I’ve attempted to write a FAQ a few times but they’ve always ended up not helpful or helpful but depressing. But due to a recent spike in questions I’ve decided to just go for it.
Besides this post, the FAQ also got it’s own permanent page.
Is Guy and Wayne a couple?
- No they’re just friends, if that’s a word you can use to describe their relationship. Frenemies?
Do Frank, Guy and Wayne live together, like are they roommates?
- This is unclear even to me, If a joke requires them to be roommates, then that’s what they are.
What’s Guy’s real name?
- I’m not sure, I haven’t asked.
Hello, I’m a writer and I need someone to draw a comic, I can’t pay right now, (maybe later if the comic sells) but It’ll be good practice and great exposure for you! are you interested?
- No, I got my own stories I would like to tell if I ever got the time. Also those reasons aren’t real.
Do you have any tips on how to start a webcomic?
- Just start it.
No, Really.
I don’t know how to make a website for my comic, can you help?
- Neither did I but then I Googled “comicpress” you should too.
How do you become a professional artist?
- By having people pay you to do art. You can be a professional artist at any skill level, as long as you make a living out of your craft, you’re by definition a “professional artist”.
Of course, the more skilled you are, the bigger the chance of someone paying you. but you need to market yourself, very few artist just gets “found”.
How long have you been drawing?
- I started for real around 2003, then around 2006 I decided it’s what I’d like to do with my life.
Do you exhibit at any conventions?
- I’d like to, I attended San Diego Comic Con in 2011, but I’ve yet to exhibit at any convention. Living in Sweden makes the logistics and expenses very overwhelming.
Some day!
How did you come up with Twogag?
- It kinda just evolved from a vacuum. I only knew what I didn’t want in the comic. I didn’t want Twogag to rely on pop culture references, I didn’t want any self insertion characters and I didn’t want it to be about videogames.
How do I become an artist?
- Draw.
How do I become a writer?
- Write.
I’d like to become better at drawing, got any tips?
- Everybody says this, but it’s the only way, man. Just draw, draw, draw, draw. Sacrifice your gaming, friend and movie time and draw some more.
But something every aspiring artist should ask themselves is; “do I actually like to draw, or do I just like the idea of drawing?”
I want to become a professional webcartoonist, got any tips?
- Love drawing, hate money.
If you meet the above criteria and do create a webcomic, market it. Don’t just post your pages or strips and expect readers to find it.
Do you write your comics beforehand or just free-ball it?
- I generally start out with a vague idea or concept and develop it either in my head or as I write it.
It’s a good idea to remove yourself from distractions such as the internet while doing this. I used to browse sites a lot with the excuse “I’m looking for inspiration.” but that has yet to work.
What software do you use?
- Adobe Photoshop.
What version of Photoshop do you use?
- It doesn’t matter.
What’s the best question you’ve been asked?
- This one.
Will you ever make a FAQ?
- I have a feeling the frequency of this question will subside, but yes.
Wayne Wayne Wayne… makes sense to me.
Wow his parent were pretty creative… or he was was raised by a robot stuck on a loop.
I went to school with a Michael Hawk… He went by Mike… I’ll let y’all figure it out from here.
huh??
I lol’d
… I don’ get it. O_o”
This should give you a hint.
THANK YOU! I laughed SO much. XD
I still don get the one that was mentioned later. What’s funny aboot “Justin Mike”? I’m PRETTY good with english, I’m just normally bad with understanding puns and the such. :)
Say “Justin Mike Hunt” out loud.
http://WWW.Wayne.com?That‘s weird…
Haha. It’s like “Catch-22″, with Major Major Major.
Am I famous now?</egocentric>
And actually, thanks for using this idea anyway. It’s much funnier out of your characters’ mouths than in our comments. I really like this strip. =)
I love this. So. Much.
I went to school with a kid name Justin Michael Hunt. He went by Justin Mike. Think about it.
Okay, Guy is just a drawing…
How do you make her look so hot!?
It’s starting to mess with me too…
I don’t get all of these name comparisons. Except the Major Major Major. But, I don’t get the others.
read the names again, but read them as though there isn’t a space and listen to how they sound… its really quite hilarious when you do. mike hawk, and justin mike. my siblings had a principle who had the most unfortunate name in the world, last name dick, 1st name hairy…
My mom went to teacher’s college (as in her profession would involve children saying her last name) with a woman named Dianne Sharp. Dianne decided to marry a dentist (whose first name escapes me) named Dr. Dick. She then made the worst mistake of her life when she decided to hyphenate her last name.
I know a guy who’s first and last name is Mitchell. I don’t know if he has a middle name or not.
@brohema619 read the names again, but read them as though there isn’t a space and listen to how they sound… its really quite hilarious when you do.
This makes me remember that Mario movie(I know it was horrible that’s not the point) in witch the writers named Mario… well Mario Mario witch some ppl found stupid, but personally why else would they be called the Mario brothers? Riddle me THAT professor! :D
Dude best name ever! And if you think having a redundant name is unfortunate, I know someone who has a sum total of 12 names, and if she keeps her maiden name when she’s married, she’ll have 13. See what actual creative parents can do to you?
ok, now i feel bad for wayne wyane wyane…poor kid
wow, i feel bad for your friend, maryfilipina…i remember one classmate of mine told me that some turkish word have like 100+ letters in them, so she might be turkish?
Of course Guy has to include a put down “not that I care.” yes Guy’s hot, especially in her “book club” outfit!
Similarly, but not the same, I know some twins…
One is Ram Vincent and the other Ven Raymund…
Of course, we never called them by their first name or second name at the same time, so it was always Ray and Ram, Ven and Vin…
Don’t feel too bad, Mario Bros. beat you to it a decade ago, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.
Also – Excel Excel.
Who cares? Haven’t heard that joke before and it’s funny XD
Anyway, joke stealer! :D
I knew a “Gottfried Gottfried the 17th” that got disowned from his family for not naming his first born son Gottfried Gottfried because he hated that name. Imagine 17 generations of Wayne Waynes ;)
I always kinda hoped he was Wayne Kerr…
Okay… imagine your name is Wayne Wayne Wayne. Imagine having to explain this EVERY time you meet somebody, EVERY day of your life. Yeah, your parents definitely had it out for you. That’s almost as bad as “A Boy Named Sue.”
That’s as bad as my youngest uncle. My grandparents ran out of ideas so they named him Thomas Thomas … and yes … his middle name is also Thomas.
I dont get the blue dot that’s always present in Guy’s nose
My cousin’s husband is named, “Richard Bone” … he’s also a JR, so I’m guessing his father was so pissed at growing up with the name he figured he’d force it on someone else as well.
Used to have a friend named “Bob Billy Bob”.
@Koldacid; It’s a nose ring.
his parents must love Batman (lol)
