The Telegraph reports on April 14th, 2008: “The hunt for Wally kept a generation of children entertained on rainy days. [...] But now a Canadian artist has brought the game into the 21st Century, by painting an enormous Wally that can be seen by Google Earth satellites.”

Melanie Coles (22), an art student who publicised the project on her blog, is encouraging others to follow her lead and create a network of Google Earth Wallys across the world.

PS: Wally is known as ‘Waldo’ in the USA and as ‘Charlie’ in France.
