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’m pretty much waiting for Lynn to whip out a Gondor-sized horn, blow it, and watch the forces of Grammar ride up over the hill behind her to charge Garner. The forces of evil must be be given a good talking to! Possibly with a flick behind the ear and a couple of head bonks.
Quite possibly the cartoonist as well for playing bait the forces of Grammar ;p
When I make a mistake, I have two choices.
1. Fix it.
2. Decide the character made the mistake, and see what happens.
This interaction popped into my head, so I went with the second option.
Yep, and the latter was a complete surprise – and it worked. So, bonk on the head comes with a, “Well played, sir.”
….I figured he meant what he said. They are coaching people. Acting as the leader of a team, a coach. The people are being coached. If you are deceptive in the coaching you are doing, you are coaching in deception.
….though now that a check, he said pretense, not deception, but still works out the same.
