Earl

The Mayor of Sparksville is a character who appears in Tourist Trap. He (as well as the rest of the residents of Sparksville) is aware of the existance of the alien species, Megawhatt however he scoffs at the idea their aliens (stating apatheticly "Well, that just crazy talk." when it is suggested by Gwen), instead believeing that their either "lightning come to life" or "static cling run a muck" (despite the fact that his idea are more ridiculus than the idea their an alien). However he appears quite knowledgeable about them (it is suggested he was the one responsible for imprisoning them in a the world's largest rubberband ball). After the Megawatt escape from their rubberband ball prison, he tasks Ben & the Tennysons with recapturing them (as Ben was the one who accidentally released them). Ben manages to recapture them in the world's largest fishbowl adapted into a makeshift prison. The mayor has it converted into a light bulb, to replacing the "World's Largest Rubberband Ball" with the towns newest attraction "World's Largest light bulb".
