Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color #1

In "Floating Alone," Uncle Scrooge recounts a wild adventure from his youth when he entered the Duckburg hot-air balloon race to Dogalina Island, leading to a series of slapstick mishaps that tested his luck—and his patience—with Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow.

Uncle Scrooge, in fine health but facing a mountain of medical bills, grumbles over the absurdity of paying for care he didn’t need—only to find himself unexpectedly drawn into a scheme involving Donald Duck and a surprising twist on what it truly means to be worth his weight in gold.

When a heated argument with Daisy sends Donald Duck into a spiral of emotional eating, he finds himself unexpectedly ballooning to enormous size—much to the shock of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Now, the whole family must figure out how to help Donald shrink back to normal before his size causes even bigger trouble.
