Surely there are alternatives, like Wally being larger than the others (is that hard to imagine?).

Maybe a Brady Bunch style thing, with the others in little squares down the side? You could have an animated gif in the online version, with Wally looking over at each one, lovingly....

Obviously there should be a third option... the fourth guy in on the first cover is quite a dashing fellow...
