About Odlaw
Odlaw is the wicked version of Waldo from the Where’s Waldo book series. He is the villain of the books who is always on the search to steal Waldo’s walking stick from him because it holds magical powers. Odlaw is the opposite of Waldo so much so that his name is Waldo’s name spelled backward. He is sneaky, corrupt, and just plain unpleasant.
Odlaw comes from the land of Odlaw’s Swamp where other Odlwaws are born and begin their journey into the world just like the parallel setting of the Land of Waldos. This goes to show that Odlaw is an evil replication of Waldo and can even be considered his evil twin in an alternate universe. Watch out for Odlaw in the series—he’s out to get Waldo and is always up to no good!
