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!

Good luck finding parts for a car that old Lynn. The company more than likely stopped making replacement parts over 30 years ago and the new replacement parts would have to be made on a CNC machine translating to much more money worth spending. In short, get a newer vehicle.
You assume she’s going to use new parts.
Also, the Grand Marquis shares a lot of parts with the Ford Crown Victoria — which was the basis for many an 80s cop car.
(The popularity of the platform for cop cars and taxis means there are a ton of after market parts still being made for the car too)
You would be surprised at how easy older car parts are to come across. If it’s a common model it is literally as easy as click and buy. Rare cars are a little harder
whats left of it is worth more to sell as a part car for someone else as dumb as Lynn
I mean, Lynn works a well paying job. She doesn’t maintain a 32 year old car in immaculate condition because it’s *practical*
Never related to one of the characters more then Lynn right now
The car is great for safety, just as long as you live in an area with minimal snow and terrible drivers. So, you know, not Indiana.
I mean, Megan is from Indiana — but the comic takes place in Wisconsin.
Lynn has never lived anywhere but Wisconsin.
I mean, a few sandbags in the trunk and it’s fine. Carry tire chains. Hell, if you’re driving distances measured in hours in places with weather like that, you should be doing that anyway. I’m sort of surprises my Lynn doesn’t already, considering it’s her.
Tire chains weren’t legal when I lived in Wisconsin.
What about pushing the “B” button?
