AGENT 23 - SYNCHRONICITY ENGINEER
Turning 60, keeping shit weird
Tuesday 4th August 2026. Today is my 60th Birthday. As a self-indulgent celebration, I am offering a glimpse of my new character Agent 23, in the form of a t-shirt…
I say self-indulgent, because I really wanted the t-shirt for myself. Not just because it has my character’s logo on the front, but for the words we’ve put on the back…
I’ve had bits of Agent 23 kicking around for years, and the phrase “Synchronicity Engineer”, but I’ve only recently put them all together and realised what the character could be. I’m not gonna give too much of the story away yet (although the accompanying mini-book “The Final Secret of Agent 23” does give away quite a lot), but Agent 23 has special powers to make meaningful coincidences occur.
As for the t-shirt - I love the idea that there could be a team of designated people who hang around in public spaces, making sure weird stuff happens. My great hope is that some synchronistic event will befall an innocent person in my vicinity, which will totally freak them out, then they’ll look over at me and see the words “Synchronicity Engineer” on the back of my t-shirt…
We’ve screen printed fifty of these shirts, and they are now in the Tank Girl Store along with a bunch of extras - mini-book, agent ID card, and badge. Maybe you’ll want to be a Synchronicity Engineer too? Help us keep shit weird.
I’m donning my kilt and Agent 23 t-shirt and heading off to Lallybroch with my family and some friends for what looks like a rainy, Outlander-themed birthday picnic lunch.
Big love you mothers
Stay crispy

Happy birthday Alan, I hope at some point this year such synchronicity sees you looking at the back of your own shirt.
Happy Birthday Alan ! I hope the day brings love, laughter and cake !
I think I may already be a Synchronicity Engineer as I organise several insanely mad events in the UK.
That may mean I may be purchasing a t-shirt shortly.
