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!

This is news to me now. I didn’t know Sarah P. was Asian. That’s pretty cool.
Her last name is “Park” — that’s like the second most Korean last name someone can have 😛
Honestly it doesn’t sound Korean to me. I guess maybe I’m little rascist myself but I always thought Korean names were like Wang, Kong, Yang, Wok. I don’t know Park just sounds more like a typical last name of anyone of any ethnic background.
…Langland, next time you say “Maybe I’m a little racist” think about what you say next.
Let’s break this down —
Wang is Chinese.
Yang and Kong CAN be Korean, but are much more common in China (although Kang is not uncommon in Korea).
And Wok is a Chinese cooking utensil dude. I’m not aware of anyone having that as a surname.
The top three Korean surnames are (in order of commonness) Kim, Lee, and Park. Those three surnames literally make up nearly half of all Koreans.
What about Park Chung-hee, the South Korean president who was really a dictator but was on friendly terms with the US because he wasn’t a communist?
Or, to be a bit nicer, the CURRENT president of South Korea Park Geun-hye (the first woman President of South Korea).
Or, to go Korean American — actress Grace Park of Battlestar Galactica and Hawaii Five-0. Or Linda Park of Star Trek: Enterprise.
Or Steve Park, the stand-up comic and In Living Color cast member. Park Chung-hee was just the first to come to mind for me because i recently took a Korean Culture course and that guy was mentioned a lot.
Sorry remember but remember Trae in your own words. I have no filters.
stupid typo
By the way I do recall in No Brand’s schedule they had full names on their wall of people who have to work what.
Depends on the Workforce head. I used to use just first names and nicknames when I did the scheduling back in the day
It’s possible for Sarah Park to go by a nickname, but with events so far, Racist Sarah gets the short end of the stick.
Typically in such situations, I’d let the two work it out between themselves. But as mentioned, everyone has their own way of doing things.
I haven’t explained this yet, but since Sarah Park is also staff, her shifts are preprinted on the master schedule unlike the volunteers.
Bill can sympathize.
Also, too bad Max didn’t take a page out of Professor River Song’s book of name differentiation…
