Greenest Cartoon Characters: Hank Hill

King of the Hill's patriarch (or so he likes to think) is a straight-talkin', level-headed, no-nonsense fellow. His passion in life is his business: selling propane and propane accessories at Strickland Propane, a fact that he manages to slip into almost every conversation. As well he should: propane is on the EPA's list of federally-approved clean-burning fuels, as it's nontoxic and nonpoisonous.

Hank's also a staunch advocate of locally-owned businesses, and is opposed to the local "Mega Lo Mart" and all it stands for. Often during the show, Hank must defend Strickland Propane in the face of Mega Lo Mart's rapid expansion and lack of morally sound business practices. Hank may be a little uptight, and he may still rock the flat-top, but he stands by his convictions, and for that, we applaud him.
