Akomplice is known for its creative [cartoon-esque designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel) and this time around, its pocket tees, graphic tanks and snap-backs are printed with a nude beach scene of Where's Waldo. This new collection called The Nudist pushes the boundaries of printed attire by incorporating humor, eccentricity and [nostalgia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanuts-comic-1).

Waldo is a classic childhood memory, but never has he gone nude on a beach -- especially one where he'd see R-rated activities going on around him. Akomplice takes the friendly cartoon character and revamps him and his surroundings to suit today's fashion-forward shopper. Snippets of this fun print is found on the collection's 5-panels, tanks and T-shirts, as well as summer edition items like skate decks and [beach towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mack-weldon-x-bather). Take a look to see if you or others can find Waldo without chuckling.
