  1. This is Wally of 'Where's Wally' fame.

    In the series he is basically 'hidden' in a picture consisting of thousands of people such as this one:

  3. Where's Wally?, published in the United States and Canada as Where's Waldo?, is a series of children's books created by British illustrator Martin Handford. The books consist of a series of detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally hidden in the group. Wally's distinctive red-and-white striped shirt, bobble hat, and glasses make him slightly easier to recognise, but many illustrations contain "red herrings" involving deceptive use of red-and-white striped objects. Later entries in the long-running book series added other targets for readers to find in each illustration

    why famous? now that seems pretty redundant ..my wiki answer has it, i presume.
