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 not one for profanity, but…
*applauds*
Hold up hand, wiggle fingers a la Vir…
This is going to be very good
Now I wanna rewrite the Hopalong Cassidy theme song to match Sarah’s term…
As funny as this is, shouldn’t the hatchet job be done by executive staff or someone from the HR department? Of course, this assumes that the con has that sort of structure. I just think that Terrence will ignore the dismissal since it didn’t come from the ‘right’ person/people.
I doubt they have that much structure, although “staff management” may be part of the duties of whoever is volunteer coordinator this year or a similar role.
That said, yeah, this needs to be coming from someone else. A, it’s just polite to not be a dick when you fire someone. B, Terrance would probably be right to claim that Sarah doesn’t have the authority, which means he’ll end up talking to Veronica anyway, so just cut out the middle man.
There’s also the “I sent someone else to fire you, because that way I won’t $@#^*ing strangle you right here – then set the body on fire and dance around singing joyfully.” method of employee termination. Perhaps it’s more a case of that?
Not the most professional manner to fire someone, but it does hold a fair bit of personal satisfaction. And yeah, likely be a needed level of verification.
I suspect her choice of words are going to come back to bite her… Sarah doesn’t seem known for intelligent decision-making, especially when it comes to social interaction.
