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!
YES! YES! GO FOR THE BALLS NEXT!
Endlessly satisfying.
Certain to have problematic ramifications, but endlessly satisfying.
Oh boy, this will make a for an interesting police report. Who would would the police side with? I’m honestly going to believe they will side with Lynn for multiple reasons.
No, that’s battery, anywhere from a month to a year in jail.
Garner was doing to appropriate thing. If Terrence persisted in not following the rules, you call hotel/convention center/venue security and have them trespass him. If he returns and persists, then you have the venue call the police, who will invite him to leave or go to jail.
I understand the desire to physically deal with the problem; but Lynn just committed a violent criminal act. And as she was acting as a representative of the convention, Terrence can sue both Lynn and the convention for injuries. Congratulations, Terrence wins and provides a recruitment story for real Neo-Nazis and Alt-righters
I came across a relevant webcomic page from 2008

Freedom of speech only restricts some government activity. A non-government group can tell you to leave, and your speech rights do not stop police from enforcing trespassing laws.
*gasp* Are you suggesting that Terrence out of all characters might be completely wrong about something? đŸ˜›
Unfortunately, battery charges exceed con policies.
Indeed they do
The 1st Amendment protects your freedom of speech from the government and unreasonable or unconstitutional abridgment.
You still have a freedom of speech vis a vis other citizens, they just don’t have to listen, hang around, or let you stay in a private location not your own. A hotel doesn’t have to let you stay if you’re an asshole to other guests, a convention renting the convention space of a hotel doesn’t have to let you into that area.
Hmmm lets see…..
1. T make a ‘threatening move’ towards Gamer, Lynn was acting as a good samaritan and defending Gamer
2. Lynn has a known history of anger issues, with the con so busy she forgot her medication and the uniform triggered an episode.
3. Lynn ‘tripped’ and T was in the way
4. Given this is the mid-west, cops don’t mind what happened to T
Seeing how Lynn’s knee is in the air, she should have also given Terrence a knee kick to his family jewels. That would be hilarious because it’s always funny to see a guy hit below the belt, if it wasn’t, then comedy shows and movie wouldn’t include it.
Reality you’d definitely have assault charges. Most likely be a minimal sentence though. Community service/etc. Any decent lawyer would bring up the whole “Well, she’s unlikely as hell to re-offend, given the general lack of asshats running around in full nazi regalia.” thing. She’d be internet famous for a while of course – which is fair enough. I’d buy her a drink/cookie/whatever the heck in a heartbeat, and shake her hand. Sometimes, “It’s not right, but I understand.” is a very valid concept**. This is one of those times.
**Not claiming nazis don’t need punching – the “not right” part only comes in due to his not actually doing anything other than existing as a highly visible jackhole. For that level of offense, just dragging him outside would be more like “right” but punching… yeah I can understand that too.
As a private citizens you can’t touch him unless he attacks you first. Touching him constitutes battery. Threatening to hit him in a “convincing way” constitutes assault: raising your fists and swinging but not connecting is assault. Actually connecting is battery. If he attacks first it’s self-defense and you can respond “appropriately” and proportionately.
Yes, as I noted – it’s going to result in charges – or at least it would in reality. That doesn’t mean that it never needs to happen. See “It’s not right, but I understand.
Eh, he was given a chance, and refused to leave. He is now being removed by force… focused on his face.
Terrence’s eyes are closed! Maybe he didn’t see Lynn!
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
