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!

Damn it, Jim
Wow… That’s actually kinda shitty considering how much she’s done for the con. Sure, punching Terrence wasn’t the best decision while in a leadership position, but there is some reasoning behind it.
And it would be one thing if the staff had collectively voted her out on their own, but for a leader to poison the well to that degree? That says leagues about the kind of person someone is, and it’s not a nice statement. And it’s just childish really. Big loss of respect for Jim.
Also, should Lynn’s second speech bubble say, “They would get rid of me”? There seems to be a word missing?
Nah, it’s right. It’s more slang-ish/vernacular than “proper” English, but it’s still grammatically correct.
Fair enough. I write for a living, so I don’t always catch on to slang, lol.
It’s Unagi Con’s funeral. Besides Lynn can now go back to Bork Con and revive that con and restructure it again. And I have a feeling this is story has some real life influence.
Stuff has consequences, even stuff that you should indeed be doing. Trite but true, even here.
Lynn gave Jim several huge headaches. The obvious one is “when will she be violent again?” another is “what else would she lie about?” with a third being “What other con staff will she spread those behaviors to?”
If Jim wasn’t going to go, Lynn had to go.
Or he could have done his job instead of letting the Hate Policy violator stay.
Those questions seem rather hard for a first-time offense while on his staff. She hasn’t made a pattern of these behaviors while working for him, so jumping to “Oh no! She’s inexplicably violent! I must spread a whisper campaign to passive-aggressively run her out of a leadership position!” is just childish. He’s an adult, not a teenager. What he should have done was waited until after the con and had an adult conversation with her. Like a fricking adult.
(I have little to no patience for passive-aggressive behavior from people who should know better. I dealt with that BS enough through a great deal of middle and high school.)
