One year ago, on April 16th 2024, the first page of Peregrine Lake went online. One year since we first met Bev as she drove through a snow storm and said the exact thing most of us have said in that scenario.
It took so long for Peregrine Lake to get off the ground. I first announced it back in December of 2019, and originally I was going to draw it. And then the world fell apart, and I found myself with zero ability to draw it anymore. I kept kicking the idea around, wanting to move it forward when in 2023 I jokingly suggested to my friend Ethan that they could draw the comic for me.
And they said yes, they'd love to, and I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
We then spent almost a year regularly meeting, talking about my plans for the plots, the world, the characters, and all the things that would have otherwise just lived in my head. I started scripting comics, and Ethan got to work on concept art. And for most of 2023 we planned and got ready, and we hit the ground running in 2024.
And now we're here. Honestly, I love everything we've put out over the last year. Ethan's art is incredible, and tells the story in a way that I'm not sure mine would have. I love this comic, I love that you all are reading it, and I'm excited to show you what's coming next.
Because we've only just scratched the surface on how weird this is going to get.
On April 26th I'm going to be at Concinnity in Milwaukee, WI! Stop on by and say hi if you're in town!

This was a huge fear early on with our convention as well. Too much bullshit meant too little was getting done.
Wait, the meetings are WEEKLY?!
I’m guessing a huge majority of the staff must live nearby.
There are cons that don’t meet weekly?
Our Directors range from Colorado to Connecticut to Florida. The closest to our convention locale lives five hours away.
We meet formally twice a year. once at the convention and once four months before. There’s a fair bit of “Hey, we’re at this other con, let’s chat” but we do a LOT of email.
The month or so before the convention, certainly… the rest of the year… well, it’s established this isn’t a normal convention group… wasting that much time, they’d need to meet weekly to get anything accomplished.
Part of me thinks 4 hours isn’t so bad for a convention meeting, but that includes the time spent standing around bullshitting before and after…
We don’t go to weekly until we’re less than a month away from the con. It’s monthly most of the time then every three or so weeks
okay you either let me fix your site the way it needs to be fixed or i walk and you can find some other sucker to do this
Hey, at least they meet every week…it coulld have been a MONTHLY schedule…
