Krampus Day Care Service Premium T-Shirt
More Info on this Design
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.
