I pulled this out recently to see if any new ideas come to mind. I think this page, or at least some of it, may help to show organization by color. It particularly draws attention to a swap of black to orange (in a humorous way) and would provide number ordering for our main colors. One of four, The last in line, and Tradition carries, all work with this idea. If you look at the croquet field you see only three balls among the wickets... red, yellow, and blue. You don't see the 4th ball. Which by tradition would be black for a 'first colors' game. I would guess that it has been ejected from the game (depending on whether you see this picture telling a story) by being mistaken for or used as a black cannon ball and shot out of the man's toy cannon. While humorous, the black ball is out regardless. In croquet, tradition on order of play is provided by the peg. If you look at the peg on the field, order of play is provided as red, yellow, blue, then orange. Players 1,2,3 and 4. The last in line, one of four has been changed from classic black to orange now.
It is interesting though because in tradition red & yellow are paired as teammates, as are blue & black (orange). Here he pairs red & blue, yellow & orange. Which doesn't mean they couldn't function similarly. Red and blue work together a certain way and yellow and orange mirror that so that red and yellow are equal in their function. Axes and grids all come to mind.

Axes and grids all come to mind. I tend to agree with you, and I like your interpretation of the cannon and missing black ball. I stared at this page for a long time, before finally pulling out a magnifying glass a few weeks ago and noticing the bottom orange color on the peg. I always assumed the color order matched the red, yellow, blue "flag" on the cover page so maybe I wasn't looking for a fourth color. Perhaps Fandango represents orange on the cover, so you would still have the red, yellow, blue, orange pattern. In any case, I am curious as to you pairings. To me, One of Four, would pick red, and Last in Line would pick orange. That would leave yellow and blue paired, and yellow and blue make green, thus giving you all of the border colors.

I think what I was trying to say is the traditional color pairs are red/yellow and blue/black (now orange) as teammates for a "first colors" game. The peg sets up order of play and will alternate between teams. So following tradition the peg would read red, blue, yellow, black (orange) for order of play. His peg has flipped the teammates away from tradition, but the peg would still traditionally set up the order of play otherwise. A "second colors" game runs with green, pink, brown, and white, in that order. Also colors we've seen used. If this observation is truly germaine, it clearly establishes color = number identifiers, now how is he using that?

. If the last in line also refers to the grid on the tables newspaper, the last (corresponding letters from page 11) can form AS I TAN which fop appears to be doing, and given the flags SPF. seems useless though. Maybe the last grid numbers themselves mean something. edit: also, SANTA, I

U. ECHO and REFLECTION seem closely related, one is verbal, the other visual.
Several echo examples are “some Proud Old FOP” ...
some P O F O P (text close to the ECHO p. 17)
and the p. 11
E + YEKEY

. The end of the mallet next to the word last looks like the Orange ball. Given the angle of the mallet if it’s only the end of the mallet showing it should be an oval. I understand that the Orange ball has a black perimeter which is not on the other balls. It is connected to the orange pajama bottoms

you are 100% correct the last in line = Orange, all in a name = red and yellow FANDANGO on cover = Orange

. Isn’t the Orange ball camouflaged at the end of the mallet? If it was truly the end of the mallet in the view we are looking at it would be an ellipse not a circle. The ball is a circle no matter how you look at it

I think justabloutnormal means that ALL colors (red & yellow = orange) are IN the NAME FANDANGO on the cover (the letters are yellow outlined in red, so red+yellow = orange).
If I'm wrong, justaboutnormal, please correct me! But to clarify, do you mean that The Last In Line = Orange is from the star code? The third word is orange, but when you put the words in order to spell NORTH, the last in line is the orange word, Hidfen.

You know why I think it's Rockefeller? 1) The man has no mustache. If it's supposed to be Stotesbury, why draw him without one? 2) He looks more like Rockefeller. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller_Jr.) 3) Rockefeller was so instrumental in establishing Acadia and the carriage roads, you'd think he'd be in the book somewhere. I've been exercising my mind a bit... cabin fever you might say... I was looking for photos of JDR Jr. but found one of him with a man who was an artist... whose style fits the painting and whose appearance matches the subject... Probably way to late, but better late than never since I did the search anyway... that guy was Jean DuBuffet a French artist / sculptor with a bizarre style of painting... sometimes... just go to Google Images and search the name... just a good match... still haven't found any sign of a base (original) painting like that though... maybe it was created by the puzzle creator... in the style of.
