Where's Dom? – Dominic Cummings Parody of Where's Wally, Published

Welbeck Books have published a new book, just as it looks like Great Britain is going back into lockdown.Where's Dom? by the pseudonymous Izzy Missing is a parody of the Where's Wally or Where's Waldo books in which people spend ages over highly detailed illustrations looking to find the eponymous hero. In this case, however, the individual is Dominic Cummings.

Dominic Cummings is the Chief Advisor to Prime Minister Boris Johnson – Americans, consider that post equivalent to Chief Of Staff. Unelected, highly influential and powerful, and subject to criticism. He was also responsible for the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid choosing to resign earlier in the year.

In May 2020, it was reported that he drove his family from London to his parents' farm in Durham during the pandemic lockdown, while suffering from coronavirus, against his own government's guidelines, which he had been responsible for setting. Coupled with a trip to nearby Barnard Castle beauty spot on his wife's birthday, "to test his eyesight", it attracted much mocking from the public, MPs and the media, with calls for his resignation. I joined in.

And as part of that, we now get "Where's Dom?" Here's the listing:
