This is an old revision of the document!
King Of The Hill Notes
Just keeping some stuff straight…and gay.
- 84.372 is Dale's pirate radio station, “Gribble Talk”
- Dale listens to a couple of 50's songs
- “I Fought The Law” by The Bobby Fuller Four in Soldier of Misfortune Season 6, Episode 2
- “Under The Boardwalk” by The Drifters in Father of the Bribe, Season 6, Episode 5
- Draw Dale's teeth either big and white and fucked up cuz he has veneers, or really fucked up and yellow cuz he smokes.
- Dale regularly bakes. Macaroons in gun club election episode. Mentioned in olympic torch episode. He also has makes films of Nancy.
- Bobby calls out Hank for being uptight all the time because if he lets himself feel good he'll be punished, like his football injury after showboating
- Get screenshots of Dale as Hank's “loyal towel manager”… You excreting, me absorbing…
- “My oral fixation!!!” Bobby leading dale with the cigarette…
- Dale shares a birthday with Van Cliburn: july 12th.
I'm working on a Nancy/Dale/John playlist:
It's full of songs that shocked me cuz the lyrics are so explicit about your baby girl cheating but also the dude just crying instead of being mad. And also songs from Radio Gribble :) Will keep adding as I hear more things that remind me of Them… and also songs that Dale listens to or sings in the show!
KOTH hair
I am diagnosing the King of The Hill alley boys's hair, because I drew some 70's Dale/Hank and need good reference.
Old Web Nostalgia
Copy/pasted this from my fedi account, cuz I posted it unlisted but it got too much shares for my liking :P I do wish there was an option to disable shares for public and unlisted posts!
Summary: I have fond memories of some of the late 90's/early 2000's internet, but I'm glad we've made SOME sort of social progress in 2025. Some people just think old web was all good though, and everything about the current internet sucks. Those people may not have been on the receiving end of the meaner aspects of that time. Lots has changed (censorship and surveillance as EVERYONE is on the internet now vs a smaller subculture back then), and lots (cyberbullies, random people getting fixated on you to the point of e-harassment) hasn't.
⚠️ There will be mention of bigotry like homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc. I will paraphrase bigoted language.

Dale Gribble's Playlist
We don't get to see much of Dale's taste in music, compared to John Redcorn's obvious taste in classic rock. So we must interpret and headcanon what Dale's favored music would be like! And like many good things, this begins with a fic rec.
