Professional exterminator and licensed semi-professional bounty hunter Dale Gribble has dedicated his life to unraveling alien conspiracies. He never thought he would end up in one. Then one day, on what he thought was just another routine fumigation job, he suddenly finds himself transported to a pastel-tinted alien world of talking miniature horses.
Now marooned on the far-off planet of Equestria, Dale must adapt to life in this strange new world. With the help of a mysterious alien creature who calls herself Sweetie Belle, Dale learns to navigate the complexities of cutie marks and friendship... and in the process unearths a terrifying conspiracy that threatens to shake Equestria to its very core.
This is a HiE crossover between King of the Hill and MLP:FiM. It is based on an old greentext I wrote eons ago.
This is immediately going in Tracking. Holy shit.
Wonderful. A true KOTH classic for the ages
Edit: I wish I could like this twice. You got Dale down to a science. I love it.
God this is gonna be good
Funny chapter, keep it up!
Grand. You're killing me, mate.
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sha!
Perhaps one of the best beginnings in this genre.
It's not chaotic enough for a trinket, but it's also not serious enough to ruin the whole mood.
I'm waiting for the next chapter!
Yes, yes, YES.
Update soon please
Salutations!
Well, that's something I'd never have thought of - a crossover between KotH and MLP? Wild idea. Fantastic choice of character in Dale. I look forward to his enduring quest for a source of nicotine.

Calling it now. John Redcorn or the US Government is going to be behind the conspiracy against Dale.
Not my personal cup of tea, but as a connoisseur of crossovers, I applaud you for coming up with a crossover I certainly never expected to see. Definitely one of the more unique ones I've seen.
This... is... AWESOME! King of the Hill is one of my all-time favorite shows. The fact that this is told from Dale's PoV is even more awesome. It's extremely well-written, too! I'll definitely be tracking this.
This amazingly managed to steer wide of every bad trope involved
Damn! I almost spit and choke when I read this line.
You really captured the spirit of Dale as a character, making this work an instant must read.
Well then, this should be interesting...

Damn, even in a passing thought, John is hoeing Dale.
After reading this, all I can think about is the opening to KOTH with ponies doing their usual antics.
I read this in Dale's voice. It felt... right.
Wake up babe, new peak MLP crossover fic just dropped
I am here for this!
wait till Dale learns the Ponies dont have smokes. Or Alamo beer.
peak fiction incoming
Dale in Equestria... Discord, what have you done?!!
As Dale is my favorite KOTH character, I am happy to see you really captured his “Gribbleisms.” I am happy to like and favorite this story.
Want to give a shoutout to Johnny Hardwick, Dale’s voice actor who passed away last year.
RIP Johnny Hardwick (1958-2023)
I've never watched King of the Hill, but I like how this story is laid out. Consider me interested.
I wonder what Hank's thinking at the moment, probably something along the lines of:
"Damnit Dale, you giblet head! What have you done now?"
This is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for gracing the internet with your talent.

Wow lol, I think this is the highest number of comments and likes I've ever received.
Thanks to everyone who is enjoying the story, I'm glad you all like it. I should have a new chapter up shortly.
“Then, I remembered that I didn't actually have an emergency cyanide pill.” Oh Dale you rascal!
Oh cool, I haven’t seen this cross over yet. Keep it up!
We like to laugh at Dale's "antics", but let's not forget that when he gets unstable, he can be truly dangerous to those around him. So, smart of Apple Bloom to call on the adults so they can deal with a Dale in nicotine withdrawal.
12004225 HA! He's still an AMATEUR conspiracy nut! We TRUE MASTERS know how to manufacture our OWN cyanide pills! As if we'd trust one ordered through the mail! The CIA would replace it with a sugar pill, since they run the Post Office!
This is proceeding just as it should
this sounds like a good start to a story.
i will be keeping my eye on this one;

So that's why the mail has been sucking so bad lately.
Another awesome chapter.
I love Dale
We love Dale
Dale loves us

A great chapter!
It seems King of The Hill is returning to the public consciousness
His name is very ponish,,,😆
This is going to end up at Zecora’s Hut I just know it, she’ll definitely have smokes.
I've always wondered that, myself...

Don’t worry, Rusty. Twilight will get you some smokes.
HAHAHA!
Even if a strange evil cabal did existed, they would deem Dale beneath their notice.
