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!

Wait who…. Looks up Crazy Paul…..
oh wow him, wonder if Josh really works here
*Archive dives the character tag*
Oh, that guy. Wonder if he talked to “Josh” again this time.
Nah, he talked with Terrance. It’s all good.
Also, the comic needs more of Antioch Blunderbus, just for the name.
He is going to get ejected from the con. I just know it.
I took Crazy paul seriously for a moment. Everything on Sarah’s table looks to be backdrop. The sight lines to Paul’s table don’t appear to be blocked.
Undoubtedly Sarah did not look up the con rules for what was an acceptable table and what wasn’t but being eye-catching can’t be against those rules.
I will say her table set up is NOT meant to be backdrop. Her cages are on the table, with a window she and Ruth can be seen through.
It’s a fairly typical setup though.
Cool, I did interperet her setup correctly. Typical, and not blocking sightlines to his table, unless you’re standing at the end of Sarah’s table, trying to look through her setup.
My 2 cents having run dealers rooms, and as feeelthy merchant scum who owns Stupid Amounts of gridwall.
Well, I do have to agree with him, setting up a display that blocks off other booths -is- pretty rude… but I don’t think that’s being done here. Do sorta wonder who he talked to, or thinks he talked to, this time.
Other Josh.
Ahh yes. This.
As Dealers Room head, I’ve seen this exact complaint be made (Though more gracefully) , and folsk have made seating requests to be sat next to people with less ornate displays. I can understand this, but people going vertical before or behind the table is also entirely reasonable. We have rules in our Artists Alley about display height, but in our dealers Room.. well, until you touch the ceiling, you can go high.
I’ve also seen *Guests Of Honor* have setups as terrible as Paul’s and I wanted to weep. People do pay attention to your storefront, and while you don’t have to go elaborate, boy can a good tablecloth and some verticality help, especially when you’re trying to do a lot with a narrow space.
