* FridgeLogic: One early story arc in the comic had Howard running for president, but since he comes from another dimension, he's not a United States citizen, and is therefore not allowed to run for president in the first place.

** Marvel's editors made Howard start wearing pants to prevent Disney from suing on the grounds of him looking too similar to Franchise/DonaldDuck. Now that Disney owns Marvel, that's probably not an issue.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Could be seen as (admittedly a very bizarre) one to [[ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}} John Constantine]]. He was the BreakoutCharacter of Creator/SteveGerber's revolutionary ComicBook/ManThing run, Constantine was the BreakoutCharacter of Creator/AlanMoore's revolutionary ComicBook/SwampThing run. In recent years they've come to dress alike, they're both unconventional private detectives, both heavy smokers, DeadpanSnarker's, JerkassWoobie's, both have misanthropic personalities, both lecherous, both casually interact with religious figures but [[NayTheist are not religious]].
** Has a Creator/DarkHorseComics counterpart in Duckman, a miniseries from Dark Horse Presents [[AdaptationDistillation that became]] a CultClassic [[WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}} Cartoon]].
** His Creator/ImageComics counterpart is Leonard the Duck, or rather Howards his counterpart as he's the original Howard the Duck who Creator/SteveGerber [[ArmedWithCanon stole from under Marvel's nose.]]

* SpiritualLicensee: Some would say the 2012 movie ''Film/{{Ted}}'' showed how to do the basic urban fantasy concept of the property right on film.

* FandomVIP: Creator/GeorgeLucas's love of the source material was the genesis for wanting to make a film adaptation. How the final product turned out is another matter entirely.

** Of the highest degree in [[spoiler:''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', and even the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse franchise]] altogether.]]
** In the original comic series, it's highly unlikely that anyone expected that the people that helped out Howard with his mental breakdown would be [[spoiler:Music/{{KISS}}]]!

* {{Misblamed}}: Exactly how much blame Creator/GeorgeLucas can get for the film's production and overal failure varies from person to person, even among those who worked on the movie itself. The few absolutes that everyone can agree on are that he wanted to make an adaptation of the film, his hiring of Huyck and Katz in their respective positions, and the recommendation of [[Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic his own effects studio]] to work on the film's visual effects.
