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.
Lol. Now he will see the end of all EVERYTHING! Must be boring as all hell…
C’mon, it’s Wayne! He should be able to entertain himself with a paperclip and a tube of toothpaste…
And where exactly is he supposed to be keeping said paperclip and toothpase?
In his beard.
I would had said “anus” or “boothole” but your is good too xD
I want to be immortal.
it reminds me of Skip in his dream world
That is one epic beard
Does this mean Wayne won’t die in any more comics?
No. Just this clone won’t die in any strip. The next strip Wayne will be another clone. :D
I think we have to begin to accept that these comics don’t form a canon.
But what fun is that?
And here I was thinking that having an infinite array of clones was a type of immortality.
It is. But it’s not the same. xD
Cloning is genetic immortality, while this is personal immortality. Consider a situation where you’re cloned, your memories are uploaded to the clone’s brain, then you’re killed. The clone is still alive, but YOU are dead.
Except that you’d still be very much alive. If your clone is functionally identical and has all the same memories, that clone is you. So there are two of you until one dies, or is killed as you mentioned.
So it IS immortality, as you won’t notice unless you are made aware (as Wayne so aptly showed) and every clone is exactly the same as you are at the moment your memories are dragged over. The clone may not have experienced the memories it has, but it has the memories, and as such can’t tell the difference.
Science is kind of scary, huh?
Immortal would be awful living beyond the human race and then beyond the end of our Galaxy then finally to the end of the Universe.
Eh, as long as time is destroyed along with the universe, it wouldn’t be too bad.
Time can’t be destroyed.
Its only a concept, it doesn’t really exist, it was our way of naming the order by which things continued.
OR IS IT?!
Yes.
Well, I’m glad somebody figured that out! Really I don’t know why people bother with silly LHCs & stuff when all the answers are on the internet already.
I don’t think you understood what this was all about. At all.
Then let me rephrase: As long as our perspective on the order of things is no longer valid.
Why do people keep thinking that there is any continuity in this comic?
All of these comics take place in the same established canon.
I don’t think they are a canon. The characters are established, in ways. Their interest, their habits, their personalities, but the fact that there are a number of Wayne clones doesn’t seem to be true in any of the strips but the one it appears in, for example. I don’t think these characters are supposed to have fought through multiple zombie apocalypses either. I don’t think they actually wear the same outfits all of the time just because there was “something” living in “the laundry room.” In fact, something as simple as which characters (if any) live together changes from strip to strip.
It is much funnier if everything is canon, sometimes living together, sometimes not.
At least two apocolypses, one certainly created by Frank.
Besides, there are at least two brick jokes.
A series of running gags is not a continuity.
In some ways it can be funnier, and I guess I shouldn’t tell you how to read it (whatever makes you happy), but you can’t take it ALL as canon. Number 19, for example, establishes that Guy and Wayne are both figments of Frank’s imagination, and all of his neat inventions, interactions with aliens, gunfights, murders, etc. would probably be in his imagination as well, if we take it all as canon.
That’s actually a better argument for everything being in canon than not. What better way to show everything changes at a whim than to say that the guy making it up is making it up as he goes along?
I think the immediately preceding strip is intended to explain the apparent discontinuities. It’s all down to the Temporal Quantum Flux Dice.
They are continuous – they’re just all happening in parallel realities. The Mayan apocalypse occurs when all the realities happen simultaneously and the universe implodes.
You need everlasting scissors if you go for immortality.
Well,at least he’s free from Guy’s ass kicking.
dont be sure
to where its conected his beard?, probably his house in earth, and highly probable, guy will wait in there for him back, when she whant kick his ass
If Frank, FRANK! (that’s in italics, bold print, underlined, and larger font size) is asking you to rethink something, then back out.
Even if it might be an experiment in suggestibility.
Immortality is one thing, but how is he growing that beard?
More importantly, how is he able to trim his moustache and eyebrows?
This is why I hate being immortal
May seem horrible to say, but I’d still do it xD I’d rather like drifting in space for a lifetime or two. Who knows, he’ll prob’ly get picked up by some aliens x3
Horrible to watch everyone die; but at least you wouldn’t die of illness or anything and accomplish everything you’ve dreamed of :l
Also, Dat BEARD
Have you even considered how vast the universe is? And depending on the speed he’s traveling with it’s more likely he would drift for several million lifetimes before he got anywhere NEAR a star, let alone a planet. He could be sucked into a black hole, crash onto a desert planet or worse be caught inside a gas giant, where he would remain until that planet was destroyed, then he would drift again. And the odds of landing on a planet, let alone a planet with life, even more unlikely civilized life would be closer to infinity vs 0.0000001. That and if he drifted out of our galaxy into intergalactic space, he could be so far from everything that even galaxies would be just small dots in the infinite darkness around him.
I am rambling, but my point is. Give me a clean death any day instead of this fate :P
The eternal question to accompany immortality, is of course, eternal youth, or no? If eternal youth, not as bad as if you’re stuck a dried up old man for billions of years while you wait for everything in all existence to compress back upon itself in a reverse big bang.
Soo..this makes Wayne the ultimate omega and thus alpha of Mankind, making him god…and inevitably (out of boredom) thus creating another world in his image! WAYNE’S WORLD! Totally called it!
how can he sigh without air?
He’s been holding that breath since the last planet or stellar gas cloud he passed.
Saving it, waiting for just the right time to sigh. He’s got a lot of time on his hands now, a infinite amount to spend crafting perfect little moments, perfect collages of thought, memory, and backtrop. Infinite time contemplating the artistic symbolism of one man’s struggle against the whole universe.
Or maybe he just got tired of holding it.
My only guess is that, Frank finally destabilized the planet and killed everyone but, Wayne. Who shall land on an alien planet and proclaim himself Father Time.
If you are prepared to distance yourself from all human interactions, then immortality might not be so bad. Plus if you are immortal and invulnerable, then maybe a space trip would be in order…
I’d give it a go.
don’t seem that bad
“Sigh…”
…I really should’ve taken that immortality serum.
I’m pretty sure immortality still requires you to eat, breathe, and sleep.
So I’m pretty sure this would never happen in real life.
It depends on the type of immortality. According to tvtropes there are up to 12 different kinds of immortality.
Leave it to Wayne to wander around space naked for all eternity.
I was thinking about that, I figure while Wayne’s body is immortal, his clothes are not, so eventually whatever clothes he wears will degrade and crumble with age and I don’t see any clothing shops in space.
