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!

Not to be “that guy”, but you have a typo. Garner’s word bubble says “how MAN hours have you worked”…
Don’t worry man, if you hadn’t, I would have.
Ugh, I gendered you based on your avatar… Sorry if I’m off-base.
Ugh. Thanks. I’ve fixed it.
You aren’t the first or the last to do it. Just about everyone I’ve seen with a comic that’s gone long term has put one up at one time or another. At least you didn’t end up with a typo that made the speech all seriously capital W wrong.
Oh, I do it all the time — I just usually notice and fix it within an hour of the comic going live 😛
I have been in Sarah’s shoes.
I split my time between the game room, dealers room, and working more security with nothin’ else to do. And the latter and the former often doubled up as ‘game room monitoring’, which I was able to do while playing games.
Sounds to me like it’s time for a nap…. then again, I tend to spend Con running a panel until 6am.
How much you wanna bet there’s a requirement of 16 hours worked to maintain a staff position? I know my con has that requirement.
If Sarah works teardown, that would give her at least one more hour (and many cons count double points for work done during teardown)
