Mr Coot is an anthropomorphic coot.
Description[]
This man is or was the son of Casey Coot and Gretchen Grebe, brother of Cuthbert Coot, Fanny Coot and an anonymous third sibling. At some point he married a woman, presumed to be a parrot, and together they had two sons, Marmaduke and Botcho. Judging from how both turned out to be kooky inventors, it is probable that either Mr Coot or his wife had at least some interest in gadgeteering.
Behind the scenes[]
Mr Coot never appeared in a story; his existence can only be inferred from his two sons'.
