In "Losing Face," Minnie plans to dazzle at a charity bazaar as a gypsy fortune teller—she just needs a crystal ball to complete her look. Mickey and Goofy set off on a drive to find one, stumbling upon a real gypsy camp where they discover a ball with mysterious powers… and a pair of crooks who have their own plans for it. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with energetic art by Paul Murry, this 1957 adventure blends whimsy and wits, all under the iconic cover by Carl Barks.

In "Losing Face," Donald Duck takes on a summer job at Minneparken, tasked with cleaning up before the tourist season — and that includes restoring the General’s colossal head carved into the mountain. When a mishap causes parts of the statue to crumble, Donald scrambles to fix it with an avalanche of plaster, only to make things worse. Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie watch in disbelief as the situation spirals out of control.
