…I didn’t know he could do that.
CLIFFHANGER AAAAAAAAAAAA
The city of Pinfall is governed by a city council of 1 members, elected in single-seat wards for staggered terms of 7 years. The council elects a 1-man executive committee from among their number, which again appoints one of its members as mayor.
Makes for very efficient decisionmaking.
Just like that, eh? Either being mayor of Pinfall gives you unlimited executive power, or the clown corps have basically no institutional power/inertia in the city whatsoever.
I wonder if Burke could do the same to, say, the Pinfall police department. Just go: “That’s it! No more cops!” and shut it all down in a day without pushback. Or maybe there will be pushback? I guess we’ll find out in the exciting next chapter of… CLOWN CORPS.
Woo, big emotional close up panel!
We’ll build a new Clown Corps with blackjack and a renewed commitment to the founding principles of the Clown Corps!
NO!!
UH OH!!!!
Well that’s concerning.
Now Squeaky is free to act as he wants, without the constraints of office.
So, Clown Corps Vigilantes next?
Feel like a wrong move on Burke part.
Sure, maybe he’s trying to make the situation more chaotic by allowing Echo to go ham without the clown corp to oppose her.
but lots of clowns will still try to help people even without being officially clowns. So now he created a decentralized network of highly trained vigilant clown, not held down by regulations, and who have every reasons to believe he is up to no good.
Yeah, he thinks he’s getting rid of them but what he really did was remove them from his control
What’s Echo even opposing now, if the clown corps is officially shut down? Does she keep opposing the city and become the Mayor’s rival by default?
Well, she’s got my vote.
“ECHO FOR MAYOR-SHE KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE.”
Aren’t the clown corps still the firefighters? What’s pinfall gonna do if there’s a cat in a tree? What if the cat in the tree is an arsonist?

I’m sure Burke is going somewhere with this. Because I am also going somewhere with this. Please be patient as the little man and I cook our terrible stew.

Poor Goth Clown 🙁
TIME TO GO ROGUE
So, the mayor can put the whole comic on hiatus. That’s some serious 4th-wall powers.
My Clown Corps: Vigilantes.
