		<itunes:summary>This is the audio from a children&#8217;s book and tape version of the Howard the Duck film, from 1986. Unfortunately, we don&#8217;t have the book that accompanied the tape anymore. It was, I suspect, one of the most beautiful artifacts ever created by man.

The constant quacking noise throughout is a prompt to tell you to turn the page of your book, but it sounds like it&#8217;s a sound effect for highlighting punchlines all the way through, which adds immeasurably to the story.
Thanks to Chriddof for this.</itunes:summary>
