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.
Happens all the time :)
Always looking for a reason to hurt Wayne!
Laser Pony: “I have not seen them”
No blind joke on this one ?
Wrong comic…
I can honestly say I’ve never been in a shop that sells a fat-suit.
Then you probably haven’t been in a fat-suit shop.
Wayne your screwed talking to Guy on this one. A damd if you do damd if you don’t sort of thing.
Wayne’s mistake is not running out of the store as soon as he was asked a loaded question.
I plead the fifth!
I hate that question it has plagued male kind for generations T.T
Wayne, you’re in a clothes store. Buy something that’s not a circle shirt.
Also, Guy, you always gotta find a reason to hurt Wayne. Good job. :)
He has other clothes.

there is no right answer, even if you think there is. Not answering is also the wrong answer.
If there is a girl like Guy here, contact me :D
Actually, there is an answer to that question. What he should have said is, “No, it makes it look like you’re wearing a fat suit, and it doesn’t do you justice.” THAT’S how you answer a question like that.
First glance,I thought Guy was pregnant!
Right Answer: “You look good in anything. But I think the other one was nicer.”
Always saves my ass :) .
That’s actually… plausible. It compliments, and answers the question in one fell swoop.
But, that being said, she can come back with “But I think this one is…” or something along those lines.
C’mon Wayne, you walked right the fuck into that one…
Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. Ya neeeeeeever learn, do ya? -_-
Maternal yearnings coming from Guy’s innermost psyche perhaps?
Ha! For a minute there I thought she was pregnant!
You’re not alone, but I did wonder what kind of hellspawn she would have given birth to.
Her child would be Damien Thorn from the Omen.
okay that was entrapment!
Usually “I like you better naked” works well, but in that situation it’s just asking for Guy to kill him more.
You can just about hear Wayne’s gears grinding into reverse in panel two…
IS there ever a right answer to that question?
I’d usually go with “I don’t know, but you look good in it”
As for the comic, maybe “It makes you look pregnant” would be more approriate. But really, how can anyone look fat from wearing something other than a fat suit or a much bigger sized shirt… I guess Wayne just thinks anything’s possible. XD
DAT SMILE, but I think Wayne should have seen it coming.
I just thought of a comic where Frank creates a robot-Frankstien monster for Wayne. Can you do it?
just fuck him already no one want to beat the same guy over and over again and not want to fuck him.
Silly silly noob. The correct answer is “Oh no it doesn’t make you look fat! In fact it looks like your a glowing soon to be mother. I’m impressed how well you pull it off!”
check plz
Thankfully my girl doesn’t ever ask me that question….but the few times I have been asked it? “I don’t care. Wear what is comfortable for you.” The general mental confusion of complete indifference makes the situation just go away.
