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.
Ironic is what people do when they are to lazy to form a real opinion.
I thought Wayne would know by now if you ask Guy if she said something nice to him, she’ll troll it back to him.
Maybe every time a Wayne clone is activated it doesn’t have a full memory set :)
With Guy, you are a winner and a loser.
Guy, why do you keep hang out with Wayne?! Is it to have someone easy to harass? You can not tell me that she couldn’t find some one new easily.
Side note: this is one of those situations where she either kills him or they get together, isn’t it?
Aww she indirectly called him a friend in the last panel!
She indirectly called him a good friend in the first panel.
More correctly, she called herself a good friend in the third panel.
Then again, for Guy, a ‘good friend’ could mean someone who’ll clamp one hand around your throat and flatten your face with the other!
You can see guy blushing
No, Guy seems to have red, shiny cheeks ALL THE TIME nowadays. I find that that, and the scowl, tend to make her an unrelatable character. I think the perpetual scowl is okay, but the cheeks thing is kinda weird.
They’ve always been coloured that way- it’s simply more pronounced now.
If you look closesly in the first 2 panels she is blushing because it diminshes in the third panel.
Compare it to your avatar, for instance. Her expression never changes anymore . She doesn’t even express joy over Wayne’s pain.
Check yourself and compare

This strip is the last time guy had screentime before this one.
Pink, shiny cheeks then. I think it’s the “shiny” I’m noticing.
Won the friend lottery? I think he just managed to get $2 from a scratch off ticket.
Closer to two Yen I think.
I enjoy this webcomic. Very much. I wonder what my icon will be this time.
Everyone notices Guy’s cheeks are redder than usual.
I say there’s a just few shots of bourbon in her morning coffee.
Or maybe a few shots of coffee in her morning bourbon. I don’t judge.
Your icon for that comment is perfect!
Is it bad that I find Guy attractive?
Yes it is.
(The whole animation/real life argument aside, as animation is a sort of shorthand based on how our minds remember characteristics)
Best case scenario: You end up like Wayne, with her acting tsundere and afraid to have any positive emotions.
Worst case scenario: You end up having to tell her about the lambs, Clarice.
This strip hit home in a dark place for me. Still, Guy’s friendship is Dark Magic.
I notice that in the last panel, her mug is a little more round
I’ve been following this comic since the summer and it is without a doubt my new favorite! Just wanted to say that. Also, if anyone can recommend some other good comics with this type of humor, I’d be very appreciative!
