Mickey, I don't know where it might have been "suggested", but it actually did 
happen in the story entitled "Panchito" from Walt Disney's Comics & Stories #38.
http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/story.php/0/W+WDC++38-03

In the story, Panchito is visiting the USA and meets Mdm. Cluck.  He calls 
her "Chiquita" and they become enamoured of eachother.  After a short while he 
convinces her to follow him back to his home town in Mexico.  She agrees only to 
realize that she must hide inside a large urn (they have to sneak across the 
border).  While in Mexico, she becomes weary of following him about and doing 
things the way he does them (such as the hiding in the urn, etc.).  Eventually, 
she tells him she thinks they aren't a good match, but that she really loves 
Mexican food.  That is basically the end of their affair, though I have been 
advised by another Lister (a few years back) that Chiquita and Panchito did go on 
to have a continued romantic relationship either in Brazilian or Italian (most 
likey it was Italian) comics.  I have no evidence of this, though.  

Clara Cluck is called Chiquita in Italian and Mexican (and, I think, Spanish) 
comics. She is called Clara de Ovos in Brazil.

Thanks,
