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!

So Garner is like the Awesome Roy of Unagi Con?
Wow, that comic seems to summarize what so many cons experience, no matter the size.
I so rarely get to use this phrase…
“Just as I suspected!”
No one is where Jim is for that long without having social manipulation ninjutsu – no matter how innocuous they may seem.
The haphazard way Unaji Con is run seemed to say that Jim was simply leader by being the one to raise his hand or not say no.
I’m still curious why Mouse Whispering was the number 1 item…
Racism probably?
Okay what. I’ve never heard that before and Google isn’t helping. I’d spent this entire time assuming it was a random joke involving the rodent equivalent of horse whispering leading to barely-trained mice running over people’s feet. What does it actually mean?
I mean it’s totally not two random words that I thought sounded funny when paired together.
Nope.
Don’t know what you’re talking about.
That’s racist!
