Background

He is first mentioned as a geologist in "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow" but in "The List" it is revealed he owns a shoe store, which is the basis of the episode's plotline, as the girls corrupt the list of cutest boys so they can date Clyde for free shoes.

In South Park (Not Suitable For Children), he is shown to be dating a new woman named Janice. She and Roger prevent Clyde Donovan from getting any Cred, much to his annoyance. However, Clyde would later sneak a fake Cred bottle from Nathan to school.
