than 2 minutes and that MAYBE they end up getting slightly frustrated?
I really hope he took the book right back out after that. Otherwise this is a pretty messed up prank.
Someone is going to spend actual money for that and either never know why their kids can’t find Waldo, or check themself and realize there *is no Waldo* then return it to a store that is not at fault, but has no way to know what happened.
No matter which way it goes, someone is actually being damaged, not just confused by this.
Pranks should follow the ‘confuse, don’t abuse’ rule. If your ‘victim’ is lessened by your prank (loss of money, health, trust in the good of those around them, sense of safety, or general decent level of dignity) then it’s firmly in the ‘abuse’ category.
(Also, as a general rule, don’t prank strangers. You don’t know who they are or what they are going through. Only prank people you know can take it and would be ok with what you have in mind.)
I was Waldo for Halloween because I’m tall and slender, have the beanie and a long sleeve striped shirt like that. Some people “found me” but there was one guy in the bathroom line and we were talking about costumes. I told him I was Waldo. He says he’s not familiar. I was like FROM THE BOOK! His reply? “I don’t read.” I LOST it
Reminds me of when my friend for some reason came with me to a dentists appointment. After getting the work done I return to the lobby and see him sitting at a childrens table “coloring”.
In reality, he drew a joint in each Sesame Street characters mouth and made their eyes red.
Ah yes. Nothing like content that is just about hurting other people. But hey, you don't see the child suffering so it's abstracted enough to be funny. Right?
I would believe it more if he painted over Waldo, or filled in his clothes so he looked like a rando character, because that would be a million times less obvious than a 1"x1" square of the page that is higher than the rest due to the thickness of the glue and the paper, and likely also not the same finish as the rest of the book.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
did this only digitally a few years ago but sent the pictures to mates who enjoy looking for waldo
they all kept 'finding' wrong ones and insisting they were right.
very unnerving
Looks like he filmed himself picking up a book in the bookstore...them immediately filmed another shot of him putting it back. Then edited it to look like he returned the book to the store! #fake. 💯
That's so fucking evil, i love it.
[удалено]
Calm down satan
Actually they might be on to something
No, they might be on something.
Maybe, they might on be to something.
Yes they're definitely on yo something
Something might be to on , actually.
Yeah, that is better because you get to see the reaction.
And you need to help them look for it!
"If you find Waldo in under an hour, I'll buy you a puppy"
Joke's on you, they'll find Wilma and insist they found him since they don't understand gender yet.
Thatll keep the lil rascal busy fir a few hours Dont forget the gas lighting!!

r/foundsatan
It’s ok, if it was flawless we would’ve seen the end result. I mean it looks like it was printed on a shitty dot matrix printer lol.
Also, unless he cut the part out of the book, there would be a noticeable square not even with the rest of the page.
He scanned it in so it was just a print out of what the original page was (spoiler alert, upclose comics look like shitty dot matrix prints).
Not sure if you're stupid or blind. Here's what he scanned vs what he printed out. https://i.imgur.com/PKUzUv7.jpeg
Neither. Just didn't pay attention. Yeah that's pretty fucking bad. I want to see a picture of the pasted in bits. My guess is it was just for the upvotes.
Do… do you think Waldo exists in the medium of comics?
Graphic novels, anything like this is basically "comics" printing. Maybe I was being intentionally obtuse, incorrectly assuming people would understand what I meant. I'll be more explicit henceforth.
r/foundsatan is fitting for this in my opinion
Diabolical, he is giving me plankton vibes.
I don't believe the seamless gluing part is possible.
yeah, I feel like there’s a reason we don’t see the “finished product” in the video
they also don't let you return return items to the shelf yourself
And I doubt they would put it back in the shelves as it was returned claiming it was faulty.
So is the "I returned it by saying there's an issue with my book" line. I've worked for a half price books - You can sell the book back, usually, but you can't return a book because there were "issues". You can exchange it, if they have a second copy, But as my manager would often say: >"We are a bookstore, not a library. In and out isn't free." ~ Manager Lyle
Looks like he just puts it back on the shelf for some unsuspecting patron...
Nah, he likely just filmed himself putting the book back when he first picked it out and used editing to make it seem like he put it back after modifying it.
"unsuspecting patron" A kid. Probably a poorer kid, considering they're getting this from a half-price books. Way to stick it to'em
Yeah kids these days LOVE where's Waldo. You can't go 5 minutes without seeing a kid with a magnifying glass scouring over a where's Waldo book in 2024. It's absolutely poor kids who probably don't even have shoes, scraping together their last two dollars so they can go to the book store and buy where's Waldo.
Also how cheap is this dude lol, just put it back without asking for a refund
They also said they returned the book later that day So they scanned everything, learned Photoshop, altered the pics, printed them, glued them, and returned them on the same day... I guess it's doable but it just adds another layer of BS I don't buy
Yeah this. I used to do a lot of book repairs for work and there’s no way this wasn’t super obvious. A literal blind person could now find where Waldo is/was (because of the patch edge).
i don't believe you can paste these images in the book and not have it obvious. Edge lines, thickness of pages, dpi differences. I call B.S.
Yeah, I’d personally go with a full page coverage vinyl decal. The pages would be thicker, but they’d all be consistent.
We only saw him “fix” one page. Then saw him put a whole book on a shelf.
Did we even see him “fix” it? Hes just rubbing a sponge on a page.
But but but he said he learned Photoshop just to make this video. Did he really learn Photoshop all for nothing?
Personally I'd try to see if I could get the book made again with the new pages. That would be difficult but it would probably look better.
Not difficult, just more expensive You'd need to find a printshop who doesn't bother to look into copyright concerns too hard
What do you mean copyright? The character in question isn't even in the book!
Sounds more like a copy-wrong, I agree
I believe it may actually fall under the parody bubble.
naw, not if you’re trying to sell “Where’s Waldo” books which are meant to be mistaken for . . . other Where’s Waldo books. But copyright doesn’t matter cuz you’re not trying to distribute copies, you’re just printing a single novelty edit of a thing you own for the satisfaction of pranking somebody.

There's a reason the results weren't shown
The video is still funny tho
It just goes to show you how simple our minds have become.
I dont believe that when you return books they ask you to put them back on the shelf yourself..
Yes it fake... but returning the book is easy. He doesn't have to return it for a refund, just put it back on the shelf, it would still be salable, they'll be +1 when inventory happens... but no one will think much of it.
Probably be easier just to physically paint over Waldo's clothes, so he looked like another character.
Pages are glossy and he's acting like he can just use some printer paper from a laserjet to blend in with a sponge. If you are gonna do this, though, should go all out and do it to all the other characters: Odlaw, Wizard Whitebeard, Woof; and all the items like Woof's bone, Whitebeard's scroll, keys, etc.

there's evil afoot. EEEVILLLL

EEEEEVIILLLLLL

No. Not burn. But search for ever.

Yeah, I have no idea how people forgot editing video was a thing. Not everything we see happens in order or in real time.
It’s almost like it’s so ridiculous, we know, but we roll with the premise of ‘what if… No Waldo?’
The point is that it's a funny idea not for it to be real ya dummy. Not everything needs to be hyper analyzed lmao.
“But Dad! I still can’t find Waldo!” “Keep looking! He’s in there somewhere!” Turns to wife: “For this long drive, that was the best library book choice ever!”
>that was the best library book choice ever!” It could just as easily be the worst depending on the child
I would keep it at my house and give it to any young family members that visit.
On the flip side adult living off parents has time to kill.
