== Biography ==
 +
'''The King of Town''', middle name [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2#Message 6|Wad]] and self-nicknamed the "KOT", is a very rich man and the ''de jure'' ruler of [[Free Country, USA]], though in [[labor day]], [[Strong Bad]] suggests that his title is self-proclaimed. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. His head is completely white with black lines for eyes, a [[mustache]] and a beard, though it was suggested in [[diorama]] that the white is fur or hair, as he has pink flesh underneath. He wears a gold crown and what appears to be a red robe with white trim with [[Lack of Visible Arms|no arms]]. He has been seen in different attire resembling a striped one-piece swimming suit when swimming ([[keep cool]]) and in Strong Bad's amazing feats of wonder ([[retirement]]). When in this suit, it suggests that he has this white fur/hair all over his body.
 +
 
 +
One of the King's main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him, except [[peas]] and [[The Cheat]]. He had a long-standing aversion to [[whatsit]] which finally ended in [[fan club]]. His favorite food is [[butter]], though in [[Homestar Ruiner]], he has a natural love for [[chocolate]], since it is one of his "several hundred culinary weaknesses." As a result of his unhealthy eating habits, he has many, sometimes serious, health problems, as it is the norm for him to have several heart attacks after eating. According to the [[record book]], he is the "least healthiest (man?)". As revealed in the sbemail [[pizza joint]], he spends most of his day calling random numbers in hopes of finding a new restaurant, and has found [[The Pizz]] as a result.

 +
The King employs [[The Poopsmith]] (for personal reasons) and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. Like [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Homsar]], and [[Marzipan]], he also has no [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]], but can handle things as though he does. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60s. He also leads the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]] during the [[Fall Float Parade]]. According to a message he left on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2|Marzipan's answering machine]] and on Strong Bad's answering machine in [[Lappynapped!]], he can play the guitar, and was finally seen doing so in [[Baddest of the Bands]]. Along with [[The Cheat]], he has cut a remix demo called "Not Talkin' About Butter". He also has his very own "[[KOT's VOQPCS!|quite popular cartoon show]]" which, although it was pre-empted in favor of a [[Strong Bad Email]] in [[senior prom]], was shown some time later.  He is also an authorized [[Wikipedia: Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller as seen in [[TrogdorCon '97]].
 +
 
 +
It has become unclear whether the King has royal ancestors from whom he inherited the official honor of "King", or if his title is self-imposed and he simply purchased his crown from the "Costume Palace", as could be interpreted from his character video. In [[original]], [[Strong Bad]] claims that "there've been like twelve King of Towns". An Easter egg at the end of the email shows graves for 11 Kings of Town, including one known as "Onion King of Town", although it is unknown if this is real or imaginary. [[Marzipan]] and [[Bubs]] both claim that [[Strong Bad]] was lying about [[Original Bubs]], who angrily leaves due to the ''current'' King eating the mayo off his egg salad, ([[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] seems to miss Original Bubs, though) so Strong Bad may have been lying about the other Kings of Town as well. It is revealed in [[Strong Badia the Free]] that he hates his job, so much that he tricks [[Strong Bad]] into taking over his castle while getting his [[House of the Brothers Strong|house]]. A short time later in the game, he is tricked into retaking his throne.
 +
 
 +
Although the King wears his crown most of the time, it has been stolen by Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. It has also been worn by Strong Bad when he was on a "regal [[rampage]]", by [[Coach Z]] when he tackled The King while thinking he was going to eat The Cheat in [[Where's The Cheat?]], by The Cheat in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and [[Strong Bad]] took his spare crown in Strong Badia the Free.
 +
 
 +
The King can be heard [[The King of Town Booing|booing]] from time to time, even at himself.
 +
 
 +
In [[Play Date]] it is implied that the King has been married to a bowl of [[Wikipedia:Brunswick stew|Brunswick stew]] for fifty years, referred to by the King as the "dollop of sour cream" anniversary.

== Fun Facts ==
 +
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed the King was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that's not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don't visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn't cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
 +
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline in [[Flash]].
 +
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. Typically one would ''earn'' an item of equal or lesser value by purchasing a different item.
 +
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.
 +
*He was once slim and trim, but according to [[flashback]], may have gotten his weight from the lifetime supply of fishsticks because nobody else would claim them.
 +
*Apparently, the King has a ham for a heart, as shown in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
 +
*When playing the game [[Kid Speedy]] in KOT mode, the King appears to gain energy by eating junk food and [[swear]] words. Although he has exhibited his love of unhealthy food on many occasions, his predilection for foul language is otherwise unknown.
 +
*The King once purchased the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] from [[Bubs]], but was unable to make it run in order to check his emails. He claimed it was "the last time he'll buy a used computer from Bubs". His email address is currently invalid. He also has had an answering machine that claims that he "has no messages...ever", that he has "no friends", and that "nobody likes" him.
 +
*He may have German heritage, due to the fact that his Old-Timey variation is German and he wears a pickelhaube in [[Ever and More!]].
 +
*Though he claims he lives in "yon castle", Strong Bad claims in the [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|commentary]] to [[The King Of Town DVD]] that he actually lives in a run-down two-bedroom home next door to him.
 +
*In the short, [[Donut Unto Others]], it is shown that the King possesses either powers of teleportation or skills as a ninja, as he can appear and dissapear in a flash of smoke without any sign of him, even when standing in an open feild.

Biography

The King of Town, middle name Wad and self-nicknamed the "KOT", is a very rich man and the de jure ruler of Free Country, USA, though in labor day, Strong Bad suggests that his title is self-proclaimed. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. His head is completely white with black lines for eyes, a mustache and a beard, though it was suggested in diorama that the white is fur or hair, as he has pink flesh underneath. He wears a gold crown and what appears to be a red robe with white trim with no arms. He has been seen in different attire resembling a striped one-piece swimming suit when swimming (keep cool) and in Strong Bad's amazing feats of wonder (retirement). When in this suit, it suggests that he has this white fur/hair all over his body.

One of the King's main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him, except peas and The Cheat. He had a long-standing aversion to whatsit which finally ended in fan club. His favorite food is butter, though in Homestar Ruiner, he has a natural love for chocolate, since it is one of his "several hundred culinary weaknesses." As a result of his unhealthy eating habits, he has many, sometimes serious, health problems, as it is the norm for him to have several heart attacks after eating. According to the record book, he is the "least healthiest (man?)". As revealed in the sbemail pizza joint, he spends most of his day calling random numbers in hopes of finding a new restaurant, and has found The Pizz as a result.

Do I smell 3D?

The King employs The Poopsmith (for personal reasons) and a few other characters. Like Homestar, Homsar, and Marzipan, he also has no visible arms, but can handle things as though he does. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60s. He also leads the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band during the Fall Float Parade. According to a message he left on Marzipan's answering machine and on Strong Bad's answering machine in Lappynapped!, he can play the guitar, and was finally seen doing so in Baddest of the Bands. Along with The Cheat, he has cut a remix demo called "Not Talkin' About Butter". He also has his very own "quite popular cartoon show" which, although it was pre-empted in favor of a Strong Bad Email in senior prom, was shown some time later. He is also an authorized Godzilla reseller as seen in TrogdorCon '97.

It has become unclear whether the King has royal ancestors from whom he inherited the official honor of "King", or if his title is self-imposed and he simply purchased his crown from the "Costume Palace", as could be interpreted from his character video. In original, Strong Bad claims that "there've been like twelve King of Towns". An Easter egg at the end of the email shows graves for 11 Kings of Town, including one known as "Onion King of Town", although it is unknown if this is real or imaginary. Marzipan and Bubs both claim that Strong Bad was lying about Original Bubs, who angrily leaves due to the current King eating the mayo off his egg salad, (Homestar seems to miss Original Bubs, though) so Strong Bad may have been lying about the other Kings of Town as well. It is revealed in Strong Badia the Free that he hates his job, so much that he tricks Strong Bad into taking over his castle while getting his house. A short time later in the game, he is tricked into retaking his throne.

Although the King wears his crown most of the time, it has been stolen by Strong Bad and The Cheat in Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. It has also been worn by Strong Bad when he was on a "regal rampage", by Coach Z when he tackled The King while thinking he was going to eat The Cheat in Where's The Cheat?, by The Cheat in Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon, and Strong Bad took his spare crown in Strong Badia the Free.

The King can be heard booing from time to time, even at himself.

In Play Date it is implied that the King has been married to a bowl of Brunswick stew for fifty years, referred to by the King as the "dollop of sour cream" anniversary.

Character Video Transcript

See main article: The King of Town's Character Video

{The King of Town is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}

THE KING OF TOWN: Hello, my loyal subjects. I am the King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. {holds up a bowl momentarily} Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me the King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle {gives a nod to his castle}, and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. {picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}
