Hank Hill (third from right) in his brief appearance in "
Bart Star".
Hank Hill is one of the main characters from the animated series King of the Hill, which was co-created by former Simpsons writer Greg Daniels. In King of the Hill he is voiced by Mike Judge and proudly sells "propane and propane accessories" as the assistant manager at Strickland Propane.
In The Simpsons, Hill briefly appeared in the episode "Bart Star". In the episode, Bart's football team plays a team from Arlen, Hill's hometown. After the game, the camera cuts to Hill, who says "we came 2000 miles for this?" Several other King of the Hill characters can be seen, including Peggy, Bobby, Luanne, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer.
