Back when I worked on The Maneater in the 1990s, there seemed to be a bit of confusion about the founder's name. At The Maneater's 40th anniversary, he made a crack about how every five years a Maneater reporter would call and ask for "Joe Gold"; as a professor at the University of Kansas, he identified himself as "Joel Gold".
There were a couple years after that when we printed his name as Joel Gold. However, I also remember a framed photo of the very first Maneater issue hanging in the office where his byline was printed as Joe Gold. Does anyone have any definitive information on this?
