HankronAs far as Slow Joe goes, if you or others want to call it an error that is fine. Your last post is convincing and logically sound and I honestly have no reason to disagree with it-- other than my admitedly subjective feeling is that 'There's nothing wrong with the Doyle, it's just different.' To me, difference doesn't inherently mean one is right and one is wrong-- even when it's known what the artist or printer intended.
In the end, whether or not they are errors or whether or not you or I want to call them errors, both the Magie and Doyle are varations. It's perfectly reasonable to call the Magie a 'variation' and it's perfectly reasonable to call the Doyle a 'variation.'
