John Redcorn

And I, I, I am just so proud that we've been able to do what we've done.

I'm going to tell you one thing we, um, We had the last interview ever with John Redcorn, Jonathan Joss.

And that, I believe, brought us into the fold a little bit.

But it was an amazing interview, number one.

So whenever you do something like that, are you giving them like three or four different versions of the character that they have to choose from? Or do you just do one and they say, fix this?

Usually it's one and fix this.

coming up with certain characters like I remember when we were designing John Redcorn and Joseph yeah DD Cotton's wife that was mostly Clay Hall for DD but we would take a couple passes and and also I remember when we were designing bill like at first I we were doing him and I was drawing him with more of kind of like the shell shocked, you know, starey eye.

Yeah.

I don't know if that has anything to do with this.

Like John Redcorn?

You look like red corn.

It was kind of like a big headdress.

But for years, Dale doesn't recognize the most obvious secret in Arlen.

John Redcorn is Joseph's biological father.

That's not just one long joke about a stupid man.

Dale's conspiracies were never designed to reveal the truth.

It's the people in the alley.

That's why the biggest secret in his life can survive for so, so long.

Nancy's affair with John Redcorn is obvious to almost everybody.

Joseph looks like John Redcorn.

...

they just did this episode Nancy's Boys, which is the episode where she falls back in love with Dale and decides to break it off with John Redcorn.

And it is really interesting to think about how, like, if you're only doing 10 episodes of King of the Hill, you're not getting a Nancy episode.

Yeah.

You're not getting a John Redcorn episode.

Yeah.

And that's too bad because those episodes allow the writers to do something really interesting with an underdeveloped character-

Yeah.

Uh, I don't know if you've seen the new season, Artie, but the last episode that we watched, uh, John Redcorn rides off into the sunset.

I think that might be the end of John Redcorn for King of the Hill

I think it might be also, yeah.

Good news, Peggy Accommodations? Oh.

all just being like, I don't know what you're talking about.

Like John Redcorn's kid on King of

the Hill.

He's surprisingly good at catching things.
