Kangaroos?
Lifted the following ornamental letter from a very cool website entitled BibliOdyssey, which claims that it's "by Napoléon Landais from either his 'Dictionnaire Général et Grammatical des Dictionnaires Français' (1834) or his 'Petit Dictionnaire Français Portatif' (1840)"

K's in Crosswords
Here are two of my favorite grids from recent years - both K-related. The first (by Patrick Merrell) has the answer 10K RACES, but all ten K's are written out, creating the only puzzle I know of with 10 consecutive K's in it:
What's more awesome is that the grid contains a whopping 8 additional K's, bringing the grand total to 18, which must be some kind of record. The next grid is more modest, but still K-tastic. It's by "K"evin Der. I like that it has 11 K's, and that "K" is the 11th letter of the alphabet. Coincidence? Actually, I'm not sure. Kevin tends to know what he's doing:
