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!

I don’t think it’s physically possible to get a (clear) picture of John Barrowman in a hotel lobby. My experience is that he’s surrounded by several concentric rings of handlers, security, and shrieking fans at all times.
Ew, Brew-Con is a nickle-and-diming for-profit con? I can’t stand those kind.
I can understand the no-hallways-photos rule. It can lead to massive backups and blockages and all. But I hate when cons charge you to take photos or get autographs from the guests.
Rhode Island Comiccon is partially there. If you want a photo taken with yourself at a celebrity’s booth, it’ll cost you. And you can’t take a picture of the main celebrities (who get a separate area on a podium!) BUT if you take a picture of a celebrity on the main floor, no one says anything. One celebrity (Vic Mignogna) actually had to have a handler at his table to make certain he charged since he liked posing and would do it for nothing.
Dessa as someone who works very hard at multiple conventions I feel that I can speak as to the charging for pics and autographs. In today’s world it is absolutely necessary as there is no way today to get a media guest without those monies involved.
Nobody stops me from John sexysexysexy Barrowman. NOBODY! *fangirl max level*
But yeah, I seen this rule. It’s very Wizard, isn’t it?
This rule has driven me bonkers for years. Unless you’re a celeb-level guest, and I’m talking HOLLYWOOD HERE, I don’t understand the need of you super-charging for pictures.
Weill wait, if you’re ridiculously popular and get swamped at every con if you don’t, I understand then. There’s such a thing as over working a guest and some cons do the charge-per-autograph with some guests due to their popularity, not necessarily as a overall rule.
Others do it to cover the guests fees. Some are super skeevy about it (hello current con in arch).
