Hank doesn't look like a boomer anymore. Cotton does. Boomers are 70+ year olds now. Weird.

Hank is also mostly a product of his environment, yet a caring father that accepts his family for who they are. If all boomers were like Hank Hill, we'd all be happy.

I wouldn't say he fully accepts Bobby given that he often remarks "that boy ain't right "

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Well, he ain't.

It mostly comes from a point of not understanding Bobby. That boy might not be right in his eyes but he loves and supports him. Even if he should know more about propane and propane accessories.

That’s the situation for all of us: we are products of our environment, then we get to make some choices.

I'm 59; born in 1964. Unfortunately, I was born in the last year of the Boomers.

Only shame in being an asshole

There’s no shame in being shameless

King of the Hill started in 1997, Hank is 41, that means he would have been born in 1956 of the series is taking place at the same time it started (there's a millennium episode so that pretty much confirms it), it's just an issue of characters not aging in animated series.

I think that's what the person above was saying... it's just funny that boomers now are actually Cotton's age.
