Where's Waldo? There. There. There!
Waldo turns 30 this year. Cabot Street Books, up the road a town, convinced retailers to let Waldo hide among their wares. Kids and I spent time Sunday seeking.
Favorite stop? Paper Asylum. The comic book shop offers a curated experience, including shelves highlighting local creators. I knew artists Braden Lamb and Shelli Paroline of Adventure Time lived in Salem.
I did not know artist Ming Doyle lived in Somerville! Ming illustrated The Kitchen, about four 1970s wives who get badass when their mobster husbands are jailed. She's amazing, and now I know she's local.
