Hi everyone,
Today’s comic is Family Circus featuring the basketball
term “dribble”.
Comic Breakdown
“Mommy, I think my basketball has taken its last
dribble.” – Jeffy
What is going on?
Jeffy’s basketball cannot be used anymore. The ball has lost its shape and is
deflating. Either the basketball has to
be pumped up with new air or if it has a hole it cannot be fixed. A new basketball may be needed.
Dribble
The word “dribble” means to bounce a ball. In basketball, people say “dribble” to mean
that someone is bouncing the ball around.
The phrase, “taken its last dribble,” can be translated
as “taken its last bounce.” Jeffy’s basketball is broken and he cannot play with it anymore.
