Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
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!

Have we heard about the restraining order before? I don’t remember hearing about the restraining order before.
Also, if he’s the subject of a restraining order against a staff member, wouldn’t that have, in essence, already banned him from the con? I mean, if I had a restraining order against someone, I’d notify the con I work for, and someone on registration staff should have checked their database to make sure he wasn’t on the attendee list.
The restraining order mention is literally how Chapter 8 closes: http://www.unconventional-comic.com/2017/11/breaking-point-murder/
As for the ban — yes, he should have been, but a lot of smaller cons don’t check names for at-door reg, and as they are a couple of hours from the town they live in, Ruth and Sarah may not have thought to inform the reg staff.
Ok, gotta admit I didn’t see that boomerang zooming in behind Terrence – well played sir. Also, it’s not often that you get to see the person being stalked cynically manipulate the process and regulations to make the stalker’s life go to hell – usually rather the opposite.
So ten points for that too.
STOMP HIS FACE!
This is the best comment,
If I gave out prizes, this would win one.
You could take a page from Stan Lee’s book…
And don’t forget to stomp the family jewels too, we don’t need him being able to reproduce. Even if women would no chance in hell, date him, we still don’t need him being able to spread his jerkface genetics. Because sometimes you never know what kind of women might actually give him the time and day.
Okay, so you had them talk about getting one, but not that they did get one. (Moot now that Lynn has said they have it).
Terrence maybe could be in trouble for going to the convention; but only if he knew Ruth and Sarah were/are on staff at this convention. Ruth being in the room merely means knowing she’s there he has to leave/maintain distance. If he neither knew she was at the convention, nor did not see her until Lynn pointed it out, he only has to leave now.
The convention I work with, we do have a permanent ban list, and if any staff member (sometimes attendees, but that ones rare) has someone they need banned or kept away, we expect them to tell us or it’s not our fault if someone they don’t want there shows up. I myself have had to deal with an attendee who she and her ex had mutual restraining orders on each other: whomever got to the convention first, got to stay.
Lynn is counting on the cops not taking his word for it that he didn’t know they were there.
Terrence also doesn’t think the cops will believe him, as he’s not an idiot (just an asshole)
Bluff. This is how you bluff.
I’d worry about cops who’d believe a guy in a Nazi uniform.
when word gets out evey con in the state will pay Ruth and Sara to be on staff to keep F***Boi away from them
Totally forgot about the restraining order!
I suppose you’d call that an “out of court settlement”…
Man I knew that the restraining order was going to come up, I wanted to post about it when you showed his face the first time to ask if it actually had happened.
I am kind of glad I didn’t, because that would have ruined the twist but man I feel smart thinking of that.
I also wanted to note that I thought it was unrealistic no one recognized Terrance… so there is that….
I’m just glad the November story isn’t going to be the trial of Lynn, I was prepping for that depression.
My thought is that no one was looking at his face.
And there is Trae standing there behind Ruth, dumbfounded as to what the hell just happened. That Homestuck cosplayer better have sealed her paint btw. That older man with the goatee also looks dumbfounded. And Jasper of course witnessed nothing or maybe he decided to wash his hands clean because he doesn’t want to testify in court and risk getting banned from any con that Lynn is staffing.
Well played sir, well played. I did not see that coming… to be fair, neither did Terrance.
Garner’s being pretty quiet throughout this conversation. Is he impressed by her at all that she managed to punch him in the face? Or is he just happy to get the guy out of here, I wonder.
Either way, good on Lynn taking her opportunity to punch this guy in the face when she saw she had it.
That or realizing just how goddamn scary she can really be.
TBF these were pretty extenuating circumstances that let her get away with socking someone in the face.
I just noticed something, Jasper has always had his back facing, he’s never show us his frontside.
