Tell The Truth Ezra

A sharp, tender take on modern parenting anxiety. Set against the chaos of a city playground, this cartoon captures the quiet competition, self-doubt, and humor that come with trying to “do it right.” A relatable, gently funny piece for parents who’ve ever wondered how they’re really doing—especially in comparison to everyone else.
