Characters
- Dotty (voiced by Tara Talboy) - The youngest member of the Club, endured an arsenal of deprecating nicknames from her elder sister and friends: "half-pint," "short-stuff," and the like. A prodigy, she normally stayed at home; from there, Dotty provided case-solving information from her minicomputer and/or results from various forensic tests. She also had access to high-tech communications equipment, including audio/video links to the Club's car...and to their wristwatches, which doubled as pagers. (Where and how the Club built or otherwise acquired these devices was never specified; it was hinted that Dotty herself custom-made them.) Dotty's friends were highly protective of her, and resented it when she joined them in the field...which the girl frequently did, after running out of "homework."
- Pepper and D.D. (voiced by Patricia Stitch and Bob Hastings) - They typically searched for leads and/or evidence, which often led to them being chased by the culprit(s). It was never revealed what D.D.'s initials stood for.
- Larry (voiced by David Jolliffe) - Normally he interviewed the suspect(s) and/or passed on the Club's findings to Dotty.
- Woofer and Wimper (voiced by Paul Winchell and Jim MacGeorge) - Much of the comedy would come from Woofer, who would constantly accuse suspects without good reason, then later back-track while proclaiming his genius; and Wimper, a more down-to-earth, easy-going, yet intelligent dog, who would at times go along with his comrade’s schemes, and other times turn the tables on his pal. This, and Wimper's ability to find pertinent clues, elevated his character to equal status. Unlike Scooby-Doo, the dogs are only able to talk to each other and not to humans. They served in cases either as trackers or delivering messages and/or evidence back to Dotty to analyze. Their voices sound similar to "Amos 'n Andy".
- Sheriff Bagley (voiced by John Stephenson) - The local Sheriff who frequently relies on the Clue Club for assistance and arrests suspects at their conclusion.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
“Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
