Looking for relatives of Panchito

[drleevezan]

To be honest, I'm not sure if there are any relatives of Panchito in the comics, but if there are, let me know. I am currently in the process of creating a Panchito Pistoles family tree, and so far it has Panchito himself, the relatives mentioned in the "My Name is Panchito!" song in House of Mouse, and Clara Cluck, who was his girlfriend in a few old comics. If anyone knows of any more, let me know.

Well, for what it's worth, his calling himself Panchito Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Gonzalez the Third implies there were two previous chaps in the Gonzales family who went by Panchito R. M. J. F. Q. Gonzales. 

There's also the Caballero who's Panchito's ancestor in Legend of the Three Caballeros, though if he goes as far back as Don de Pato, and considering that De Pato is Donald's ancestor through other lines than the Ducks, menaing he may not have been a Gonzalez, it may be impractical to include him.

By the way, you added a weird name beginning with "José" to Panchito's alias on the Wiki, with the note "(original name)". Care to give more explanations? 

At any rate, all the luck on this endeavor. I'd meant to do something similar when first watching the HoM episode, then sort of… never got around to it. (That happens to me a lot. I'm spread out over wayyy too many fandoms these days.)

Ah, well, that was his full name in the 1943 comic story "Panchito" (inducks.org/story.php?c=W+WDC++38-03). The note was actually "(original full name)".

Huh. Weird. You don't suppose anyone got confused, do you? It's very suspicious that someone would make a name for Panchito that begins with José.

Hmm... I suppose someone could have gotten it confused. Of course, it's also possible that the author was just trying to think of a Mexican-sounding name and landed on José as the first name by coincidence. Hard to say for sure which it is, though.

I believe "Panchito" is a diminutive of "Francisco", which is one of his middle names in that comic. Plus, the name includes something like "De Pancho".

Also, note that the "the third" part of Panchito's name is actually an error. It was conceived due to a mishearing of the lyric "that's me" as "the third" at the end of the House of Mouse song "My Name is Panchito". Due to the fact that the name was erroneously listed as "the third" online, it still ended up being used in current productions like the new 3Cabs show, but it wasn't never supposed to be part of the name. Note that it wouldn't make any sense for two people to have had the same name before Panchito, anyway, since the song details how Panchito's long name was constructed from being named after different relatives from his father and mother's side, as well as the minister who married his parents, his father's best man, etc. Nobody in his family could have had that exact name before him.

Anyway, Panchito also had a "rich" uncle (who, as it turns out, actually doesn't have a penny to his name) in one of the newspaper strips: inducks.org/story.php?c=ZS+45-05-27 . Don't recall his name, though.

Well it could be a silly coincidence, a gag in itself; that's sort of how I saw it. Somehow, through sheer coincidence, three different people in his family have landed on that same absurdly complicated name with entirely different reasons for it.
