Her Story
Tank girl had done a series of
missions for a nebulous organization before she was declared an outlaw for
making a serious mistake along with her past history of sexual inclinations with
her Booga, a mutant kangaroo and substance abuse.
When she was 7, she started a collection of novelty pencil sharpeners (the
collection is now housed in the National Museum of Modern Pencil Sharpeners, Sydney).
She later became a tank pilot and worked as a bounty
hunter before shooting a heavily decorated officer, having mistaken
him for her father, and failing to deliver colostomy bags to President Hogan,
the incontinent Head of State in Australia, resulting in him publicly embarrassing
himself at a large international trade conference. These events resulted
in Tank Girl becoming an outlaw with a multi-million dollar bounty
on her head.
"She is prone to random acts of sex and violence, hair
dyeing, flatulence, nose-picking, vomiting, spitting,
and more than occasional drunkenness. She also has the ability to outrun
any ice cream van - even Mr. Whippy." (wikipedia)
