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!

Awkward passive aggressive comments at 30 paces!
They need a new poster.
“BorkCon
We punch Nazis”
Any bets on how fast Jim gets nasty?
Judging by how Jim looks right now, it will get Ugly quick. I bet Jim will try some smear campaigns to put a damper on Bork Con. But I think it might backfire too because people at cons don’t like Nazis and I’m sure that incident might come up.

This is probably one of the only instances where passive aggressive comments are better than pretty much anything. Passive aggressiveness if fairly easy to ignore if you’re busy focusing on other things. Outright hostility and smear campaigns would make for a much more trying weekend.
I’m actually surprised Jim is upset at all. Lynn burned the bridge between them by committing assault and battery while working for Jim’s con, then lying to Jim’s face about it.
Was Garner really that effective as con staff that Jim resents Lynn poaching him?
If Jim runs a smear campaign it will be because he’s gotten used to getting his way and hates a challenge to his power. He hasn’t been petty in the time we’ve seen him in the strip and smearing Bork con is definitely petty.
True it would be petty but he has managed to manipulate staffers to side with him and against anyone he opposes. So he could make some attempts to manipulate con goers to not go to Bork Con. But because he right next to Lynn, he’ll probably do something very childish in my opinion because even fully grown adults can act immature sometimes.

Oh this is gonna be good.
