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!

That’s a rather interesting pattern on the carpet.
It’s from a real ugly hotel carpet
What is it about hotels and having ugly as shit and often migraine inducing carpet patterns?
It may just have to do with the limited pattern options for high traffic carpets. That and design fashion changes faster than the carpets wear out.
Given that most convention center carpets are rather ugly I believe it is intentional and is due to some marketing/hotel management dogma, such as the idea that a disinteresting carpet will make you interact more with people and therefore have a better time at the wedding reception, convention, or meeting you are attending.
@KORfan – given that most conventions and conferences destroy lots of furniture and carpets solely by its traffic, managers may do their best to get rid of the worst carpets in hotel and change them after con to more tamed designs (like these now popular little yellow squares in corners of imaginary big squares, that whole on bordeaux bg). You can always hope that you finally destroy it and next time will get no migraine from deep purple x bright green galaxies 😀
So… any anime in particular that they’re talking about?
Any and all of them (based on manga that has at least three volumes)
I’m guessing Wage Project
I just noticed that Rick the blond cop was in the same cop that talked to Phil a couple cons back when a congoer was trying be Batman.
Yep.
Always fun to be in the hotel lobby and seeing an arrest. It’s even better when its 7am and you’re just sitting there, drinking coffee waiting to go head to the con to work, watching a HEAVILY drunk man resisting arrest and trying to go back to sleep on the couch. Felt kind of sad no one else was awake to enjoy this with me.
