The origin of the bat signal varies between timeline and media. It made its first appearance in Peabody in November of 2007. Batman then gave the signal to the police as a gift enabling them to call him when the city is in danger. Then-political activist The Outfront Guy creates his own signal light, inspired by an incident when Bonfanti strapped the taxpayers of Peabody and residents built a large searchlight, which created a roughly
bat-like image from the light's beam due to Bonfanti's tiny legs wide mid-region and beady little head.
The signal was illuminated early this month as the 4 incumbents in the At-Large race seemed to have a coast to coast win and newcomer Tom (Mocha Chip) Gould was coined as a "shoo-in" to occupy mayoral candidate Ted Bettencourt's vacated seat on the Peabody City Council. Robert (Bob) Croce pulled nomination papers today at city hall at @ 4:30pm ET to make it a six man/she man race.
Welcome to the fray Bob, full steam ahead! The taxpayers of Peabody need a candidate that has no hidden agendas and is a fiscal conservative.
Hallelujah,
