    That was my first guess, but when I sounded out the words as spelled it didn’t sound very… tongue-y. Maybe I’m not hearing it right.

    Edit: you don’t even use your tongue to make the K sound 🤔

      You do use it. You need to press your tongue to the roof of your mouth to make a k sound.

      This happens close to the back of your mouth where the molars are…

      I almost think I do!
      …And the comic is more about the character being lispy.

        Someone else pointed out the use of the tongue for the K sound.

        I used to have a lisp that I took speech therapy for, it definitely didn’t sound like I was putting K in everything, but maybe the artist hears it differently than I do
