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 hearing a certain Danny Elfman TV theme from the early 90’s in my head right now…
The only Danny Elfman themes I can think of are Beetlejuice and Batman, which both come from the 80s, so you’re going to have to help me on this one. 😛
Although if you just got your decade slightly off, either of those work… 😛
Here’s a hint: the property for which said theme was written is being adapted into a new TV series this fall, and the star of the earlier version will play a recurring role in it.
Another hint: it does not contain the Third Doctor’s son… 😉
I never thought the theme to Sleepy Hollow was that notable…
(Kidding, I have figured it out – I just hate Barry Allen too much on principle to acknowledge reality)
Badge Numbers?
Many cons number badges. It helps with keeping accurate counts, along with giving you something to use as a primary key in a registration system.
Indeed. When you have two Emily Smiths[*1], the badge number tells you who’s who. When costumers want a blank badge so their cosplay/new fursuit can be secret, the badge number gives you positive info. You can auction the right to badge #1 for charity, too!
I’m badge #2 at Anthrocon, and have been for 5 years. Our chairman is #0.
[*1] They’re both dealers, too.
