I love Mayor Chisel. Seriously, the guy is a complete dude. He's blatently the forerunner of Major Wilkins from Buffy, coincidently my favourite Big Bad of the entire Jossverse (Angelus doesn't count, that being mostly based on sex-appeal and eyeliner and leather pants, all of which Faith, as Mayor Wilkin's sidekick, also had). Of course, Mayor Chisel doesn't Ascend into a giant snake and he doesn't have a sexy evil Slayer on his team, but he did try to feed Dash and Mars to a werewolf - and I was in hysterics when he basically mocks Mars for having caught Werewolfitus; it's such a hilariously tasteless and cruel thing to do - and he projects that same genial, avuncular brand of Evilness that was Mayor Wilkin's trademark.

Also, whatever's going on in Eerie? He's so in on it. That big fit he has about the Circus of the Parabelievable, and how anxious he is to get his hands of the "Space Thingie" (a name worthy of Jhonen Vasquez, incidently, and I can offer no higher praise than that), coincidently just one episode before Dash shows up? Conspiracy! Also the Loyal Order of Corn, the Harvest King festival, the speech about America's history of looking the other way, the speech about not liking newcomers, and the fact that he hangs around with Elvis? Either he's an alien, or he really is an "overbearing, money-grabbing Mayor" who has sold the town out for shiny alien gold.

And come on, he feeds people to a werewolf! Who hasn't wanted to do that occaisonally?
