Waldo Can't Hide From Mathematica

Waldo may be good at hiding from you and me, but can he hide from computers? Stack Overflow user Heike used the power of Mathematica to come up with an algorithm that identifies the sneaky striped dude: Link - via The Verge

From my understanding his solution only works with horizontal strips (i.e. Waldo must be standing upright). Also his solution would also highlight any other instances of short, horizontal red stripes.

Ah, but can it find Waldo in that one where everyone looks almost but not quite like Waldo?
