Mayor McCheese
|
Mayor McCheese is the mayor of the fictional McDonaldland, created for an advertising narrative for the McDonald's fast food chain. He has an enormous cheeseburger for a head, and sports a top hat, diplomat's sash and monocle. His Chief of Police is Big Mac.
In 1973, courts sided with Sid and Marty Krofft that McCheese bore too close a resemblance to H.R. Pufnstuf, and that all the other McDonaldland residents were plagiarism as well.
He has largely been phased out of the McDonaldland canon in recent years, though he remains a popular 70's pop culture icon.
