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!

So in a way this con has been a bit of a disaster
In what way hasn’t it been a bit of a disaster?
remember when Bork con had to deal with a thunderstorm that knocked out the power and a tornado warning delayed the cosplay contest
Or remember the time Shiitake Con folded days before the con, and attendees showed up to an event that never happened?
That one was a good plot although I still wonder if there was a con that actually did that.
Yes, Langland, it’s happened.
In 2006 was Flanvention 2. The company such tens of thousands of more dollars from attendees during the last week prior. And then cancelled on Day 1, didn’t even show up to tell attendees.
I meant to spell “sucked”
So… should I assume I know what’s going to happen in the next strip, and NOT spoil people who don’t see it coming?
I forsee flames. Maybe metaphor flames of rage, perhaps literal flames of arson. Not sure.
