In Sweden, Donald Duck is named Kalle and Garfield is named Gustaf, so pretty much everyone gets renamed.

What’s my name?
Hovnarr.
In Germany, we say Hofnarr.
Sag bloß ;D
He’s got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he’ll blend in, disappear, you’ll never see him again.
With any luck, he’s got his other shoe already.
International criminal mastermind.
Why are we all looking for this guy? Forgot what he did to be the world’s most wanted fugitive?
In my headcanon, I’m shipping Waldo and Carmen Sandiego. Nobody can find them, and they travel the world on a global crime spree.
That newer Carmen San Diego cartoon is pretty fun.
In my head, Waldo is a trans guy, living his best life, using his dead name Carmen Sandiego, drag, and gender norms as an effective tool as an effective shield against the authorities to seperate their work life from their personal life.
This is why Carmen is flashy, memorable, and bold while Waldo is quiet and casual.
He has been framed by Odlaw and the Waldo Watchers…
Waltuh
And in Denmark he’s Holger.
Dammit! Beat me to it by 30 minutes, you fiend! 😄
If you’d just stick an r in there, you two could be friends.
Ah, another Dane I suppose?
Indeed 😁
Rare instance of yanks taking “y”s out of a name.
Some good OPSEC (PERSEC?)
They have no problem finding him, they have a problem holding him.
Found him!
Why does it have someone explaining the joke?
Had white space to fill.
True but could have been something that added to the punchline rather than simply explaining it
Could’ve laid out the entire thing differently from the beginning :) (j/k, the author thinks their audience is stupid, of course)
TBF, looking around at the general population, their audience is statistically likely to be someone stupid.
The schtick is that his name rhymes w/ whatever the pronunciation of “where” is in the current language
I don’t know about French but for the other languages I can say it’s not true
Uhhh …
Where can I learn to spin yarns like that?
