I still remember him biting Mekt's finger off in the Threeboot...

Gives a whole new approach to giving the finger.

Did he get the finger back?

It's not commonly known, but Quislet was in fact piloted by Mekt Ranzz's finger, as it escaped it's own universe in search of adventure.
Quislet's voice was the finger quickly typing from within the ship onto a keyboard connected to a voice synthesiser.

That;s also why anything Quislet possessed was disintegrated. That was just Mekt being mean

Mekt is a complicated sentient.

Mekt's finger must have gone into the same universe as the retractable pens from Hitchhiker's Guide.

Not so sure about that GL. After all, Mekt's finger reappeared as Quislet. None of the pens, or odd socks, have been seen again.
Mind you, your theory does match legends that link this universe with the emergence of Argh!Yle!, the arch nemesis of Ambush Bug.

I believe that is the universe where 1/2 of all sock pairs go to die

Spare a thought for the socks left behind. Their partners and purpose have been taken from them. They are reduced to spending their remaining days at the bottom of the drawer, alone, and in the dark. They know their end is but a matter of time. Yet, when light shines into their drawer, there is that moment of hope. A remembrance of better, happier days. For a second, they are seen. A hand reaches out. But eyes, and hand move past to other socks. Socks with lives ahead of them. Socks as pairs. The darkness returns, with the fresh pain of being unwanted, overlooked and forgotten, joining so many sad memories.

Several years ago while traveling I was at a Laundromat and while waiting looked up at the ceiling - to see it covered with socks (and a few other unmentionables) nailed to the ceiling. Obviously the Laundromat where Socks go to Die.

I'm more intrigued by the unmentionables. So, the upstairs neighbor flirted with me once. He offered to buy my unmentionables from me... apparently he and his husband had a thing for that.

The pen is mightier than the sword. So you can just remind anyone who bothers you about the contents of your laptop bag.

Ninja throwing pens with their even sharper nibs.
Deadly poison ink cartridges for rocket propelled fountain pens.
Colour based energy powers with the multi pen
All part of the arsenal of... The Stationer!

One could throw a laptop like a frisbee and cause a lot of damage. To the target and the laptop!

Howard the Duck's human partner, Beverly Switzer, was based on Mary Skrenes, a writer whom Steve Gerber -- Howard's creator -- was dating at the time.
