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!

hey Julie how’s that black eye lynn’s about to give you feeling?
I’m sorry Trae but that last line made me laugh. I have seen many people come and go and I have seen a lot of friction and I have been around many women that used that word so often to illustrate a point. I told you I’d find humor in this.
Maybe you shouldn’t admit that the grossest thing I’ve ever written in a comic amuses you?
Just a tip.
It’s just a word. The word made me laugh. I live in an area where women call each other whores quite often. Whether they are or not, it’s a word thrown around and that’s what I find funny. Because I have met many 16 year olds that called other women whores.
Langland, that is the most depressing thing I’ve read all day.
It is what it is I guess. I have an oddballl sense humor and I’m not always the most sensitive person out there.
Context matters. There are contexts where a word like that wouldn’t bother me either, but it’s fairly clear that it is being said here with the explicit intent to be hurtful. Whatever context would potentially make it funny, this isn’t it.
