From here down is a series of quotes from various easily found web info.
Mide Judge went to Highland High in Albuquerque. Beavis and Butthead go to
Highland High.
I just told someone the story of Captain Billy getting shot at the TV studio
last month! And I find this guy remembering it the same way. Captain Billy
was involved with raising money for the Heart association. The woman in
charge of that got too friendly. Her husband came to the studio where
Captain Billy worked and shot him, before the show one day. I didn't see the
show that day, but heard about it the next day. I don't remember hearing how
they station handled that first day. I'm guessing they just ran half an hour
of solid cartoons. [Anyone else here remember Captain Billy's show on
KGGM/13? Sponsored by Toys by Roy, in Winrock Mall.]
Same guy who created and does all the crazy voices for King of the Hill wrote
and did voices for Beavis and Butt-Head. I haven't watched tons of that, but
I've seen the movie and a few episodes, and we own a Halloween episode with
the immortal line "You cannot run from your own bunghole."
(and finally now the quotes start)
"Creator Mike Judge has said he decided to wind down the show to concentrate
on King of the Hill, his Fox TV animated series about Hank Hill and family in
the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas. "

phenomena Beavis and Butthead. His current creation is the Fox series King of
the Hill, where he provides the voice for main character, Hank. He’s also the
writer, director and producer of the cult movie Office Space. A self-taught
animator with a physics degree, Kraft talks about animation and comedy. King
of the Hill is an Emmy nominated series nearing its 100th episode next week.>>
<<When I was in high school, I used to draw these pictures of somebody
screaming and running towards the camera. I got picked on a lot when I was at
school. They ussed to mek ssport of me," Judge cackles in perfect Billy-Bob
Thornton, Southern in-breed. He's superb at voices; he does almost all the
male characters in the show. For a while, you find yourself amazed at his
facility for imitating them, until you remember that he invented them.
I was kind of a skinny little kid. I used to draw pictures of what ended up
being Butt-head swinging the bat at Beavis's head.
Mike Judge now works out of a neat mini-studio in Austin Texas, from which
he supervises the New York production team and records the show's dialogue.
He is 34, balding, amiable and slyly amusing company. He has spent most of
his life in the kind of Southern suburbs portrayed with such flat accuracy in
Beavis and Butt-head's home town of Highland.
I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico and lived in Dallas. I always think of
Highland as West Texas or East New Mexico. I've always had that fascination
with suburbia. It's not like I just like to make fun of it from my ivory
tower. I actually like suburban areas. Even when I was a kid - jeez, from the
first time I can remember writing something for school. It was about this guy
who did these really horrible commercials on local TV, this fat guy with this
slew of fences behind him - 'I'm George Martinez for thee Albuquerque Fence
Qompanee. For strong doorable fenceeng please call four-five-seex
nine-seex-three-seex.' I wrote about what George's life was like, and I was
really proud of it. The teacher never gave it back. I don't think he read
those things or anything, just threw them away.
With this kind of encouragement, it's no wonder young Mike went on to become
an electrical engineer.

BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD creator Mike Judge remembers watching Looney Toons as a
kid.
"There was a show in Albuquerque called Captain Billy," Judge recalls. "He
was a local guy and he'd show cartoons and you'd go there for your birthday
and he got shot because he was fooling around with someone else's wife. I
remember my mom trying to explain it to me. I was asking her, 'Why did he get
shot?' And she goes, 'Maybe he was just hugging her to say, "good job," and
someone walked in and saw it and shot him.' "
