Tigra: Ah yes, the ’80s, our glory days when kids loved us. Now it’s all Pokemon and Harry Potter.
Panthro: Hey, we may be making a comeback. They’re musing a Thundercats movie.

Panthro: Speaking of which, do you know whatever happened to M.C. Hammer?
This shot was done for FGR and I Love The ’80s.
