Here's waldo

Its a non looping gif. Starts with Waldo. Removes him. Doesn’t put him back.

Unique comic. Definitely got me…

    Reading on desktop and it timed almost perfectly for me. I finished the comic just in time to scan back to the first panel and catch him pop out of existence 😁

    In Eternity it loops but I inferred is a non looping gif. Those fuckers.

      In Voyager it never loops. Even on reload. Gone forever.

    On Boost it just blinks out of existence for one third of a second and reappears immediately. Clever idea though, would have been nice to see it work as intended

    Wtf! I swear I saw him too. Right about where the ghost is. But then I finished reading the comic and now I can’t find it waldo anymore.

      I was so slow at finding him, I was still looking at the top panel when he disappeared.

      Oh I thought it worked but never looped… Blah.

      Interesting to see all the apps this doesn’t work on.

      Fellow voyager user here, this crosspost doesn’t show the spoiler tag, but if you tap the crosspost link and view it there, it shows up and can be tapped.

          Maybe you just missed it for the first time. Voyager won’t restart it

            Seems like Voyager doesn’t loop it which is good, but it also caches it locally and never restarts even on reload.

              Yes! After exiting out fully and revisiting, I have it working. Now I wonder how much voyager will cache in a session and when

    Anyone else annoyed by the spoiler? I would have loved to experience that without the damned explanation.

    Edit: see below - Alexandrite displays it funny.

      That’s why it’s in a spoiler tag. You’d have to click to be spoiled.

        It actually does not show as a spoiler tag for me on Alexandrite. That’s a shame. I saw the answer before I was even able to see the comic since it wasn’t an inline comic.

        ![](link) to embed inline if you were unaware.

          That defeats the purpose of a spoiler tag!
