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!

Damn Lynn is so awesome!
I didn’t know she was Hispanic until now.
Lynn Guadalupe Baxter is the daughter of an Irish immigrant father and a Mexican-American Mother.
I’m not sure how much I’ve inserted into the last seven years of canon, but I know I mentioned her Mexican heritage for the first time back at the tail end of I Hate November in Chapter Two.
(Lynn was originally created for another comic I was working on in 2003 that I never finished or released. It was called Re-entry and was meant to be a much more serious comic about a couple of characters putting their lives back together after hitting rock bottom. For that project, I did an indepth timeline and bible for each character.
Re-entry stuff isn’t canon, but I updated her timeline in 2006 when I recycled Lynn for a project called “Full Circle.” When I started UnCONventional I used the 2006 character bible for Lynn, and have stuck to it pretty closely)
Little vicious to pull on a lowly desk clerk, on the other hand, he should have been looking for alternative solutions the moment he knew there was a problem.
Yeah, vicious and probably overkill. On the other hand, this problem should never have happened in the first place, so I can’t blame her for going with the nuclear option to fix it.
nice when you can play that many cards from your hand on one turn and just WRECK your opponent
I can just see what’s going through the front desk clerk’s mind….”uh….uh….oh, FELGERCARB!!!!!!”
I work as a front desk clerk and I’ve had this happen…the ones that I REALLY love are the ones that reserve a room online only a half-hour before arriving at the hotel…
Grin. And then just being Lynn seems to be sufficient.
