<BR> the Leonard the Duck comment above is because the creator of Howard (Steve
<BR>Gerber) put him in the wittness protection program, and he is now under a
<BR>differnent name under Steve's wing. While a clone is operating at Marvel as
<BR>"Howard" (or so I recall, hey, those super-hero comics do get a bit
<BR>convulated and complicated).
