That appears to be Mayor James Mayor in the upper right with Tommy and Stan. Mayor Mayor was mayor for much of Scary Go Round, until he was defeated in an election by Tim Jones, Ryan’s brother-in-law and childhood friend.
Tim later lost a mad science duel to rival Dai Davies, after his girlfriend (later wife) Riley, Ryan’s little sister, sabotaged his effort, and Davies cheated, and so Tim was exiled to Wales, while Davies took over as mayor.
Shortly thereafter, the mad science formula Davies had invented and used on himself caused him to revert to atavism, and Mayor took over the office again.
Mayor Mayor then had a stress-related psychotic break at the Tackleford fair, and, as the superhero “Kid Democrat”, teamed up with a high-on-jam Shelley Winters and an extremely-drunk Mike Savage to rescue Amy from a yokel riding a giant bee. Mike defeated the bee by being stung through the chest, which he survived only because he was so drunk that biology got confused, Shelley got fired from her job at the Cormorant, which she’d foisted off on Amy anyway while she sampled jams, and Mayor Mayor got removed from office again, after which Tackleford was forbidden from having any more mayors.
Tommy’s death, seven years ago, would have been early in the gap between SGR and Bad Machinery.
