Our last reader was … Googie!
Our next reader is… I have no idea. They have identified themselves as Galaxian and they’ve provided a picture (that they wouldn’t email) which has, I presume, clues as to their identity.
I’m assuming the person is the guy in the circle. And they insisted that they be the 52nd iteration of this feature.
Good Luck!
I hope they explain what is going on in the comments.
It’s Galaxian. Duh.
Every group always has one
A deck of cards has 52…
A year is 52 weeks…
Weak-Deck?
It’s ” WHO’S THE WEIRDEST SUM BITCH WHO COMMENTS HERE”….or Zonga/MJA….same answer….
Someone has Photoshop skills and knows 1980’s video games…🤔
Let’s see, who’s doing the most drugs, these days?
Irish.
Potatoes and Corn Liquor.
Well, they’re definitely older than snot, or the Civil War, whichever came first.
I’m cornfuzed. Lowell?
Man in/on the moon, wearing either Union soldier or train conductor uniform
Flooded old farm house
Pain (twice)
Farm kid sowing (pop)corn
Farm kid harvesting potato (chips)
Popcorn tree?
Bucket/pail of Triscuit crackers
…in a shopping cart
Farm kid with misshapen sickle drinking or blowing a gourd horn
Girl (?) by bags of maybe potatoes holding maybe potatoes and by table with loaves of bread or very large pickles standing on end.
How can it be that I have so many clues and yet don’t have a clue?
I’m shocked, shocked! Captain Louis Renault.(circled)
Lowell is a good guess.
Definitely an appropriate day for those pics.
Q !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, just kidding. I think with his sense of … well, the bizarre, it’s Aaron Burr.
Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care…
I only checked this to see which misguided and alcoholic member of team IOTW would pick me.
Well it’s not me. First off,I have mad photoshop skillz. Second, everyone knows my policy of shooting on sight any and all stunted Irish child laborers. Third….I ain’t even know what the hell is going on in that pic.
But I’ll tell you what. I will send in a photo. It must be the 53rd iteration of this feature. Not for any obscure reason, but because the letter E is the fifth letter of the alphabet and C is the third. Hence, 53 or E.C. which as we all know, stands for Evil Conservatives. My old website.
Major Malfunction? … shopping for the final product from iOTW in a bucket full of pain?
52 = the direct dialing code for Mexico? the # of white keys on a piano?
… are we thinking too much here?
.. it’s Burr … don’t care how much he denies it …. 😉
I believe the small photo you mention is a picture of Alfred Dreyfus, a French officer and the principal figure in the Dreyfus Affair, a political scandal starting in 1894 and lasting until 1906.
HELLFIRE AND SANDY APPLEASAUCE I WILL FIND YOU AND SQUEEZE LEMON JUICE IN YOUR EYES.
It’s not me. How anyone could think that was me is beyond reason. I’ve already said I’ll send in a pic. An actual pic and not some Zodiac killer style postcard.
You people seriously disappoint me.

It is pretty obvious to me that it is ol’ Crackerpaincart……
OH! and Googie was one cute kid.

“Zodiac Killer Style Postcard”
made Me Guffaw !!!!!
THAT PICTURE IS PROOF THAT THE ZODIAC KILLER READS THIS WEBSITE.
By the blue balls of Lord Buddah, am I the only one creeped out by that vaguely sinister looking pic?
Judging by the clue that Dr Lou Braille provided….
(Braille = Bumps)
That our mystery reader is a Phrenologist…and a damn good one.
Popcorn, Pringles, portrait, pain, pail.. I’m guessing starts with P. Galaxian=alien. Isn’t there a reader whose name is something like Palien, Palion.etc? I don’t know. Just a guess.
I have an idea, but haven’t seen him around here for eons, so I hesitate to say. Photoshop person, soldier, history buff, baker, but the motercycle isn’ in the mix.
This is a really good one to try to guess.
Almost everything in the picture seems bread(or snack food)-related.
“Pain” is French for bread. “Patisserie” is a French bakery. The uniform in the picture
looks French, maybe old military or gendarme. Is there an IOTWR reader named “Frenchy”
or something like that?
That’s all I got.
So the Zodiac killer is from Quebec?
What is that other word on the T-square like thing by popcorn guy?
Governor William J. Le Petomane
@Dadof4 – “Patisserie” or pastry shop. BTW, “pain” is French for bread.
Uncle Al
Le Pépoman de Boulangerie Rouge
Not Le Pétomane du Moulin Rouge?
Hmm. Pepo? So that gourd the kid’s blowing is an actual clue, yes?
Gourd man of the red bakery?
Pumpkin guy of the scarlet Krispy Kreme?
Again, Hmm.
I got this….he’s a very crafty fellow who used the photoshop capabilities of one of the best, hence the earlier clues.
It’s …….VIETVET!!!!….
….or is there a ‘Brig” aboard?’
Oleg Atbashian.
Could PushyGalore be that pushy?……
@willysgoatgruff: Sorry, but I can’t afford Photoshop just to touch up postcards about bread.
I don’t have the dough.
🙂
There is some Irony in all of the photos too…..Irony Curtain?…
Fur is up to his old tricks again. LOL!
Colonel William Hacket Pain
@Uncle Al (at 8:38 pm): Is the kid blowing the “gourd” or drinking from it? Could it be some kind of water container?

It was a very good bike, too.
What about the writing on the bottom? Is this a recipe? Will the Zodiac killer use some kind of kitchen implement on “his” next victim?
I agree with Burr. It’s the Zodiac Killer… or Merv Griffin.
@Vietvet – It looks like an acorn squash, especially in the higher res image the clue-giver linked to earlier. “Pepo” is the general term for hard-shell berries, and, believe it or not, include squash and IIRC cucumbers and pumpkins. And it does look like he’s drinking, not blowing as I originally thought.
It’s BFH mansplaining his stereoscope….
The craftiest one of all….it’s ….CLAUDIA!!!!!!….
Could it be…[Jubliation T.] Cornpone?
a pepe pepper pot?
Since nothing makes sense to me, could it be Phuzzy Logick?
Its good ole number 52. I remember seeing his comment. When back and looked for it but it was gone, might not have gone back far enough. What number are we on now?
He was number 48
Merv Was the Elevator Killer…Sheesh…
It’s freaken Burr. who else would turn this into such a production.
I can cobble together a few bread-related terms from the pictures – corn bread (from the popcorn), potato bread (from the chips), French bread from the “pain”, and breadbasket (from the shopping cart), but they don’t seem relevant. There’s something with color ‘shopped into one of the baskets in the last picture, but you can’t really tell what it is. Another breadbasket?
I can only conclude that it’s Fur’s way of telling us that it takes a lot of pain, effort, and bread to produce IOTWReport.
😉
Went back. So glad we have the edit button, now I need to learn how to use it.
The four corner images are all of the same individual. Same clothes, including wooden shoes (sabots?), but differing headgear. The four are in a logical sequence: sowing seeds (popcorn), reaping (looks like wheat), harvesting (looks like a sack of potatoes, plus those chips), and then the harvest turned into bread. That odd colored thing in the basket looks to me like a burnt popcorn kernel.
Then there’s the winking Dreyfus, and the breadbasket. And the clues in the comments.
With all this I can’t come up with anything I haven’t already come up with. My problem, I think, is insufficient alcohol consumption.
So, given his history and current vehement and abusive denial (I say that with a grin), I think it just might be ol’ 52 hisself, Aaron Burr.
VietVet is right about bread. More on that layer later.
But the Author is knot fur, mja, irony, abagailadams, zonga, zilla, thirdtwin, nor any saltine, cracker, crisp, chip or kernel.
nor Burr
You better reveal yourself!!!!!
Now? or Later?
Now would be good! (-:
How do we know he just didn’t want to steal our wire-cutters?

@Brüder Grimm (at 11:44 pm): Is there an English translation of that comment available?

“Who the fuck is this guy?”
A: I don’t know. Which guy?
Check this DuckDuckGo query. Two hits, and the second one is erroneous.
@Brüder Grimm – You did give us a nice time trying to figure out your name. I enjoyed myself. My enjoyment was lessened slightly when I found that you appear to have made only one comment here and that was in June of 2017. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment.

A lib. Will never face you head on. Always the pussy. Never heard of you pal. When you settle down and want to go face to face let me know. Otherwise, fuck off.
It seems like when Brad calls you “pal” that means you’re on one of a couple shit lists. I don’t want to be on either.
Uncle Al nailed him. Good enough for me.
Bad Brad, I think you have to ask in a question format. Proper punctuation points.

How bout I rip your hard drive out and stomp on it with my Desert Storm Boots.

Nice work. you are bad ass.
Thank you, BB!
I would never have guessed the Brothers Grimm, much less 52 of them.
And someone still needs to explain the bread connection to me.
It’s the yeast they can do.
@Vietvet – I don’t see the connections, either. I was loafing when this guess-the-reader arose, then got on a roll. But now I knead an explanation.
Thank You, all of you, IOTW’ers.
@Uncle Al, June of 2017, that was some good posts.
@Vietvet Kernull, twas nuttin.
@BB You too, Brother!
Holy crap, you guys are to kneady for me.
