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!

1. Yep
2. yep
3. I imagine the third word is nuns, if so, yep.
I really want to know what “the incident” with glitter was.
Like “The Noodle Incident” from Calvin & Hobbes, it’s probably funnier if we never find out the details.
This scenario sounds about right. The first time I assumed the role as dealer’s liaison for a convention, there was a case of theft in the vendor hall the one day I went off-site for lunch. I returned to find that security had been called and everything. Thankfully, the issue was resolved quickly and they ended up not needing to call me to rush back.
(To note, I had informed my staff I was going off-site for lunch and would be back in about an hour or so.)
…also, they’re electing her Con Chair…
Yup – everything happens at the meeting you miss.
Whee – a “How the hell does this con ever survive year after year??” illustration meeting, my favorite! (The answer of course is by sucking in a few competent people, and bitching your face off when they start shouting and beating you about the head and neck with a pipe until you agree to something workable.) Then that person gets tired of it, and a new challenger appears…
