Clyde Donovan

**Clyde Donovan**, formerly **Clyde Goodman** and **Clyde Harris**, is one of the boys' classmates. His birthday is April 10 as seen on his Facebook profile page in "You Have 0 Friends". In "Crack Baby Athletic Association", it is revealed that Clyde's mother is Dutch, and as such, he has at least some Dutch ancestry. Clyde is a member of Craig's Gang.

Clyde Donovan is a regular member of Craig's Gang, along with Craig Tucker, Jimmy Valmer, and Tolkien Black.

Clyde made his first appearance in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" as a background character in the third-grade class, seated in front of Pip Pirrip. Clyde had his first speaking role in "Weight Gain 4000" as an Indian in the South Park play being performed for Kathie Lee Gifford. During "Clubhouses", Clyde begins dating Bebe Stevens and they briefly get back together in "The List".

## Background

In "Cherokee Hair Tampons", Butters comments that Clyde would have helped in getting Cartman's kidney for Kyle, but his appetite for tacos got in the way - referencing his weight, which had also been pointed out by Butters in "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000".

In "Lice Capades", Clyde thought at first that he was the only one in the school who had head lice. Clyde did not want to reveal it or have it found out, because he feared he would be made fun of and embarrassed by Cartman and the rest of the class. However, Clyde's lice problem was not revealed to the others, as Kenny McCormick was accused by Cartman. This episode was the first time Clyde's last name was 'Harris', as stated at the lice inspection. However, in the later reruns, this was corrected.

In "The List", Clyde is listed through a doctored list as the cutest person by the girls, becoming arrogant and narcissistic. It is revealed that he was only listed as such so that the girls could acquire free shoes from his father's shoe shop.

In "Fatbeard", Clyde decides to join Cartman's Pirate Club to live the life of a pirate. However, Clyde is met with disappointment upon arrival in Somalia, observing the poor living conditions. Clyde eventually broke down into tears on two occasions.

In "Reverse Cowgirl", Clyde's habit of leaving the toilet up eventually led to the death of his mother. The boys, believing that Clyde is not to blame for the incident, decide to assist Clyde and sue the inventor of the toilet through a "sue-ance". However, during the trial, the inventor reveals that the correct way to use the toilet is to sit inwards. Following this, Clyde begins to adopt the position, intentionally putting the toilet seat up after use and flipping off his mother.
