Here's waldo

Its a non looping gif. Starts with Waldo. Removes him. Doesn’t put him back.

Unique comic. Definitely got me…

    In Eternity it loops but I inferred is a non looping gif. Those fuckers.

      In Voyager it never loops. Even on reload. Gone forever.

    Wtf! I swear I saw him too. Right about where the ghost is. But then I finished reading the comic and now I can’t find it waldo anymore.

      I was so slow at finding him, I was still looking at the top panel when he disappeared.

    Reading on desktop and it timed almost perfectly for me. I finished the comic just in time to scan back to the first panel and catch him pop out of existence 😁

    On Boost it just blinks out of existence for one third of a second and reappears immediately. Clever idea though, would have been nice to see it work as intended

      Fellow voyager user here, this crosspost doesn’t show the spoiler tag, but if you tap the crosspost link and view it there, it shows up and can be tapped.

          Maybe you just missed it for the first time. Voyager won’t restart it

            Seems like Voyager doesn’t loop it which is good, but it also caches it locally and never restarts even on reload.

              Yes! After exiting out fully and revisiting, I have it working. Now I wonder how much voyager will cache in a session and when

    Anyone else annoyed by the spoiler? I would have loved to experience that without the damned explanation.

    Edit: see below - Alexandrite displays it funny.

      That’s why it’s in a spoiler tag. You’d have to click to be spoiled.

        It actually does not show as a spoiler tag for me on Alexandrite. That’s a shame. I saw the answer before I was even able to see the comic since it wasn’t an inline comic.

        ![](link) to embed inline if you were unaware.

        On eternity it worked the first time. But on the 2nd opening Waldo only disappears for a split second, then the 3rd time he never disappears.

        Is sync good again? I switched a few months back when it stopped working

      I use Connect and it didn’t work for me. It never started the gif, only showed the end. I had to go to the actual website link to see Waldo.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
