Colonel Cotton Lyndal Hill (December 7, 1927-November 11, 2007) was the father of Hank Hill, Good “G.H.” Hank Hill, Junichiro (his illegitimate half-Japanese son), the father-in-law of Peggy Hill, and the grandfather of Bobby Hill.
Cotton was also a WWII veteran who had his shins “blown off by a Japanman’s machine gun” in combat, and later had his feet attached to his knees. He claims he faked his age when he was 14 so he could get enlist in the military when WWII broke out.
That made Cotton a foot shorter than his fellow family members and caused a characteristic waddle (according to Hank, Cotton was 6’4″ with his shins, and 5’0″ without)
What were Cotton Hill’s last words?
Cotton replies “Oh, do ya, now?” laughs, and then dies. Peggy does not tell Hank of this exchange; instead, she lies that Cotton’s last words were kind ones meant for Hank.
In the final scene of the episode, Dale Gribble fulfils a request from Cotton to blow up the storage shed Hank has built.
