I once remembered that baby alligators tend to make little ray gun sounds and then wondered if K. Rool or any other Kremling as a baby did the same thing because it's SO CUTE
Also there's kind of a story to this drawing that's based on my own little headcanon. The story is that K. Rool loved to pretend to be a prince/king (even though he wasn't actually one at all), so he'd usually dress up in his own little hand-crafted crown and cape. This obsession grew once he found that crown he wears to this day. And then sometime later when he got older, he proved to be powerful or something, so he labeled himself an actual king without question of the other Kremlings out of fear. Haven't worked through the whole story entirely yet, but that's all I got for now.
