Clyde Crashcup
Encyclopedia : C : CL : CLY : Clyde Crashcup
Clyde Crashcup (voiced by Shepard Menken), is a fictional character from the early-1960s animated television series The Alvin Show, a scientist in a white coat whose experiments invariably failed. His was the only voice heard in most episodes, because the other character in the series was his assistant Leonardo, who spoke only into Clyde's ear as he whispered. In one episode, though, Clyde invented a wife; her voice was provided by June Foray (who also portrayed Rocky J. Squirrel in Rocky and Bullwinkle). Clyde had one of the four segments, and the Chipmunks starred in the other three (two of which were sing-alongs).
The character and his voice appear to have been based on characters from the 1930s and 1940s. The voice of the scientist in the 1943 Bugs Bunny cartoon, Super Rabbit, is very similar; and both are similar to that of radio-era comic actor Richard Haydn, who often played slightly befuddled or eccentric characters.
