Splatoon Art Imagines Bobby Hill Inkling

Splatoon 3's plaza is full of new fan art, and King of the Hill's Bobby Hill has made an appearance. A player looked to the iconic 1990s and 2000s cartoon for inspiration and has shared something the community is thrilled with.

Splatoon 3 has seen many improvements over its predecessor, but the ability to upload images for the chance of them being seen in the plaza is something that's been around since the series' inception. Those who sent out Splatoon-themed images and messages via the game's mailbox have a chance of them appearing in the plaza, either as a message over their playable character's head, or as graffiti or posters throughout the square.

This is what one player did when they created a funny piece of King of the Hill andSplatoon mash-up fanart, which has been noticed and re-shared by the game's community. Splatoon 3 player and Twitter user NightlineZ uploaded an image showing Bobby Hill as an Inkling, wearing the original hairstyle from the first Splatoon game, complete with the eye coloring and pointy ears of Inklings, yelling «That's my turf, I don't know you!» Bobby Hill was always a playful and imaginative character who enjoyed video games, so it's not hard to imagine him playing Splatoon.

The post is a play on one of the iconic episodes of the original series, in which Bobby Hill tries to take self-defense classes and ends up learning how defend himself in a women's course, complete with the line «That's my purse, I don't know you!» It's a great match-up, since the point of Splatoon 3's turf wars is to cover the area with ink and then defend it from other players who attempt to cover it with their own
