Here, Martin and Hewlett help Tank Girl get out of one of her impossibly improbable messes through the power of...comics!
![The question is, why aren't ALL comic book characters holding a carrot?](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotUbslSwJ4N3AyAMwE_XfY7mj_9IQANzjbsANYH_0WYHdVKe2_uYgbU8YdpOd2OUbeFb6DZDCP2Dw0rcD74yVJ5NPrlBXQQTUpIOoqh0eWONtROKlFZKgfYTlfdKdyUE_B2oE1N8OAc5JoQiClG3BH3TH-54Hll_aHcNlC7_5AM5oT1wPc8M/s1600/0804-alanmartin-tankgirl-fullcolourclassics2pt1a-force10.jpg)

from "Force Ten to Ringaroooma Bay" in Tank Girl Full Colour Classics #2.1 (Titan, June 2019), co-script by Alan Martin; co-script, pencils, and inks by Jamie Hewlett; colors by Tracy Bailey and Sofie Dodgson
It's one of those stories that gets written as it goes along! That's a sure method for sales success!

And now, the pin-up they never wanted you to see!:

Alan Martin, we thank you (and the other guy) for creating everybody's favorite Girl, The One Who Lives in a Tank™!
![Wow, Hewlett has gotten REALLY good at drawing backgrounds!](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl5LXD9W0fSiERxfvV54VAx1DGEMjFVrpFMV6z90q8d3ZLV0Dpz-rxhRaGGeV4MwV0Pkh427EnfQxG2NCFAR2Hv0_doDinoVc_WjasfWSHWtOxFCNNWgEVbNskfuC1dE4qpjRxhsY7ueKdbT4Yr33wJQIif5YqDhXVJwj2gE2_FfsMLkQagus/s1600/0804-alanmartin-tankgirl-fullcolourclassics2pt1y.jpg)
To keep yourself out of trouble on Alan Martin's birthday, here's a little bonus paper and scissors and glue project. Make your own cigarettes! (That's what that word means in Britain, but I still wouldn't throw it around a lot.)
![30% more kangaroo than the leading brand!](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqsYwf8o96POS6DliFAEV-zLkXswyFlV7cyOEVK-ILiYp5m1l3FJwXGdDxrtVoWTJkG9bbZvQGsbEQ1oHQi4G6ESFc-v2s_lMxIxA8RwC5JZ4BPaRXZ9zUlmAolfZVBOduN9o92eYuN2SanKpBfJ3iUuYGXTY5NnQe98DlMT5jFa7VyZ-Cj6w/s1600/0804-alanmartin-tankgirl-fullcolourclassics2pt1z.jpg)
