About Tranquility Base
Tranquility Base is the result of adding Classic Space, Futuron and one or two other bits of LEGO together to create a spaceport in which weird stuff can happen.
It is what would happen if we Brits had won the space race (I know, we weren't in "The" space race) -- it's an organisation that employs some eccentrics with brilliant minds but not necessarily any common sense, far too few highly efficient but under-paid workers who actually keep the place running, and all overseen by a bloated administrative layer that couldn't organise a... uh... bonfire in an explosives factory.
The comic's format tends to be one-shot jokes and occasional multi-episode story arcs. The subject matter is mostly geeky sci-fi (books as well as films), although it also covers pop-culture, literature and anything else that takes my fancy. The comic has transcended being semi-aware of its nature and now there is, in effect, no forth wall in Tranquility Base -- which is appropriate considering it's heavily based on 'Classic Space' sets which never did have a fourth wall!
The comic went on hiatus with no new episodes (except for one special episode) from the 18th July until 26th September 2009. It's now back, though!
