The Beakles (Howard the Duck)
Beatles parody from the March 1980 issue (vol. 1, issue #4) of the Howard the Duck comic book (Marvel Comics). Some parts of the issue are excerpts from Playduck magazine, from Howard's all-duck home dimension. The relevant part of a Playduck review of films and albums, by Duckbill Mantio, reads thusly:
,
For fifteen years ducklings too young to remember that their first album have been clamoring for a reunion of that almost-mythical rock group, the BEAKLES. Now, at last, it looks as if Paw, Gorge, Gone and Ducko have finally decided to give their youthful fans what they want. Soon to be released, SGT. BEAKLES LONELY TARTS CLUB BAND follows the musical styles of those lovable Duckerpool lads from their first rockaducky days of MEET THE BEAKLES, through their movie careers and hits such as A HARD DUCK's NIGHT, and on past even the current Duckso craze. Having outlasted their most prominent imitators, the ROLLING CLONES, the BEAKLES are back in stride with this 2-LP set, reaffirming that it's better late than never. And no, Paw isn't dead!
