Krabstadt combines current topics and the fantastical. There is a talking volcano with an anger management problem, a Magic Hill Mall and much, much more. The goal is to develop and establish a new geographical focus and a new feminist agenda. As Krabstadt is set in the Arctic, influences from the neighbouring countries such as Canada, US, Russia, and China sometimes occur in the stories. The visual style is cute and sweet while the content is sarcastic and crude. Krabstadt does not reproduce gender normative visual codes found in most animated figures. Instead the characters subvert stereotypical gender expectations, both visually and in behaviour.
The revolving narrative centres on the exploits of Schlop Schlop and KK and their dealings with peculiar and quirky co-workers, bosses, clients, tourists and the town’s residents. Schlop Schlop is a lazy smart-ass, while KK is a workaholic fuelled by a potent sense of Lutheran guilt. As colleagues, the two are often in conflict with each other, unless united against their vulgar boss-from-hell named IT.
The visual style of Krabstadt mixes existing buildings and landscapes found in the Arctic and Nordic with invented structures that are intended to spark a feeling of the Arctic and Nordic as a magical place.
