I called these two characters Bob and Buzz.

Later on today, I plan on hopping in a time machine and going back to the 1960's to pitch this idea as a cartoon to Hanna-Barbara. The premise of the cartoon is that, during every episode, Bob completes some remedial task or odd job to make some money, Buzz steals it from him and then a chase ensues. Buzz is always shown tiny in the animations, except for the occasional closeup where he makes some sort of bug pun like "Why's he so buzzed?" or "Nice fly, see you later." Clearly, this premise is baby-boomer-comedic-gold. I will let you know how it goes.
