Apparently, a volume of Where's Waldo made the ALA challenged book list because it contained a picture of a woman with her bikini top untied. Waldo, you scoundrel!
Actually, I have yet to find a specific reference for the correct volume, and the description of Waldo's transgression ranges from what I stated above, to "a woman in a bikini with an exposed breast," to "a topless mermaid." Wikipedia says the books included "a topless mermaid AND a topless sunbather."
Oh, the horror. Smut you need a magnifying glass to find.

Well, at least now we know (maybe). And now, back to my regularly scheduled deadline madness.
P.S. If you want to expand your Banned Books Week reading choices, check out Wikipedia's list, which includes links to the original sources.

Well, no wonder Waldo can never be found. He's happily wandering in the land of exposed boobies. Can you name a guy on earth who WOULDN'T hide from onlookers if he founf himself there?
LOL! Too true.
