Good night sweet prince

Cotton Hill’s obituary, Arlen Bystander (Arlen, TX): Cotton Hill, age unknown, World War II veteran, died Sunday in a Texas VA hospital. Hill suffered from several injuries ranging from four rusty bullets lodged in his heart from his military service, a broken hip and torn ligaments in his ankle-knees, to an infection in his esophagus and severe burns caused by a freak shrimp accident that occurred earlier this week at Tokyaki’s Japanese restaurant. Hill leaves behind sons Hank Hill and G.H. (short for “Good Hank”); daughter-in-law Peggy Hill; grandson Bobby Hill; ex-wife Tilly; second wife Didi; first love and former Japanese lover Michiko; an illegitimate Japanese son, Junichiro; and nephew Dusty Hill (of band ZZ Top).

Gone but not forgotten.

Col. Cotton Hill, American

Confused and dumbfounded

That is exactly how I feel now that Col. Hill is no longer with us. Despite being a fictional cartoon character, he remains a noble American hero and his loss will be felt for years to come. He was a man's man in a world of sissy shacks and he will be sorely missed in these times of crisis. What other man could kill 50 Tojos, only use matches from a strip club in Houston, and advocate celebrating Angie Dickinson's birthday as a national holiday?

In his honor, when I die I want someone to cut off my head and deliver it to the Tojo Emperor.
