tetherball #nn

A how-to instructional comic presenting the rules for playing and scoring tetherball, a backyard game where two players hit a ball attached to a rope wound around a central pole. The comic demonstrates proper serving technique, explains that players must let the ball pass once on the serve before hitting it back in opposite directions, details the all-rubber ball's soft and pliable construction, and shows how to construct your own tetherball set using galvanized pipe from a plumbing supply house. Additional rules covered include that touching the pole results in losing the game, and that holding or catching the ball or rope is prohibited.
