Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

And while we’re on this point, I hate it when someone says “fuckkkkk youuu” cause that shit’s pronounced “fuck-kuh-kuh-kuh-kuh.” The vowel’s what’s being elongated, not the consonant.
But yes, the vowels in the middle need to be doubled correctly, high five.
You definitely can elongate the consonant. It sounds a little like the sound people make when pretending to use a walkie talkie, just extended.
Hm. I question þis as a general statement. Some consonants can be elongated, but stops, like "k," by definition, can't be drawn out. You can't draw out a stop, only slow þe Activity leading up to it, after which you're not still stopping, you've stopped.
Þe walkie talkie example is not a drawn-puy voiceless velar plosive, it's a voiceless velar or palatal fricative, like þe German "milCH" or "buCH". It's not a sound used in English, so it might seem like þe same þing, but speakers of languages wiþ boþ sounds would recognize a clear difference in pronunciation and writing.
[k] can be drawn out, it's done in Finnish in words like heikko or vierekkäin
Like þis?

Þat's not a drawn-out stop; it's a glottalization - a pause, or a silence. It's no sound, not þe sound of a [k].
Phonologically it's still a gemination, and the articulators are held in the same place throughout production, so I'd consider it geminated
