Summary: digest of responses

I got ten replies to my request for Clyde Crashcup info (thanks,
one and all); here is the digest of what I received.

Clyde Crashcup appeared in the *Original* Alvin & the Chipmunks
show, by David Seville (who won a couple of Grammys, as I recall
now).  He was an inventor ("Clyde Crashcup, the GREAT inventor!")
who would draw things which would spring to 3-dimensional reality
from his drawings.  Clyde was tall and had a large pointed nose.
His sidekick was named Leonardo.  Leonardo never spoke aloud; he
only whispered in Clyde's ear.  Leonardo was short and had only a
fringe of hair.

Apparently Clyde appeared in an Alvin & the Chipmunks special
a couple of years ago (I missed it :-( ) but does not appear in
a new Alvin & the Chipmunks series (which I also have not seen)
but the few people to mention this new series did so in a derogatory
fashion.  I also gather that some places are fortunate enough to
have the old Alvin & the Chipmunks in syndication on Sunday mornings
and the like.

Thanks again, everybody.
