Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A person with dark hair, wearing glasses and a suit, speaks to a woman with reddish-brown hair. The dialog reads: “You shouldn’t tell your kids Santa is real.” The woman looks questioningly and replies, “Why?”

Panel 2: The man continues speaking, his expression serious: “Eventually, they’ll find out you’re wrong. That you lied about it. Then they’ll be skeptical of everything.”

Panel 3: The focus shifts to the woman, who looks worried and slightly incredulous. She has a troubled expression and responds with an exaggerated assertion: “And Santa is real and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy and the Keebler Elves and the Yeti and Elvis is still alive because he’s the Loch Ness Monster now and the—”

Panel 4: The scene shows a child in a pink shirt, excitedly playing, while the woman continues to speak to the man. The dialog captures her ongoing fantastical explanation, leaving the implication of disbelief hanging in the air.

The comic captures a humorous conversation about the disbelief surrounding childhood myths. The characters are rendered in a simplistic, cartoonish style.
