Handford stated "as it turns out, the fans were more interested in the character than in the crowd scenes." [1] The success of the book and character led to more than 7 subsequent Waldo book by Handford - along with numerous additional publications, an animated television show, an internationally syndicated comic strip and countless other merchandise and spin-off productions.
