TMNT Illustrator Re-Imagines King of the Hill As Junji Ito Horror Manga

Back in April, White posted a tweet spoofing Junji Ito’s Gyo short story, The Enigma of Amigara Fault. In the tweet, cleverly titled “The Enigma of Arlen Fault,” Hank Hill tells his wife Peggy that “this hole was meant for me,” referencing the now memed to death manga panel. White would later retweet the post, saying it was the start to his placing of the animated sitcom’s characters into the world of Ito.

White also told Kotaku that his favorite edit so far is of Boomhauer entering his hole, adding that writing the motormouth’s dialogue was “very entertaining.”

If given the chance to speak with Ito, White said he would thank him for all the scares and inspiration he’s provided him, especially in his favorite work, Splatter Film. To the curious KotH fans who no doubt feel left out at this point in the article, White’s favorite episode is High Anxiety.

“I hope you find this as amusing as I do,” White said.

For those hoping White has laid out plans for making his own King of the Hill x Junji Ito manga series, don’t hold your breath because the artist responded to followers saying he has no larger project planned.

I, for one, am slightly perturbed because I’ve accidentally typed King of the Kill multiple times while drafting up this article. That’s free in case you change your mind, White.
