== Clancy (i) - daughter of [[War]]==

Clancy is [[War]]'s daughter, appears in {{IT}}, and is portrayed as a spoiled little girl wearing a {{wp|Pony_Club|Pony Club}} hat. As the daughter of a [[Valkyrie]], this is perhaps only fitting.
She has a permanent scowl which makes her brothers [[Panic]] and [[Terror]] somewhat redundant at the moment.

Clancy's description evokes the work of British cartoonist Norman Thelwell[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelwell], who specialised in drawing cartoons of serious, somewhat grumpy, Pony Club girls and their ponies, described as "fat little things with a leg at each corner" (a description used somewhat ambiguously - it isn't clear that this is ''just'' about the ponies). Thelwell's cartoons[http://www.thelwell.org.uk/galleries/galleries.html] tend to depict mini-Valkyries getting into all sorts of equine scrapes, and there was a big vogue for them, among the horsy set, in the fifties and sixties.

Clancy's name is a likely reference to Tom Clancy, author of Cold War techno-thrillers. The name 'Clancy' is derived from the Irish surname ''Mac Fhlannchaidh'' which means "son of Flannchadh"; Flannchadh is a Gaelic name meaning "[[War|red warrior]]".

== Clancy (ii) - the butchers==

Sidney Clancy (39) and Son, 11 [[Long Hogmeat]], Purveyors of Finest Cat and Dog Meats To The Gentry.

[[Vetinari]]'s pet-food retailer of choice for [[Wuffles]] and a lifesaver for [[Otto Chriek]]. However, there is a hint in {{MM}} that with the advent of a new pet dog, Clancy's may have lost the contract to a [[Grace Speaker|new supplier]]. Clancy's may not be too bothered about this. [[Book:Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook|Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook]] informs us in the section on [[Shankydoodle]] that Clancy's have a long association with the racecourse here. The company sponsors a grandstand, and has an exclusive contract with the racecourse (and possibly others) to sensitively remove and reverently dispose of those horses that not even [[Doughnut Jimmy]] could usefully resuscitate. Unfortunate horses may be consoled by the thought their deaths were not in vain and they will be reverentially buried, after a short period of digestion, in somebody else's back garden by grateful cats.

== Clancy (iii) - XXXX'ian ==

This Clancy is a stock man who works for [[Remorse]] in {{TLC}}, and helps invent XXXX-ian slang. Well, he is frequently accused of inventing it and winging it when he doesn't know the correct slang term
