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 feel the urge to make a multiplane camera joke, but I can’t come up with one.
I like playing with multiple layers of depth and trying to mimic different types of camera effects. i do it a lot more often in Crosarth
It’s definitely an appropriate effect for an anime con, seeing as how, in the pre-digital age, multiplane shots were far more common in TV anime than in American TV animation (I’m working on Otakon’s Classic Track right now, so this sort of thing is very much at the forefront of my thoughts 😉 )
Also – the jokes,
“Ruth seems out of her depth”
“Sometimes it takes a minute for things to become clear”
“Barnes would be a great staffer if he could just focus”
Hey look it’s Harry
‘Not much bad can happen right now.’ …really, why does anyone ever say anything like that? It’s like taunting the Universe.
Pre-reg is kind of always the stress-free shift, for us. We know no matter how bad it might go, it’s still pushing through people so much faster than On-site.
..especially this year, when the reg computers had grand fail. From one line of code. For a facebook like button we forgot to pull.
Not my department anymore!

You just had to say it, Ruth…
