Who is Clyde Crashcup, and what was the name of his assistant?

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 only whispered into Clyde's ear. In one episode, though, Clyde invented a wife; her voice was provided by June Foray (who also portrayed Rocket J. Squirrel in Rocky and Bullwinkle, among many characters). 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.
