Some specific evidence that backs up this fan theory (which is probably the most smoking-gun, "R+L=J" fan theory for this show):

Also in Dreamscaperers, when Bill reflects on the name "Stan Pines", he's clearly thinking of the wrong Stan.

Not that part, this part. Where Gideon says "I need you to enter the mind of Stanford Pines and steal the code to his safe," and Bill turns around and says "Stan Pines..." to himself.

Each episode has a key for those. The key for the first is widdle and the key for the second is shifter. There's websites that'll decode it.

Edit: There's also this one at the corner of Dipper's cork board. It's a bit hard to make out but the missing letters can be filled in by context. tev fp tbkav pl mbocbzq

Ooh, I overlooked that. Thanks!

Edit: For the corkboard one, using the decoder at themysteryofgravityfalls.com, ATBASH, then CAESAR-3, then ATBASH decodes it. Stumbled on that one by luck my first try.

So that whole theory on 3 or 4 fingers on a hand isn't really anything is it? Cause it just looks like adults have 4 fingers and kids have 3, but then also sometimes Gideon has 4.

If I remember correctly, throughout the first season Gideon had 4 fingers, but in the one brief shot of him in the S2 opener he has 3.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the cipher key in this episode - it's unusual in that it's spread out over 3 seconds in the background rather than in a single shot like every previous episode this season. It's hidden in the background while Mabel is running in the part where she finds the spray bottle top for the anti-love potion.

I watched all of Over the Garden Wall because of this, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I have to try convincing all my friends to watch it. Thanks Alan!

Because of recommendations in this thread and elsewhere, I decided to give Over The Garden Wall a try. I don't really like the setting, but I do really like the characters. It took a while for them to grow on me though - I almost gave up because of the setting with the third episode, but I stuck it out for one more and that hooked me to the end.

Also having Christopher Lloyd as one of the voices helped.

I forget how to decode the browned paper things flashed at the end. This one has this three times:

Edit: Found it on reddit, apparently it's STAN IS NOT WHAT HE SEEMS but we all pretty much knew that already, and it seems to refer to the next episode's title.

Also, the credits code:

Between the last episode and this one, I managed to watch all of Adventure Time, and after this episode I realized that Candy has the same voice actress as BMO (only without an electronic voice filter.)

Also Mabel and Jake Jr. have the same VA, but I figured that out after like Jake Jr's second speaking appearance.

My childhood!

That's Mr. M, Munching Mouth. My first week of kindergarten we listened to a record of him singing about things that started with M that he liked to eat, and there was a little book that went with it. And an inflatable Mr. M. These were the Letter People, one for every letter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Letter_People

Consonants were male, vowels were female, all were a little hosed up. I didn't realize there was a puppet show too. Here's Mr. M singing his song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS8GTWOSA60

I guess a living cypher would be obsessed with Letter People. Weird to see them again after 35 years.

I remember the puppet show, but I didn't know there was any other form of Letter People. And that Mr. M video takes me WAY back.

Edit: Apparently there was a series remake in the 90's where they ditched the 'female vowels' concept and instead made half the letters female.

After Young Fiddleford stuck his head through the Portal, he says YROO XRKSVI GIRZMTOV backwards. Once this Atbash cryptogram is decoded, this reads BILL CIPHER TRIANGLE. (Old Man McGucket said this previously in one of his memories in "Society of the Blind Eye.")
