Happy, Happy Valley!

Happy, Happy Valley! is a DuckTales 2017 comic book story.

Synopsis[]

While flying in the Sunchaser Scrooge, the nephews, Donald, Webby, and Launchpad crash land off the coast of an uncharted island. Upon arriving, they are unexpectedly welcomed by several suit-wearing attendants led by one Gladys Seeya. She informs the group that they are in Happy, Happy Valley, where they find their various needs and whims catered to. Though Donald is suspicious, the luxuries start to win him over, though it quickly becomes evident that Gladys and her fellows want the Ducks to be happy whether they want to be or not.

Having tired of Happy, Happy Valley, the Ducks attempt to leave only to find the raft they came ashore on missing and the waters apparently infested with sharks. Gladys attempts to rope them into more activities, but even Louie becomes skeptical when he finds out that there's no competition allowed. However, Webby hatches a plan to get them off the island, with most of the Ducks taking part in various activities while Huey finds the island's generator and shuts it down. The Ducks then reveal that their activities have been a cover for the construction of an escape balloon.

Flying back to the Sunchaser, the Ducks notice that the sharks have disappeared, and conclude that they were holograms. With the island's power shut down, the Sunchaser becomes functional again, and the Ducks take off for home. After hearing Louie celebrating their escape, Scrooge reveals that he set up Happy, Happy Valley in order to teach his great-nephew that possessions and privilege aren't the key to happiness. Unfortunately, Donald immediately begins sabotaging the lesson by commenting on the pleasure of being waited upon.
