As an American they only other Waldo I've ever heard of is the name of the nerdy kid in the Van Halen "Hot For Teacher" video, which I believe came out first. The publishers probably thought Wally looked like a grown up version of the kid from the popular MTV video and figured it worked. After what happened to Waldo in that music video he probably wanted to hide, even surrounded by tons of people.

We all know the bugger off tent isn't true, because it would instantly be taken over by Flapps. My preferred not-waldo is the I Spy books by Scholastic. They're photography of miniature sets instead of illustration, and they give several things to find for each picture.
