Hi all!

In the comments to his huge Duck Family Tree:
http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/myducktreebig.html
our French friend Gilles Maurice mentiones that there is a real statue of
Cornelius Coot in  Disneyland, Florida, but there he is called Cornelius
Cornhoot - not Coot, that's IMO a big shame and a perfect evidence for the
total lack of respect for Barks and his work, that is frequently shown by
Disney Co. and many, many others. You can bet that if there is any statues
in the French Asterix park - they will be named correctly in accordance with
the names used used by Goscinny and Uderzo.

However this was not what I had planed to write about. Gilles also says that
Cornelius' "wife" - Clinton Coot's mother is called "Pluckahontas". Do
anyone know if that's a name Gilles has invented all by himself or if it has
actually been published somewhere?
