Babykrampus New Year 2010

Here's a New Year's wish to you from the Krampus Kard blog. I wish you the happiest while St. Niklaus turns his back on you for a full year! It's a dickmove, Nik. Really. You're the epitome of a deadbeat dad.
Although, the posting frequency will be less, I assure you there will be some fun Krampus news in 2010. Stay tuned and raise a glass, folks–then bring it down upon the hardwood floor!•

• It's what the Krampus would do.

Krampus Pinup (of sorts)

And here it is. A Krampus sketched in a pinup-style. Just in time for Christmas! I was going to go all sweet and saucy but I decided to make her look hard and raunchy. After all, the mythical character that delivers discipline should look the part.
I wanted to color it but tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I have a kramp-load of family visiting so I should get back to whatever it is families do (I still haven't figured that out). I hope you enjoy her in all her penciled badness.
Also, her name is Kate and she loves to hate.

krampusgirl

This lovely piece of obscurity came directly from Austria. It is my most unusual (and most recently acquired) krampus postcard in my collection because it depicts the characters as children dressed up as St. Nikolaus and Krampus. I love how the krampus is a little girl and she has an innocent look on her face and nikolaus looks sort of bewildered with other children acting strange as well. A very splendid card altogether, I think.
Note that the sender of the postcard personalized the front by writing "and Nikolaus" after the "Greetings from Krampus!" line.
The postmark on the reverse side tells me that it was sent in November of 1929.
I think the artist did a splendid job on this delightful illustration of one of my favorite mythical characters. Mergy Krampus, everyone!

Comic Book Krampus 3: The Flash

The Krampus as DC Comic's The Flash. Looks like he's kidnapped a naughty child. Poor kid passed out due to the impact of the velocity. I guess that's what he gets for being naughty.
Next comic character made into a krampus karacter? You tell me, my good human. You tell me.

Comic Book Krampus 2: Wolvie Krampus

I know, i know. The obvious choice for an X-man krampus is Kurt Wagner, Nightcrawler. That would be much too easy. All I would have to do is add horns. And that's no fun. So, here is Wolverine in all his krampus glory. I hope you enjoy.
If you would like to suggest another comic book character for me to krampusize, please send an email to info@krampuskards.com or leave a comment on this post.

Komic Book Krampus 1: THE BAT[krampus]MAN

I was sketching late last night after viewing The Daily Batman which helped me remember that I've been meaning to start a project here that cross-pollinates the Krampus theme with one of my favorite past-times, comic book superheroes. So, I wandered into it and here is my first entry. The Batman as Krampus.
The entries will not be limited to any particular company and will cover all comic books–not only meta-humans (not that Batman is a 'meta-human' –geekcheck). I am also open to requests if anyone wants to chime in on seeing their favorite comic character krampusized. If so, I will be posting a new one weekly (every Wednesday) from now until December 30th.
Make Mine Krampus!
