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!

Whenever Awesome Roy talks, I imagine Atop the Fourth Wall’s 90’s Kid voice.
I had to look up clips to see what you were talking about…
…but yeah, that’s not far off from the voice in my head.
Duuuuuuuude!! It’s the poly bagged variant of “Empire Builder” with the trading card and embossed holo-foil logo!
Really? I imagine Chester A. Bum from Bum Reviews.
Games? Y’got games? Oh, c’mon, help a guy out! GAMES?!
or
Ohmygod this is the
greatestawesomest game EVER!Nope I never forgot Awesome Roy
AwesomeRoy is my favorite character.
So, I started yesterday, around the same hour as now, reading the first strip of this. Besides of being awesome and funny as heck and all(with the necessary spices of sadness and seriousness), I have to know… How does max’s hair works? Does he have the forbidden secret of mickey mouse’s ears perspective? And finally, what would happen with it if two spectators were to look at him in different angles?
1. Max’s hair always points to the right (unless viewed from directly behind)
2. As the artwork in UnCONventional is an abstract representation of their reality, if you were to directly observe Max, he would appear in a much more human form, with hair that obeyed a much more reasonable set of physical rules 😛
