I got this. Someone, please prove me wrong. I'll PayPal you $82.76 if you find this.

There's a cartoon from the 80s (could be late 70snor early 90s) called Howard The Duck.

You'll never find it, because of the wildly popular movie bearing the same name.

The "Howard the duck" I'm referring to was a cartoon movie that was about a Mallard duck who got separated from his flock while they were migrating south for the winter.

Howard finds himself in NYC for the winter, where he spends time with rats and frogs. They show him around NYC via the sewers.

There's a scene where they're beneath the world trade center and Howard and the frog marvel at is enormity. Then, the frog reminds Howard that "Nothing lasts forever; especially in New York." (This is an exact quote, sparing punctuation.)

The VHS I had ended with a music video by some band with the word "dogs" (junk yard dogs? Something like that) in their band name. The music video was trippy AF. There was barking in the song. The visuals were mostly patterns of colorful circles.

Like, this sounds like a fever dream, but if you've seen it and can locate it, it will make sense. I swear.

My memory is shit but I'd describe the art style as watercolor. Animated watercolor. Fro the 80s. So, yeah. Sorry.

Fuck it. $20.

Fuckit 2: 4 payments of $20.69
