Clyde is one of Big D's henchmen. In Mater Private Eye, he first appears by asking Carmen if Mater is bugging her, "Hey, this guy bugging you?" but she ridiculously says, "Not yet, but a girl can hope." Claude however, is saying "Well, he's buggin' me.". Clyde takes Mater out into the alley and removes his left headlight and later threatens to remove his blinkers. Clyde says, "Next time it's the blinkers, understand?". It is presumed that Clyde and Claude were arrested just like Big D at the end of the short.
