[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon (at least pseudo-Klingon) in Bart Simpson #84 comic book

[Russ Perry, Jr.]

Sorry for the delay in responding...

There's no one named Hawk, Mister or otherwise...

Bing is certainly the usual suspect, but...  I can't help but wonder if "lij" was meant to be "maj", and "Quch" head, and wonder if it was done partly from (a mistaken) memory.  But who knows...

I checked again, and while "'oy' teS Quch" parallels "Ay, mi cabeza" earlier in the story, the next panels do not proceed the same way, so I don't think the rest of the phrases are mirroring earlier ones the same way.

This is very interesting to see!

fixing the case and apostrophes, I get this:

{'oy' teS Quch}
"it hurts, ear forehead"

{qal qaH Hawq QoghIj}

It's possible this is is a transcription from a name. Is there a "Mister
Hawk" in the story?
literally it say "Mister Hawk's brain is corrupt."

{lIj}
"your" or "forget"

{Haq no'och}

The first is "surgery/do surgery", but {no''och} is a word for forehead.

Summarizing this, I believe it is the result of the Bing-translator.
