Welcome to the Home Base Archive, a page created to make site navigation a bit easier than having to click next, next, next, previous, etc. to get to where you want to go. To the left you will find links to the main storyline, and to the right you will find other Home Base related one-shot short comics.
MAIN STORYLINE: The twisted and insane scientist Arsenic plots world domination from his "Evil Lair of Evil" in New York, with the help of his somwehat concerned (but willing to overlook it because of her sweet salary) lab assistant, Old Lace. This is a continual story, so some of the dates where a "story" begins are arbitrary.
HOME BASE ONE-SHOTS: One-shots are stories not occuring within the main storyline, but do take place in the same universe of continuity. They are able to provide background about Arsenic, the mysterious organization known as "Home Base," and other "Elements" within it. Or they might just be about other shit like rapist, racist knights.
