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.
I’m surprised she doesn’t deck him one for the subtle insult about her body.
[See comic #143]
If Guy hit the guy, she might spill some beer.
In 143, she deliberately set a trap with Wayne and had her hands free.
well I am not so sure he was meaning to insult her, he just can;t talk to women, he was just trying to get laid.
also I wouldn’t mind spilling that beer, from the color id say that it looks like swill.
Ha! Usually I enjoy Guy’s dickishness because it’s amusing but this time, I’m genuinely impressed.
As we grow more stupider, Guy grows more smarter. Should I be worried?
With that sort of grammar, yes.
What does that mean?
Arcana is talking about your sentence structure.
It should be “As we grow more stupid . . .” or “As we grow stupider . . . ”
and “Guy grows smarter” or “Guy grows more smart”
But since the creator and presumably many readers are not native English speakers, proper grammar is overblown.
Really with the multi-national nature of internet usage grammar can really be harped upon too much.
Except for people who use ‘loose’ when they mean ‘lose’.
That bugs the hell out of me.
I was half expecting her to say something really rude, especially since she /did/ get boob implants.
She /said/ she got implants. That guarantees nothing!
I’m actually surprised she didnt break his nose, or something! Just like the reader above :D!
I may as well stop keeping score here. Guy beats the world by ? to 2 or 3 at the most. All hail Guy, supreme empress of everything.
Just when Guy feels a little flattered (just look at that micsoscopic smile in panel 2) and even makes a not-so-evil reply, the situation has to go down the crapper…
That’s a smirk, not a smile.
Women, even Guy like men who don’t hide their true selves.
<3
Are we ever going to see Guy without a frown again?
Only when she’s hurting someone.
Once and a while it’s nice to be liked for your body instead of your personality. It can really take the pressure off!
it’s not real but it’s half way pay for
Yeah… I’m not really sure if I got the punchline right here.
Hey Guy, would you be interested in a three way with me and Frank?
Sadly, that guy at the bar? That there is me, only I’m genuine. But douchebags like that make it impossible for good guys like me to even get a chance.
No, I’m not complaining, I’ve given that up long ago, just saying it like it is.
So you already go into the game defeated and blaming others?
just a thought…does guy have a piercing on both sides of her nose?
Yes she does. I imagined she had a bar instead though.
Zing! She definitely won this match of words.
Guy doesn’t just shoot people down, she sets them on fire with her mind. And her flamethrower.
