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!

Totally not what I thought it would be. I should have posted my predictions (frivolous lawsuit, venue extra-EXTRA unavailable…uh…I know I had at least one other…) with the last comic.
This should be interesting.
…oh S**T
Now that’s a nightmare. Embezzlement?
Set the Wayback Machine to 1980. Galacticon in Los Angeles is supposed to be at the Bonaventure Hotel downtown. All the fen show up and… no con. It was eventually learned that the chair had “invested” the entire con treasury in a white, powdery substance and got busted. There’s a whole class of us called Galacticon Refugees who discovered Loscon 7 at the Anaheim Sheraton and have been going to Loscon ever since.
Well that explains a few things – that was when a “friend” told me how Galacticon, the con he was working on had just lost it’s person in charge of the art show and would I pullleeeezzzee take over running said art show. Next month. Already all organized and stuff. Being way too naive for my own good I said ok, and about the time I noticed the “organization” was nil and I had stuck something together with spit and wire, I was informed that the con was suddenly cancelled due to losing its hotel (this about a week before it was scheduled). I was so relieved I really didn’t pay any more attention to the thing. Figures they didn’t warn anybody. Chairman get caught pushing or just send the whole budget up his nose? Idiot.
Caught pushing.
I can rarely say something “started on a cliffhanger”. Consider me in suspense!
What about many episodes of 21st century “Doctor Who?”
…not what I had guessed… really hoping is something along the lines of ‘oh, didn’t we tell you? The money all gets transfer to this other account during the off-season. For reasons.’
Hmmm. Now willt his be a Los Pegasus situation…
OK, what ancient Chinese guy did they manage to tick off? “May you live in interesting times” indeed…
Did they invite a musical act who, not realizing that a fan-run convention is not a typical venue, took advantage of Room Service?
