      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…

          Huh, fair enough.

          I still don’t associate the tongue with a K sound 😅 a lisp I feel would make more sense

        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
