    Selfy flew

    Like he always used to

    Leaving all the past behind

    His sinister sneer

    A product of his absence of fear

    Emerged when he escaped a Houdini bind

    “Well done old chap”

    He’d say during his victory lap

    As he mocked whomever he left in the dust

    It seemed his only foolish act

    Was his habit of looking back

    While the road ahead was still dangerous as engine rust

    We’ll all know soon enough

    If his escape turned into a bust

    Are those eggs smeared all over his face?

    It’s as tragic as the burning ice pack

    dirty Franko felt deep in his back

    Will Selfy surprisingly be asked to forfeit the race?

    Glad we have Selfy’s own words explaining his expertise on that bridge.

    I have to think his lack of a seat belt is intentional, as it’s not been seen in any of the strips with him behind the wheel.

    Selfy may be wearing a lap belt but he has no shoulder restraint- I went back and checked every strip. How a man of his size didn’t get hurt is beyond me. And ditto for why the airbags didn’t go off.

    Selfy is certainly a bit reckless, but he’s right about the cops — they did not expect him to jump the bridge!

    You’d think the police would have noticed someone repeatedly jumping a car over a drawbridge. But I suppose with all the bizarre criminals in Tracyville, they don’t have time to worry about a little reckless driving.

    Cops have radios and helicopters … Selfie is a stupid murdering narcissistic loon.

    Perhaps Selfy will be brought down due to his vanity—everyone in the state will recognize his face!

    And in the car in the opposite lane, the driver laments: (sigh) Every day, the same boring routine…

    Tracy seems to have misjudged

    Selfy— that self centered little pudge

    Jumping bridges since his teens

    Embezzlement schemes in between

    Tracy and Sam will extend the chase

    Selfy will be put in his place

    Trying to make a getaway

    Not aware that crime does not pay

    I get the idea that the Narrows Bridge is in a relatively rural or unpopulated area where not a lot of people see what happens there. Still, there should have been a bridge attendant who opened the bridge for a passing ship.

    Good for you, Selfie… now let’s see if you can out-run a police chopper.

    If Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane had been chasing him, he’d be over that bridge in hot pursuit. Unfortunately, the PC cops pulled The Dukes off TV because it “offended” a some people.

    For anyone doubting such jumps are possible …

    Well jumped, Selfy. But I bet your car’s suspension is a mess.. Now we know where your skill comes from (years of practice), but not how you’ve managed to elude capture for so long on the reckless driving charges. Does your car have license plates (and, if so, how many different, rotating sets)?

    Av, are you ghost-writing Timmy’s poetry for him? I see a similarity there! C’mon, Timmy! Fess up! I know where Gweedo’s poetry originates. The door says “Men”.
