    Coffee gives a statement on his Selfy confrontation

    Attempted murder is the rap, haul Selfy to the station.

    Sam and Tracy on the case, their squad car picks up speed

    Selfy tries a desperate move, hot pursuit creates the need

    To take it to the narrows, see the bridge now opens wide

    Selfy, he can run away. Narcissism cannot hide.

    Selfy makes a getaway Heā€™s jumped this bridge before

    Escape Detective Tracy and become the stuff of lore.

    Sam and Tracy hit the brakes, put out an APB

    Selfy takes a selfie of himself as he does flee.

    An experienced bridge jumper! I knew he had some tricks up his sleeve.

    Odd marks on his car? What odd marks?

    ā€œPracticeā€? Where do you suppose Selfy has been practicing such a move? If heā€™s been using the Narrows Bridge for his practicing, surely the police would have a record of some unknown nut-job appearing repeatedly at the bridge to jump it.

    I believe that his jump may be successful but his landing will be rather painful unless heā€™s taken steps to reinforce the car. Iā€™ve heard stuntmen who have done such have severe back injuries at times.

    A good bit of fun, this short run and jump, complete with Gouldian arrow. ā€œThat lucky son of a gun!ā€ Sam exclaims. Fahgettabout it, Sam. Itā€™s Tracytown. Always a pleasure to see Sam and Tracy on the case. A recent glimpse of Lizz was also most appreciated. A short chase picked up the pace. Now we have Selfy on the lam with a bag of cash. The possibilities are intriguing. Take another selfie, Selfy. This time a portrait of the narcissist as a fugitive.

    Thanks to Gweedo, Jonathan K., Night-Gaunt49, cpalmeresq, Vista Bill, Chris Sherlock and JPuzzleWhiz for the kind words. Very much appreciated.

    Iā€™m glad Selfy made it. Otherwise, I was expecting him to see Sweatbox under the bridge.

    YE GODS ā€“ well so much for my prediction (hope) of Selfieā€™s doom. But heā€™s on the lamā€¦.either capture or death are his ultimate fateā€¦ā€¦.

    I guess by this, and tomorrow being Halloween, we wonā€™t see Abner this go-round. Incidentally, ā€œHazzardā€ has two zees in it. Boss Hogg just confirmed it and Roscoe P. Coltrane re-confirmed it.

    ""Narrows Bridge" may have sounded more New York-specific, as I thought yesterday, but todayā€™s art looks far more like any of several bridges over the Chicago River, Chicago being the usual prototype for Tracyville. How Selfy got his stunt-driving experience is an interesting question, one for which we do not yet have enough information to answer. But I, too, wonder what ā€œthose odd marks on his carā€ might be and why we learn of them only in the last balloon of the last panel. Will they provide a lead for Sam and Tracy to follow up? For that matter, does it make any difference at this point? The cops seem to have enough on Selfy already to make an arrest that will stick, even before Chicagoā€™s/Tracyvilleā€™s notoriously lenient judiciary (as distinct from federal prosecutions in the city; and, anyway, where have the feds and Fritz Ann been since the death of Rep. Bellowthon?)ā€¦.
