For today's Tuesday Two-fer we have Carmen Sandiego. What child of the '90's (and late '80's) who had any awareness and/or interest in geography could have escaped the ubiquitous Carmen in the multi-media of the day, making it all the more strange that she was so hard to find. In case you're wondering, this was, in fact, inspired by the recent release of the Carmen Sandiego game for Facebook. But then I don't spend much time on Facebook and I actually never got into Carmen Sandiego.
So let's get to it. We'll start , slightly anti-climatically, with simply finding Carmen Sandiego. I gotta say, Carmen has totally let herself go if she's this easy to find:
My guess is that she's headed for her secret hide out here:
That's got to be photoshopped, right? Nope. That's Juan de Nova Island off the coast of Madagascar. It's rotated about 180 degrees and there's some clouds obscuring an inconvenient bump on the "hat". But other than that, it is an actual photo of the island.
But let's stop picking on Carmen. After being on the run for so long she deserves a break, and maybe a chance at true love... with none other than....
Waldo (of course).
The first two images are from the Cheezburger Network's Win! page. And the last is from Mike Peters' Mother Goose & Grimm strip.
