Topic: My Pete family tree

(30 messages)
Scroogerello
Here's the latest Disney villain family tree I made: Peg-Leg Pete's family tree. I made use of all the comics/cartoons that I had access to. I do need help finding scans and info on the following characters, though, and I hope someone can provide that.

Pedro Bafo-de-onça, Pete's brother from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=B+860071
Pete's grandpa Gambadistagno from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2518-6
Pete's aunt Pierrette from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2002-3
Pete's aunt and cousin from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I%20TL%202770-4
Pete's uncle Piede-di-porco from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2792-1

If you have any other characters or other improvents to the tree, please tell me! :) And feel free to ask any questions you have concerning the tree.

Sorry about the messed up quality, by the way. I really hope you like the tree anyway!

Nice tree, but why does Portis have his Italian name as his surname? Where does his middle initial of X come from?
Where does cousin Zeke's "...the Cat" come from?

Where does "Gram-Gram Peg-Leg" appear, and is that actually her name in an official source?

In this comic: http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1705-AP , Plottigat's full name (in Italian) is revealed to be 'X. Plottigat'. I thought that 'Portis' was meant to be a first name, but those two different translations in one name do come off a little confusing, I agree. When I update the tree, I'll just name him 'Portis Pete' or 'Cousin Portis'. The DisneyWiki page on Cousin Zeke (http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Zeke_the_Cat) states that he is called 'Zeke the Cat', although it doesn't mention any source for it. Maybe the cartoon from which he origins ("Mickey's Cabin") gives him this name?

Pete's granny first appeared in http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1998-A (A story I, unfortunately, haven't read myself) as 'the only honest member of Pete's family'. Pete always tries to make his granny believe that he's not a crook, but an honest guy, just like his she wanted. She reappeared in http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1874-B . In the House of Mouse episode "Pete's One-Man Show", Pete shows a portrait of his peg-legged grandma, saying that she always wanted him to become a performer for a big audience. Thoughout the episode, she is frequently mentioned and is referred to by Pete as 'Gram-Gram Peg-Leg'. At the very end of the episode Gram-Gram appears in person, as the only member of Pete's audience. Although she had a peg-leg on the picture Pete showed in the beginning of the episode, she can here be seen with two normal legs. I think she was voiced by Jim Cummings.
Here's a few scans of Gram-Gram in her two comic appearances:

I haven't visited this forum for 3 or 4 years, but I always considered "Portis X. Plottigat" the name of that character, because of the Scarpa's story.

Thank you for another tree, Scroogerello! Here's a piece of comic scan, where only once appearances twin brother Pete - Zeke!

Many thanks for the scan, Mickey!!:D I'll post the updated tree soon.
I've also updated my first post in this topic, by the way, and included some more missing characters that I know about of which I don't have a scan, and the INDUCKS links to the stories in which they appear. And if you happen to know any others of Pete's relatives missing on the tree, please tell me!

Not at all! Thank you!

Yes. You missing Pecos Pistol Pete, Pete's great-grandpa, in honor of whom Pete called his daughter!

Nope.

Beware of Wikis, I guess??anyone can edit them. In the more recent preschool TV series, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Pete himself has been billed as "Pete the Cat." Some fan must have simply decided, on no evidence, that because House of Mouse was produced by the same team, this somehow made Zeke "Zeke the Cat."
I think his name should simply be Zeke, or Zeke Pete, or Cousin Zeke...

The name Portis was created by Byron and myself at Egmont because "Plottigat" didn't work in English. Learning of this, Scarpa himself later called the character Portis in a new Egmont story for Byron (D/D 2001-017).

But Scarpa only used the name because the story was being produced in English. Had it been an Italian story, he'd have been Plottigat. And the character has never had a combination of the two names??he was not "Portis Plottigat" or "Portis X. Plottigat" in the Egmont story, or in any Italian story. And it wouldn't make sense, anyway; "Plottigat" is still just a meaningless word in English, and Portis is just a meaningless English name in Italian.

Hey David, such a long time! Btw I agree with you, but I suggest we couldn't ignore the X. name. Scarpa only used it in a panel or two (written on a letter), so it's something more than the Plottigat/Portis name he usually has. My idea is to have him called "Portis X. Pete" or "X. Portis Pete", or maybe just "Portis X.", making him part of another branch of the family tree.

Plot twist, are there still regular Disney comic books around USA regarding the "comics" duck world? (no ducktales or special issues)

Thanks again! Do you know in which comic/cartoon he appeared? And where was it mentioned that he's Pete's great-grandpa?

This is my updated 'wish list' of missing relatives' scans by the way:

Pete's grandpa Gambadistagno from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2518-6

Pete's uncle Piede-di-porco from http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2792-1

Most of these stories were printed relatively recently. Does anybody happen to have one of the issues in which they appear? Thanks in advance!! :)

I happen to have the last one.

This story features another one of Pete's aunts. Unfortunately I don't have access to it right now.
The basic plot is that she visits Mouseton, but she doesn't know her nephew is a thief, so Pete tries to make her believe that he is a detective, with the help of Mickey and O' Hara. If I remember correctly, in the end of the story, (*Spoiler Alert!* :P ) Pete's aunt robs someone in the train back home, which means she is also a thief (a fact that Pete ignores).

Really? Could you make a picture/scan of Pete's uncle as he appears in the story?

Thanks for telling me, Greek_User! Sounds like a very funny story! Do you know what the character is called? And does anybody else on the forum have access to this comic??
Sirtao
Just for reference:
Pete's Italian surname, Gambadilegno, literally means "WoodLeg", which is the base for his relatives' names:
Gambadistagno->"TinLeg"
Piede-di-porco->Crowbar(literally "PigFoot")

No, sadly I can't access most of my comics right now. But even if I could, I would only know the greek translation of the character's name, not the original one. :)
