“Animal Indecency!” Inspired by Disney’s real-life litigation threat on Marvel for Howard’s Donald Duck-like appearance, an “animal decency” group makes Howard put on some pants. “The Crash of ’79.” Trying to regain his misplaced Cosmic Key, Pro-Rata regales Howard and Bev with promises of stardom.
