Howard the Duck #2 (1979)

Wally Sidney reported on the "serious and often underestimated problem of animal decency" by recalling one October day that Howard and Bev went to a shopping center called The Arcade. When Howard and Bev were at The Arcade, they saw the Demonstration of Decency protesting the Pretty Kitty Pet Store due to animals being allowed to appear in public, unclothed. When a protesting woman saw that Howard could talk, she fainted. Wally Sidney watched as Howard and Bev spoke to the owner of the store. The Demonstration of Decency's boycotts forced the owner to put clothes on the pets. The owner decided that she would be moving to Dayton. After a woman insulted Howard for not wearing pants, he attacked her, starting a riot. Howard and Bev escaped the mob and hid inside of Silverman's T.V. Store, where they watched Mayor Dennis Kucinich denounce the Demonstration of Decency before being spotted by the protesters and running again. They were chased to Sidney Land Conservative Clothing. Its owner, Wally Sidney explained that he was the reason people found unclothed animals problematic, Sidney was originally a solider in World War I who attempted to become a cartoonist after the war, but was constantly rejected. Perchance, he became a haberdasher which became a success, surviving the Great Depression and the World War II years. The 1960s saw a dip in sales, but recovered as hippies were associated with slovenliness. However, the 1970s were a bad era for his line of work, as even mainstream people experimented with fashion so he resorted to clothing animals. Howard was reluctant to wear pants at first, but Wally threatened to let the protesters inside his store if he refused. Howard tried on various outfits before picking a hat, suit, and pair of pants. Going outdoors, the protestors were now happy with Howard. Howard is annoyed with his new appearance, but Beverly said they will both get used to it, where Wally Sidney said "A dressed duck feels no shame!"
