Why did they change his name from Wally to Waldo in the American versions of the books?

They did?! That's hilarious. But they do that with everything(think Harry Potter), I guess it makes them feel special.

They probably sued them because when it asked them where wally was they thought the book was calling them a wally. This mental trauma could get you thousands.

Simple... yet fun!
