Hank does not have. Writer Norm Hiscock told MEL Magazine that "Bobby was a sensitive boy who was open to things, whereas Hank was more close-minded, so Bobby would drive him crazy. It was always a nice mash-up. That, for me, was the heart of King of the Hill." Age Bobby's age progresses throughout the series. He starts out aged 11, turns 12 in "Shins of the Father" (the episode came out in 1997, putting his birthdate in 1985), turns 13 in "I Don't Want To Wait For Our Lives To Be Over", and is aged 13 for the rest of the series. Reception and analysis The London Free Press states that he "arguably was the most interesting, complex and in some ways 'real' kid in TV." In their book Abnormal Child Psychology, authors Eric J. Mash and David Allen Wolfe discussed the misconception that eating sugar contributes to ADD. Certain media portrayals, including the events surrounding Bobby in the episode "Peggy's Turtle Song", are noted. In the book People of the Century by CBS News, they described Bobby as the "anti-Bart" (referring to Bart Simpson) while discussing how other characters have tried to "claim Bart's place of honor." Voice actress Pamela Adlon received positive reception for her portrayal of Bobby. She received an Emmy for her role in the episode "Bobby Goes Nuts", the only performer in the series to have won one for their role. IGN editor Talmadge Blevins quotes a line spoken by Bobby, "That's my purse! I don't know you!", describing it as one of the "most memorable lines ever uttered on television." In 2002, TV Guide ranked Bobby Hill number 48 on its "50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time" list.
