In Plain Sight

Our very own Milwaukee-soaked “Where’s Waldo”-style hidden object puzzle.

BY Matt Hrodey

When English illustrator Martin Handford created the Where’s Wally? book series in the mid-1980s, Wally (Waldo in the U.S. editions) was an afterthought. Merely a through-line to connect Handford’s detailed illustrations, the stripy gentleman nevertheless became the star.

Therefore, for our very own Milwaukee-soaked “hidden object” affair, English artist Adam Doyle implanted a colorful local celebrity or three, in addition to the other objects and people listed below.

What to look for:
➝ The Milwaukee lion
➝ Blue baseball glove
➝ Beer growlers (3)
➝ Milverine
➝ Antlers
➝ Scarf-wrapped hipster
➝ Mayor Barrett
➝ Tiki drink
