What is K&K?
The term "K&K" came about simply because it was easier to
type than repeating "Kit and Karnage" all the time when
you're discussing the respective characters.
The term quickly became familiar
among the TaleSpin fans on the Internet, as did the slogan it
formed when "Forever" was added to it.
Although K&K stands for the two characters' names,
for the context of this site "K&K" is actually as much of a what as it is a who. It represents
a concept; that is, it represents not only the characters as persons,
but their relationship itself.
TaleSpin, in its 65-episode run, didn't conspicuously reveal
much about K&K, but it left hints and clues all over the place that
show a significant bond between the two
as mentor and protege, even father and son.
Why K&K?
Kit was an air pirate for a year, under Don Karnage's
wing, before he ever lived at Higher for Hire. To
overlook the significance of this concept, even though
it took place in TaleSpin's "past," is a high injustice
to the depths of both Kit & Karnage's character, because it
speaks volumes about who they are.
Can you imagine Karnage as Kit's best friend... and parent?
Or Kit loving the swashbuckling life of plundering
pirate? Whether you find these notions ludicrous
or they're something you've always dreamed of, I
invite you to explore, think upon, and enjoy
the muses and explanations this site has to offer.
