ha! we've been down this road before, too. - joe bfstplkedit - just to obviousize all that, it's entirely possible that Frank Frazetta, who ghosted for Al Capp, deliberately misspelled Joe's name to put his personal imprint on the comic. editē - or maybe he couldn't remember how Al spelled it.

Or maybe he purposely misspelled it to avoid confusion with Mr. Mxyztplk.

what does B&M stand for
Brick and mortar, i.e., the print version rather than the online one. Brick and mortar to mean a store which has a physical building, I accept readily, but I'm not ready to accept B&M for any physical entity whatsoever. In addition, you could order a "B&M OED" from a non-B&M store (e.g. amazon.com) - isn't that like ordering a leatherbound OED from a vegetarian store. (^_^)
