Todd McGovern

Oh, why do we kid ourselves? There's no gophers. There never was.
 -Todd McGovern, "Gooseman Runs for Office"
Todd McGovern is a minor character in the Greasy Moose universe. As of 2023, he is an esteemed "gopher baron," drug dealer, and possibly addict. He particularly trades in Mexican Crazy Beans.
== Biography ==
Todd McGovern used to work in a Gopher Farm alongside Fernando to work against Pierce Sexington, III and his Crab Juice Factory. At that time, Sexington and McGovern were bitter rivals, with McGovern being the superior man. 
The 2005 short Horseman: Squid Dance identifies McGovern's arch enemy as Horseman. He once had a girlfriend, but she broke up with him when she discovered the squid Horseman planted in his mailbox. As a result, McGovern fought Horseman, but lost when Horseman used his Super Squid Cannon attack (which was just Horseman throwing a squid to McGovern's face).Horseman: Squid Dance, 2005
He returned recently when Fernando, Hernando, and Randy plot to steal his chimp filled with "blow". He is attacked when Fernando throws a crate of cobras to his face and is presumed dead or at least unconscious with numerous snake bites to the face. McGovern, like Horseman, can fire energy bursts from his armsand legs.
Despite Fernando's 2011 attack, McGovern hired Fernando as an unpaid assistant at McGovern's Gophers.Gooseman Runs for Office, 2023. They worked together for 7 years by 2023, meaning he hired Fernando around 2016.
In 2023, McGovern returned in "Gooseman Runs for Office." Grizzly news anchor Todd McSwain described him as a successful "gopher baron" and it is evident he is also a drug dealer of illicit Mexican Crazy Beans. He hurt Gooseman's campaign by disclosing Gooseman's heavy involvement with human organ trafficking, an allegation that is true (for example, in the 2005 "Mooselove" short, Gooseman murdered Manny to harvest and sell his organs on the black market).Mooselove, 2005
Upon learning that Gooseman intended to legalize Crazy Beans, McGovern retracted his claims. He assisted Gooseman's campaign with a front-page interview with Friday News wherein he claimed Gooseman is "not a murderer."Gooseman Runs for Office, 2023.
