IF: dip

Spread the love

This week’s Illustration Friday challenge word is “dip”.
oh my god it's DIIIIIIP!
Springtime. It’s the time when the skies are clear, the air is fresh and another baseball season begins.

After a six-month rest, the Boys of Summer are back on the green fields and dirt basepaths. Dressed in their familiar hometeam colors. Shagging flies. Laying down the perfect bunt. Smacking the high cheese into frozen ropes. Turning two. Painting the corners with a nasty bender. Pinching a huge wad of long cut dip tobacco out of the tin. As that tin is jammed back into its protective pocket, that wad is wedged deep in the fold between the lower lip and gum. And then, a thickened stream of shit-brown liquid is spit down the chin and the front of the uni. Just ten more years and that cancerous lower jaw will be a thing of the past.

Ah, Spring. Play ball.
