A gentle woodland scene with a wonderfully nerdy twist. As a pair of moose stroll past the herd, one voices a social anxiety rooted in grammar rather than crowds. Quiet, clever, and charmingly self-aware, this cartoon is perfect for introverts, word lovers, and anyone who’s ever dreaded group settings for reasons they can’t quite explain.
