Killing time in an antique store often leads to unexpected treasures, and this morning's find did not disappoint. Two old paintings of beloved characters Hank and Peggy Hill from the iconic show "King of the Hill" were discovered, sparking joy and nostalgia among fans.

The antique store featured a section with various neatly displayed items. In the top left corner, a table lamp with a dark, reflective base and a large grayish lampshade sat atop a wooden cabinet. The dark wood cabinet had glass doors and shelves, showcasing several crystal items, including wine glasses, a decanter, and other crystal glassware, all with small white price tags.

To the right of the cabinet, hanging on a pegboard wall, were two framed portraits that caught everyone's attention. The top portrait featured a woman with short, curly black hair wearing a white blouse with a collar. The bottom portrait depicted a man with short, dark hair, glasses, and a striped shirt. These portraits, resembling Hank and Peggy Hill, brought back fond memories for many.

In front of the cabinet, a small table or display area held more items, such as a tall, brownish bottle with a blue ribbon around the neck and a small orange pumpkin. Price tags and small signs with handwritten text adorned many displayed items. One notable tag hanging from the cabinet read, "Booth PA46 20% Off Sale."

Reactions to these paintings were overwhelmingly positive. One user commented, "Those are some pretty good paintings, I'll tell you hwat," while another expressed, "I would have bought those! I love them." "I hope you bought them!" added another enthusiast. The nostalgia was palpable, with comments like "Oh mah Gawd! Peggy!" and "Dang it Bobby! Boys can’t be supermodels!" referencing memorable quotes from the show.

Some even speculated about the future value of these paintings, with one user saying, "In a 100 years these will be on The Antique Roadshow." There were also humorous comments like, "Hank lost a bet and had to wear Peggy’s glasses," and "Too bad you couldn't buy them and put one up in the local Propane Store and label it 'Top Salesman of the Quarter,' and take the other to the local High School and label it 'Substitute Spanish Teacher of the Year.'"

The discovery of these portraits has rekindled the desire for a reboot of the show, with fans eagerly wanting to see a grown-up Bobby Hill. "Where's the damn reboot? I want to see teenager Bobby already," one comment read. This find has also sparked cravings for classic Texan snacks, as one user mentioned, "I just got a hankering for Frito-pie with Wolf Brand Chili."

Though there were no pictures of propane accessories, the antique store's display was nothing short of delightful. From the organized crystal items to the intriguing portraits of Hank and Peggy Hill, this morning's visit was a trip down memory lane for many fans of the show.

For those who love nostalgic finds and are die-hard "King of the Hill" fans, visiting antique stores might just lead to discovering hidden treasures like these charming portraits.
