‘King of the Hill’ Fans Raise Concerns About Peggy’s Feet in the Revival

Peggy’s famously large feet look oddly normal in the intro sequence
‘King of the Hill’ Fans Raise Concerns About Peggy’s Feet in the Revival

Every Peggy Hill has a prodigious pair of stompers. After all, Grant Trimble doesn’t shell out for “educational videos” featuring size eights.  

This August 4th, King of the Hill will return with brand new episodes on Hulu as Hank and Peggy move back to Arlen following an extended stay in Saudi Arabia for a peculiar propane job. As creators Greg Daniels have been saying since the streamer first greenlit new seasons of King of the Hill, the show will diegetically address the time-jump since the show’s original finale, “To Sirloin with Love,” back in 2009, aging up the characters and explaining what exactly happened during the 16-year gap.  

Apparently, as some King of the Hill fans in the subreddit pointed out, Peggy spent some of that hiatus undergoing an experimental foot-shrinking procedure, as her previously towering trotters now appear to be preposterously average.  

In a post on the King of the Hill subreddit titled, “Did.…Did Peggy Get Foot Reduction Surgery in Saudi Arabia??” Ne0nHelix showed a screen capture from the recently released intro sequence for the King of the Hill revival showing Peggys feet to be perfectly proportional to the rest of her body, if not a little small for her frame. Seeing as Peggy canonically wears a size 16 shoe (on her right foot, the left one needs a 16½), the image of Peggy and Hank with slightly gaunt, lightly aged faces was less shocking to the superfans than the appearance of a pair of slip-ons that couldnt be bigger than size eight.  

As other King of the Hill fans noted, Peggys diminutive dogs in the intro sequence may not be canonical, but they are in line with the design rules of the King of the Hill universe. Even though the show established Peggys insecurities about her giant feet in numerous plot lines, whenever the episode isnt focused on her shoe size, as was the case in Season Fours Transnational Amusements Presents: Peggys Magic Sex Feet, the animators draw Peggys feet as perfectly normal, so as to not draw attention to them and make her model look disproportionate.  

So, no, Hulu didnt break any of King of the Hills rules about character design when it made the revival seasons — at least, not that weve seen so far. Hopefully, when Hank returns to our screens on August 4th, he wont show up looking like hes had a BBL.
