Christmas 2012: Part Ten
Chapter: Season Three
The penny drops.
I don’t think Krampus and Santa would really come to blows (except in circumstances like this). That isn’t to say they are buddies but I could see them being aware of each others roles and staying out of the way. I’ll expand on this a little more but for now it looks like Krampus isn’t in the driver seat.
I am really happy with the 3rd-panel on this one too.
I need a print of panel three.
3rd panel FTW!
Did you name the kid Holly as foreshadowing all along for your Yuletide Wrestlemania? Actually didnt pick up on that til now.
I did!
When Klaus talked about “strict discipline and fear” I assumed Krampus didn’t exist, seeing as that’s literally all he does. It’ll be interesting to see why Klaus doesn’t think Krampus is enough.
He also said “An aspect of our legacy long since forgotten and now tread upon by others.”
Klaus is aware of Krampus and does not like that he punishes the bad children. Klaus is a fuck hole and thinks a Claus should do it all (especially since he would get off on it).
Krampus didn’t exist when Klaus said that. Obviously there’s some conplex future christmas arc with timetravel and the creation of other christmas spirits.
What is this, Doctor Who?
Does Klaus ever get sick of getting his butt whipped? Oh wait… the whip to the face kinda proved he does…
Anyway, hope that this Claus v. Klaus action ends well… and that we get to hear more about Sam’s new “Mad World Project” soon… if at all.
Absolutely. Sam’s new world and the groups introduction to it will be one of the next arcs after Christmas. Sooooooooon.
I’ve been seeing a lot of Krampus popping up lately. There’s a Krampus book out, and he stars in the most recent “Jingle Belle” comic. Thank God it wasn’t part of my childhood Christmas mythology.
Brian, I am in love with your Christmas arc(whole thing, not just this year). Santa as an action hero, and epic tale rocks. And like others, love the 3rd panel… That’d be a great holiday card.
Poster of panel 3 please?
Are you planning on continuing the DM trials with Larry at some point? Or is that story-line kind-of on an indefinitely timed back-burner?
Ah! When I saw Krampus being a douche to children and trying to take over the world, I thought that was simply you taking artistic license with the character. (After all, just how many Christmas-related demons and badguys are there?)
But this is even better. Clearly I should have given you more credit!
If you did more artwork in the style of panel three, I would buy prints.
Ok, so, yeah this is 3.5 years late, but I just discovered this comic a couple days ago (loving it, btw). So the Steve Buscemi thing in the mouse-over text? Don’t ask me why, but that was the voice of the mantle in my head before I even read the mouse-over text.
