In "Heavy Duty," a simple misunderstanding between Daisy and Donald sends the duck into a spiral of self-imposed weight gain, leaving him desperate to return to his usual size. Written and drawn entirely by William Van Horn, this 1989 tale blends classic Disney humor with a surprisingly physical twist, all framed by Walt Kelly’s iconic cover art.

When a miscommunication with Daisy sends Donald Duck into a spiral of emotional eating, he finds himself unexpectedly ballooning to comically large proportions—prompting a frantic quest to shrink back to his usual size. With help from the eccentric Dr. I Crakum Knob and the oddly supportive members of the Twaddle and Waddle Society, Donald must navigate a series of absurd mishaps, all while dodging the ever-patient Mr. Broadbeam and the bewildered trio of Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Minnie Mouse is all set for the charity bazaar in her gypsy fortune teller costume—almost. She just needs a proper crystal ball to complete the look, so Mickey and Goofy set out on a drive to find one. Their search leads them to a real gypsy camp, where they discover a crystal ball with mysterious powers, but not before two crooks—Skar and Terrible Tiny—catch wind of its existence and start closing in.
