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!

Craaaaawliiing iiiiin myyyy skiiiiin
Someone restrain lynn from giving that little brat what she deserves
I CAN NOT STAND fake cristians
No True Scotsman?
It’s not about “real” and “fake” Christians.
The religion doesn’t change people. At most it might give someone an excuse. No, a person is open minded or closed minded, a person is good or bad, a person is hurting or not hurting. And they happen to be Christian or happen not to be Christian.
A lot of the cast of UnCONventional is Christian. It’s just how the demographics work out in this country. Heck, Megan herself is a Christian. But while there are many open minded people of the Christian faith in this country, there are a lot who aren’t.
You don’t get to call them “fake” Christians because you happen to disagree with them. Heck, that minimizes the problem. It makes it not the responsibility of everyone else using the label to deal with those voices. Pretending they aren’t part of the same group actually EXCUSES their behavior.
But hey, I get your sentiment and frustration.
Woah, things are getting intense now.
….yeah, this ain’t gonna end with sunshine and skittles…
I’m curious about the comments in the last two comics referencing ending this with physical violence. I’m in no way a pacifist but in what way would that improve the situation? Also generally that’s not how adults solve their problems.
People always want to see Lynn hit people, even in situations where there’s no way it would be in character for her to do it.
This is gonna be a really rough read this month. phewww.
But people say all sorts of horrible shit in the first day or two of mourning, but she’s still an ass right now.
When I came up with the concept for this storyline, I made myself cry.
So my goal in the writing is “Make everyone feel as bad as I did when I conceived this.”
