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 surprised they didn’t Vet the questions
The hovertext agrees!
If they did, the dude probably lied. Trying to get one over on the Establishment.
People do – but if nothing else it’s a good way for assholes not to have a leg to stand on once they get thrown out. “Deviating from your previously screened questions on a panel may result in your removal at the discretion of the event staff.” or somesuch in the signup paperwork. Some forethought a day keeps stan-sympathetic ambulance chasers away.
Not a big fan of vetting questions, I mean, I imagine you all are anti-vetting questions at Blizzcon.
I tend to like vetting questions when it’s to keep sexist assholes from harassing a rape survivor. I dislike vetting questions when it’s to keep a major corporation from facing consequences for protecting a fascist regime. I support the right of all events* to vet questions, because it’s private property that’s being used to ask the question.
As a rule, I EXPECT all events to vet questions, because it’s seriously dumb to let anyone grab a live mike from you and shout whatever they want at your Guests of Honor.
