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!

um ….is the guy from the other con just this D hole in a wig?
I think Garner is used to feeling small/weak and lashes out to feel strong, whereas Terrence is used to feeling important and powerful and lashes out at people who threaten that feeling. The result is the same though, so how about we let the two of them go off and start their own con. Clearly they think they know enough.
And this is when Terrence gets fired from staff for not being a team player. Well at least I would wish that. No but Terrence could get put in his place by Lynn in my opinion only if Lynn wanted to.
It’s hard to fire people when they’re all unpaid volunteers and you’re understaffed.
Not when they’re a negative. Either fix your attitude or be gone. I’d rather be short staffed than having a member that causes that much drama.
I’ve walked away from volunteering at two cons because of jerks like this in charge. They weren’t mistreating me but I wasn’t going to be part of an organization that allowed it.
Ah, lifestyles of the socially clueless. Dammit Terrence, you CAN be the guy that calls people on their crap – but only if you’re actually good at knowing when it’s warranted. This “Actually it’s a free opportunity to wave your superiority peen around” stuff just makes you an asshole – and is just gonna get your face rearranged eventually. Sadly, that’s often what it takes. Not really into that as a first option, but there are genuinely times when I’ll allow it.
I take back everything I’ve ever said in defense of this guy, put to and including the idea that maybe Sarah as a little harsh. He assumed they were out to annoy him over freaking pancakes… Pancakes! What the actual heck?
I do have to wonder… Is this particular scenario based on an actual event?
I should also mention that I’ve worked the con scene before and met my fair share of crazies… Such as a treasurer who decided to hide a super expensive projector from the tech guy’s staff because she decided he needed a lesson in responsibility. She then proceeded to call his parents’ home number in the middle of the night and left him in a panic frenzy for hours trying to find the damn thing. This all happened during a convention when panelist and staff needed said projector.
He has quite a bit of real life inspiration, yes.
Saving me the trouble of posting the same thing. I’m still inclined to think Sarah’s behavior could have contributed to this outcome. Terrence being an ass doesn’t mean Sarah hasn’t been one.
Sarah hasn’t been a saint, and we havn’t seen everything, but my opinion of Terrance is dropping like a rock.
