I like the show but there’s this undercurrent in Hank, like, he’s never truly happy. Mainly because Peggy doesn’t stay in the kitchen and his kid is a weirdo. He loves them and takes care of them because “that’s what you do” but he rarely takes joy in it. He’s ubertraditional stuck with wildcards. The older I get the more I see Hank as the hapless conservative stuck in a liberal world. Got dangit, he’s just trying to live the heteronormative dream.

On the other hand the way they ended the Cotton storyline because, yeah, that horrible man did a number on Hank so it explains a lot of his behavior which for a throwaway animated sitcom is really quite extraordinary.
