Take On Me, The Sequel

by mlawski — Thu, Oct 9, 2008, 7:33am

Once upon a time, an 80s girl was reading a subversive comic book in a diner while listening to that one A-ha song everyone likes.  But lo!  Out of one of the comic’s frames pops a sketchy hand – the hand of Patrick Swayze-inspired 80s Motorcycle Guy.  80s Comic Book Man brings 80s Girl into the comic book, which seems like fun to 80s Girl at first.  Little did she know that Evil Wrench Guy, Motorcycle Guy’s archenemy, is out for revenge!

Motorcycle Guy runs through the comic world with 80s Girl, realizes she is unsafe there, and sends her back out to her world through a portal made of pencil so he can fight dirty with Evil Wrench Guy.  After his victory against Wrench Guy, Motorcycle Guy makes his way into The Real World to live happily ever after with 80s Girl.

We assume.  But what might actually await Motorcycle Guy on Earth?  What happens after the girl decides to take him on?
