Uncle Scrooge #359

Uncle Scrooge

by Don Rosa, Carl Barks, Lars Jensen

In Don Rosa's "Incredible Shrinking Tightwad," a Beagle Boy fray leads Scrooge through a shrink-ray, after which he and Donald end up battling comparatively giant bugs and beasts. Next, in "Out of Shape," Daisy wants to lose weight for a big date with Donald and makes the bad mistake of asking Gyro Gearloose to help her. In "Old Folks at Home," Scrooge's battle with sorceress Magica De Spell leads him to... a retirement community?!? "The Keeper of Babylon Gardens" is Donald, tending to hungry giant plants at Scrooge's new megamall. Finally, Scrooge enters "The Colossalest Surprise Quiz Show," where winning just might make him a loser.

This was my brothers when I was really young, and he hated me touching it for some reason. But I also found it to be really funny.
