IF: Gesture

zdepski's Swimming Hole illustration for Corporal Punishment Series

The Swimming Hole
Some kids had above-ground... other kids had in-ground Pools. We had a hose!!
"Con Found the Doggon Thing Anyhow!! Oh Good Night!!" -- Dad's Tirade
Dad yelled at us to stop or we'd burn out the water pump.
So... We all got Impetigo from the Crap-filled creek.
The next year we got a YMCA pool membership.

The gesture was there... it didn't quite work out the way we planned.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I was just last night googling the YMCA in Joliet, Illinois, thinking back to my membership in the early 50s! Love your drawing style.

Is it wrong for me to laugh at your impetigo? I wonder why I didn't get it since my mom wouldn't let us play with the hose either, and I spent a lot of time in the river. We got a Y membership too. Fun illo :)
