G.E.N.E.R.A.L
or, Random Stuff
Howard is a pretty cool guy, especially for a mobile suit designer. The only other designers named in GW are the 5 scientists and maybe Tsubarov (*cough*yeahright*cough*). I'm working on this small shrine dedicated to Howard. I've only found 2 screencaps on the net that contained Howard, and they're both of such poor quality that I'm not gonna bother posting them (Howard's way far in the background in both, poor guy!). The super-deformed Howie pics are just as rare. The only one I *ever* found comes from Whizbang of the Nasty Goblin. We luuuuuuv youuuuuu, Whizzy! *__*
SD Howie says, "Donate something!"
I edited a sprite (I think it was from Breath of Fire 2) to make a kawaii Howard sprite!
I'm desperate for more Howie themed art & multimedia to post here. Fanart, screencaps, potato chip pictures (especially), official info (hint hint), and fanfics, it's all good. Donaters will receive MUCH credit and linkage (as well as my eternal gratitude)!!

or, Just What Makes This
Guy So Damn Cool?
Pre-series
Howard is shown briefly in Duo's Episode Zero with Professor G, hiding the Peacemillion.
He designed the "first" Gundam, the prototype called Tallgeese. (Thanks, Kumiko! <heart>)
G knew him before Operation Meteor ever happened, and even recommended that Duo go find Howard after stealing Deathscythe (scene shown in Endless Waltz).
During GW
He helped Duo repair Deathscythe and Wing around Episode 3... at least, he offered to fix Wing, but Heero insisted on doing it himself (and stole a bunch of Deathscythe's parts to do it). Howie didn't seem to be bothered by Heero's bad manners, although Duo was understandably miffed.
He and Peacemillion acted as support for the Gundams during the big climactic battle in Episodes (I think) 47-49.
After Series
Unfortunately, I don't recall actually seeing him in Endless Waltz. ;_;

Howie
While Howard is a supporting character in a few fics, he rarely plays the lead.
Howard plays the leading man in these fics:
Joyce Wakabayashi's "Mack Daddy Howard" and its sequel, "Mack Daddy Howard Returns on a Harley, Baby!"
Joyce Wakabayashi's "Everybody Loves Howard"
Erin Cayce's "A Duo and Howard Outtake"

Howard?
There are too few sites with Howie information!
I've never found another Howard shrine, but these sites have Howard info / bios:
Kumiko's Shinigami.org
Did I get something wrong? Wanna donate fanworks, screencaps, etc? Then for Howie's sake, e-mail me!
