In "The Golden Pineapple," Fethry dives into the bizarre self-help tome Be Happy - The Psychology of Excelling at Anything by Dr. Sigmund Shrinky, turning Donald and Gladstone’s seaside routine upside down. When Gladstone wins a sailboat at a raffle, Fethry convinces Donald to join him as crew—claiming it’s the perfect chance to test Shrinky’s unorthodox theories. Written by Peter Snejbjerg and Thad Komorowski, with art by Marco Rota and colors by Digikore Studios, this 2025 Fantagraphics issue features a cover by Michel Nadorp.

In the sun-drenched hills of Costa Pina, Donald Duck’s tropical vacation takes a wild turn when he hears whispers of the legendary Golden Pineapple—gold-plated, gem-studded, and buried somewhere in the jungle. With Daisy cheering him on and Scrooge McDuck suddenly appearing with a map and a grin, the search is on, and every clue leads deeper into the unknown.

In "Be Happy," Fethry dives headfirst into the self-help madness of *Dr. Sigmund Shrinky's* latest manifesto, turning Donald and Gladstone’s seaside day into a chaotic experiment in positive thinking. When Gladstone wins a sailboat at a raffle, Fethry seizes the chance to test his new philosophy—by insisting Donald join his crew, with predictably absurd results.
