Biography
"They tells me not to, but I still drinks it!" -The King of Town
The King of Town is the de-facto ruler of Free Country, U.S.A. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. He lives in a castle, and The Cheat lives in his grill. He is not very cool. He realizes this, but still tries to be as cool as he can, which he fails at most of the time. One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him, including (but not limited to) an entire flock of sheep, a tub of Strong Bad's cocoa butter, and the candy corn Halloween lights on the side of Marzipan's house (hence the power surge in '3 Times Halloween Fun Job'). However, he's not too fond of peas or poop. Apparently his very favorite food is Butter (according to the King game, the house that gave sucky treats, et al). He is the present owner of Tandy 400. At one time, he was the svelte, young Prince of Town. However, he was fattened after eating all the fishsticks from The Cheat's egg, so now he is a glutton. He got his start with The Poopsmith as the co-star of "The Castlefunnies" and still wasn't funny. His Halloween Costumes over the years: Cap'n Crunch, Hagar the Horrible, Super Mario, The Hamburglar, and The Mayor of Halloweentown (from The Nightmare Before Christmas).

{THE KING OF TOWN is visible standing in a field. The corner of his castle is visible on the side of the screen. One of his sheep stands behind him}
THE KING OF TOWN: Hello, my loyal subjects. I am The King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me The King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle {motions to his castle}, and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I do not care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. {picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}.
