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 remember doing something similar. I remember going to the storage unit for No Brand Con with someone who knew the combo to the lock. We went to check in on the stuff and I ended up taking a staff tshirt from that last year’s con. I told staff that I did that so they weren’t upset. It was sort of what this comic reminds me off.
20 says there is loot in there worth enough to revive the con
I have no idea, what does the rent on a storage unit run?
Seriously dependent on where, at least in the U.S. it is. Low low end in Southern Cali is like $40 to $100 and some a month – that’s like a 5X10 “Hey look it’s a closet” unit. High end/I actually need space for some stuff” like $100-400 and some. That’d be say 10X20.
Conversely a friend of mine that lives in Kentucky is renting a 10X10 for like $40, and that’s with climate control and such – so a decent one.
YMMV
So on a yearly payment, cheap end will be around $400, while expensive side could be $5000. Either way, not likely something to be paid out of pocket until the con gets back on it’s feet.
I’ve currently got a 10′ x 10′ indoor with a/c and insurance for ~$150. Same thing outdoor with no a/c and no insurance is under $100. But I wouldn’t keep valuable convention stuff in anything other than the indoor/air conditioned/insured
