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!

From the level of simmer on him, I’d suspect people would want to run the other way if he was a purple plesiosaur plushie. Accidental alliteration, argh! Btw Trae – 10 points on managing to draw someone that looks that pissed with that wide of a “shot” to draw. I’m kinda impressed with how well the death stare comes through.
I kinda want a purple plesiosaur plushie now…
Oh yeah. Were I at this con, I’d 100% avoid any table with a person behind it giving that kind of death glare. I wouldn’t be surprised if that look had a negative impact on pre-registers and people willing to approach his table, candy or not.
Also, I too would like a plesiosaurs plushie. 😛
I had to look after reading the replies – not going to link it here, but there actually is an Etsy vendor that sells fleece plush plesiosaurs in your choice of color. The internet is a truly amazing thing sometimes. You really can find everything.
Ooh! Maybe once I recover from paying for a Con hotel room … and a Soul of Chogokin Grendizer…
