Sorry, but your information on Howard the Duck is wrong. During the time of it’s run it was a very popular comic, it’s demise due to creator Steve Gerber leaving amid legal wrangles with Marvel over ownership of the character.
His run is still one of the most respected comics ever, and this was clearly reflected in the obituaries and tributes following Gerber’s death.
The terrible 80s movie tarnished the name HTD in the popular mainstream, but that does not mean the comics were not respected or popular.
I also get the feeling you either haven’t read the original comics, or didn’t ‘get’ them.
I would guess the ‘haven’t read them’ option, as from looking through the original comics you would see the amount of Howard merchandise, and how prominenet he was featured in Marvel ads that featured their flagship characters, which reflects his brief, bright popularity in the comics world.
Read some comics dude.

I don’t know about smarter but you definitely needed to have a different perspective. Unfortunately for Howard, most comic readers didn’t share your appreciation.

You had to be smarter than the average comics reader to get and enjoy the exquisite Howard the Duck. Steve Gerber was the only person who could write Howard successfully, and some of his run was sheer genius, using the format to both lampoon the conventions of comic heroes as well as satirize various aspects of human culture. Your rather garbled take on Howard would suggest you didn’t exactly take a close look at him before adding him to this list.
