Purley fan based of course

I mean a comic.

 

[Claire Yeon]

@Lucy I believe it, and I cringe at the thought. Now, I don't like to be a fandom-basher - let's let people enjoy things - but to me, Carmen/Waldo doesn't make sense. Yes, one of my favorite con memories involves cosplaying as Carmen and running into a Waldo by chance, but that was unplanned. Cosplay should be about real love for the characters, not because you saw 50 other people do it before you and thought it was a funny joke.))

 

[Lucy]

I've cringed at the comic. Hang on until I get home to answer you properly

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

I have an entire "anti-Waldo" tag on my Tumblr.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

F**k Yeah Carmen Sandiego

A site dedicated to the world’s greatest thief, in all her appearances. May contain spoilers.

I think I summed up why I hate it with this tag: "there is so much more to carmen than 'that lady who's hard to find'... "

 

[Lucy]

Jackie you rule!

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Thanks. I do.

 

[Claire Yeon]

It's true, she does.

 

[Claire Yeon]

@Lucy is it bad that I'm almost more annoyed by the fact that Carmen and Waldo are not properly scrubbed in than the content of the comic itself?

 

[Lucy]

That's what I said @Claire Yeon

Reminds me of the Pusheen comic where he's holding the flask right next to his face with no goggles and there's a spill on the table. "Pusheen the cat, more like Pusheen the limits of lab safety."
