To me the legs to the left look like the legs of Tina Turner. The colour fits, the era-theme fits, the short dress/nightie look fits, but I just can´t find the right picture.
And he still gives his love,
he just gives it away...
When we found the things we loved,
They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
We tried to pick up the pieces,
And get away without getting hurt,
But they caught us at the state line,
And burned our cars in one last fight,
And left us running burned and blind,
Chasing something in the night.

Tom Tomorrow: Part of the family
There’s a great article in Tuesday’s New York Times about my collaboration with Pearl Jam (already online here). One small error at the beginning though: I didn’t contact Eddie after I lost all the VVM papers because I wanted a poster gig — I contacted him because I was contacting everyone I knew in cities where I’d lost a paper, encouraging them to write letters to the editor.
What I actually said was to the writer that I’d known Eddie a long time, but never in my wildest dreams expected to be tapped for an album cover — at most, I kind of hoped that maybe someday I might get to do a poster for the band, but it wasn’t something I was ever going to bug him about.
Apart from that small nit, though, I really can’t complain ..!
… adding: this seems like good news — apparently the rest of my old papers are now free to reinstate the strip at their own discretion.
Lately Mr. Perkins has gotten some good news: last week “This Modern World” returned to The Village Voice. Andy Van De Voorde, the executive associate editor of Village Voice Media, said it would be up to the discretion of each paper in the chain whether to reinstate the strip, and so far no others have.
Sounds like a good time to contact the editors, if you live in one of the affected cities (which I am deliberately not listing, to avoid astroturfing — much better if the letters they get are from real readers aware of the situation) … and you Village Voice readers, don’t forget to send your thanks…

How about topicstarter to put everything in the first post...

By popular demand, I've included an update to the original post as a swift alternative for those who don't care to trudge through the past twenty-some pages (even though it's well worth it). It's meant to only brush upon the dense amount of info that has been discussed. Let me know if I missed anything of significant importance.

I agree. But thanks for taking the trouble to update your first post with additional information! Nice job on recapping the entire thread!

No problem. I also added some links to the first post of the original material Tom Tomorrow appropriated.

Nice,
So, there is still no exact match on some of the first frame, on the legs in the red dress and on the meaning behind the Seattle picture.
Are we still assuming that each picture represents a song on the album?

I read Tom Tomorrow put the Empire State Lady "amongst the waves" without even knowing Eddie was writing that song. Of course, Johnny Guitar is the obvious one. The rest may or may not be more implicit, depending if the lyric sheets and album package reveal anything. I've looked endlessly for the locomotive but it's just one dead end after another. By now, we have an entire think tank looking for those legs.
Steve Jobs threw it up on the screen during yesterday's(?) Apple Music Event. Bill Gates will probably go with REO Speedwagon when he unveils the next Zune . Yeah, I'm a Mac snob.

I'm just too lazy...! and I'm saving myself for your review of Binaural
By the way - the yellow fish in the 4th picture could relate to Jeff Ament´s sideproject Three Fish.
Don´t know if this has already been stated...
he just gives it away...

Thanks so much, Crazy Marcus!!!

I'll see what I can do. Was hoping to wait until we completely solve this thing but that goal is becoming more and more elusive.
I agree.

For what it's worth, I just got the Fixer 45, and the two circles in the corners (PJ and Backspacer) DO glow in the dark.
Wonder if certain images on the LP will light up and shed some light (pun intended) on the mystery.
