My home town is a pretty nice place to be, and my mayor isn’t half-bad. Still, I sometimes wish that we had someone like Mike Haggar who, when faced with a crisis, took the streets and started piledriving bad dudes with abandon. Or maybe Mitch Hundred, who could maybe talk to my personal home assistant and figure out why the TV volume is always messed up. Heck, I might even be fine with Eric Matthews (known in some realities as “Plays With Squirrels), whose prodigious intellect is matched only by his appreciation of the absurd, leading to today’s civic query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wouldn’t mind the late Adam West, as seen on ‘Family Guy’, for his wacky hijinks and odd amount of political power, asking: Which pop culture mayor would you want to be YOUR fictional mayor?

nobody from Gotham City, that’s for damn sure.
it’s interesting that a lot of fictional mayors are often portrayed as bumbling ineffectual bureaucrats who are just interested in keeping their jobs at best, and horribly corrupt at worst. like occasionally we get the idealized, truly selfless and altruistic president who looks out for everyone, but oftentimes mayors are just shorthand for municipal corruption and bureaucracy.
i guess maybe Mayor McCheese, i dunno. he’d hopefully be delicious.
Henry Deacon from Eureka, because Joe Morton. With him as mayor, we need not fear the Singularity.
I’ll have to go with Mike Haggar. He’s like a combination of Tom Selleck and Zangief, so its like covering all the bases from detective work to wrestling bears, if need arises.
