Kildare Coot
Kildare Coot is a
fictional character of the
Scrooge McDuck universe made for
The Walt Disney Company by
Romano Scarpa. He was introduced as a highly eccentric fourth cousin of
Donald Duck in the story "Sgrizzo, il piu' papero balzano del mundo" (roughly translated as "Kildare Coot, the weirdest duck in the world"), first published on
October 25,
1964. Though his excact relationship to Donald remains uncertain his last name suggests he belongs to the
Coot Kin and that he is related to Donald through
Elvira Coot, Donald's paternal grandmother. It has been suggested that his father could be a sibling of
Cuthbert Coot and
Fanny Coot. This would make him a grandson of
Casey Coot and his wife Gretchen Grebe, Elvira's brother and sister-in-law respectively.
