About the Design
This graphic features Krampus, the horned, anthropomorphic figure from Alpine folklore, notoriously known for punishing misbehaving children during the Christmas season. He is depicted holding a bundle of birch branches, ready for his tasks, while a basket full of wide-eyed children sits nearby. The design is rendered in a distressed, vintage style, adding a timeless and slightly eerie charm.
What the Phrase Means
The phrase "Krampus Day Care Service Est. 1984" is a humorous and ironic play on the traditional role of Krampus. Instead of simply punishing children, it suggests he operates a 'day care' – a darkly comedic concept given his reputation for whisking away naughty kids. The "Est. 1984" adds a touch of retro authenticity, implying this unique service has been in operation for decades.
