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!

You mean there are meetings that AREN’T like that? 🙂
commemorating your wife’s birthday with a boring meeting.
Thankfully we don’t read minutes before our meetings. We just post them for people to read.
I would think the point of meeting minutes is to bring people up to speed who weren’t present, or to catch up if the previous meeting was a long time ago. Reading minutes from last week in the meeting seems like the kind of thing people do to seem “professional” because they think it’s just the thing you do and couldn’t tell you the actual point of it if you asked.
‘But… but… this is the way we’ve -always- done it!’
I have to say that boring meetings are preferable to some varieties of the opposite extreme.
“May you live in interesting times.”
Well, yeah, sometimes you should just light touchpaper and retire out the door… (And of course at dull ones one can always play computer games or make props, both of which I have done.)
