The History and Etymology of Mad Scientists’ Assistants

Antecedents of Igor: The History and Etymology of Mad Scientists’ Assistants: The mystery: How did the name “Igor” come to be the generic designation for a mad scientist’s hump-backed assistant? In fact, how did mad scientists come to have assistants at all?
