@V3rity It is indeed "Quacked Quest", but I can't seem to find the happypants story. Was "Quacked Quest" featured in a reprint along with the happypants story?

There was this one Donald Duck comic book I got from the library back when I was a kid, and I want to read it again, but I can't remember it's title. The comic focuses on a fantasy movie that becomes a big hit with audiences, and everyone has fun roleplaying the characters from the movie, with a group acting like the heroes. Donald is all humbug about it at first, but after the leader of said group woos Daisy, Donald decides to check out the movie for himself, and ends up loving it. To get back at the leader and win Daisy's heart, Donald uses a giant robot in likeness of the movies main antagonist (I think his name is Zargoth?) to terrorize everyone during a festival (Including the heroic group), while he swoops in to save the day, framing himself as a hero. Unfortunately, something goes wrong with "Zargoth", and he goes to the incinerator plant and plops into a lava pool to melt, in spite of Donald's upset pleas. After that, he loses it and starts treating the remote control as "his precious" (Yes, he starts acting like Gollum in this scene). Daisy decides not to expose him since he needs the money for doctor bills. The story ends with the movie everyone previously raving about being shoved to the side, while the heroic group now becomes a cult for "Zargoth".
I think the comic book also had a story about Gyro Gearloose's happypants invention.
