It’s time for cartoon justice!

Here’s a story about police in Germany hunting for a guy who was video-taped riding a skateboard down a steep stretch of highway at more than 60 miles an hour.

At some point soon, this doofus will be streaking downhill and take a sharp curve, only to find a chasm where a bridge used to be, a duck poised to slam him with a big shovel, or maybe a freshly-built brick wall.

There will be much noise, he will bounce past the moon, and will be aware of a stuttering pig saying “That’s all, folks!” This is how an orderly universe deals with guys like this. No need for the police.

I don’t see why they’re searching for him: all they have to do is paint a doorway on the rockface at the bottom of the slope and he’ll walk out.
