Half Full by Maria Scrivan for August 23, 2022

Gave the girl the slip?

Nude beach!

I had an embarrassing incident at a school pool outing. Trying to show off that I could dive off the (really) high dive, I hadn’t anticipated that wearing a bikini was the wrong kind of suit for such feats. While the bottom stayed on, the top did NOT. And I had to get out of the pool in front of all my classmates with only my arms covering me. (Of course, some boy had absconded with the top before I could retrieve it). Ugh!

The last one doesn’t look like a slip. It looks more like the swim suit was ejected (or ejected itself) on purpose.

Oy! That happens to me when I was in high school…my top snapped off….OY

You never suffer the embarrassment of a suit slip if when you swim you choose to skinny dip.

Last panel – wardrobe malfunction?

Love it! My parents would never let us girls wear two-piece suits for that very reason. They made it sound so reasonable that when I was old enough to choose my own swimsuits, I still thought one-piece was a good idea! By then a few of my friends had had “accidental modesty issues” with their suits, so I stuck with one-piecers.

“I’ve lost my bikini bottom!” “Never fear; I’ll drain the pool immediately!” —rough translation of “Condorito”

My girlfriend didn’t realize that putting her arms together for a dive would cause the clasp between the cups of her top to separate. The other hotel guests got a treat.
