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 wonder if the real reason that Gary’s bowtie is undone is he doesn’t know how to tie one.
Something tells me this is Gary’s sadistic way of taking revenge on the con and everyone who’s staff for never noticing him and not exactly treating him like a first class citizen.
This will be interesting to see if any of the cast ever run into Gary or if this strip is the last we ever see of him.
Or perhaps it’s an Empire Record’s sort of thing and he’s planning to show up with enough cash to save the day?
Or we are witnessing the beginning of a running gag, and every month or so we’ll get a panel or so of him living it up someplace or other around the world.
Some are living it up, some are living in an alley, some are running from the mob…
Grin…

We always joke about taking our profits and betting it all especially since starting this year our con will be run in Atlantic City 🙂
