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 once had some sort of power of people and there was an actual level beneath him? The world has changed a lot since he left high school.
So, the teachers and counselors were right about popularity and power?
The only change in the world, from Wayne’s point of view, is Guy entered it.
Are there a bunch of Wayne-babies running around somewhere then?
Sex is a necessary element.
So… No? :D
I’m sure Frank is smart enough to make all Wayne clones sterile.
Well, at least he didn’t get any girl pregnant, right?… right?…..
Whoa, Wayne used to be a bully. Let me take a minute to comprehend this.
Wayne is higher up on the social level? Amazing and his hair was slicked back or whatever. So much has changed Wayne. You should feel bad
Wasn’t Frank around when Wayne and Guy were teens?
Do you really think Frank would correct him?
Frank was around when Guy was a toddler, already an adult, perhaps exiting from an alien space craft.
Wayne came around later. Guy sat next to to Wayne instead of one of her oldest friends and just continued lon.
Actually that glasses-wearing kid is Frank.
Technically, Francis.
The man we know today as Frank was getting a little too well known in his previous identity.
Frank is far too bad ass to get wedgies.
I’m not saying that the kid in this comic is the Frank we know and fear/love.
I’m saying that after he reached a certain age, Frank stole the kid’s identity.
And the kid was never seen again.
I like teenager Wayne. :D
Of course Egypt isn’t in Africa. Otherwise Egyptian-Americans would be African-Americans.
Note: for those of you that think the second sentence is a joke…. it isn’t. Some people really are that dumb.
ummm yes egypt is in africa. its at the topmost part (north africa) and “joins” africa to the middle east
I feel no sympathy for Wayne. Mostly because I was the nerd getting hassled for answers…
How are all you people seeing the comic at all? I see no comic at all. Just white space. Does it take place in a snowstorm? Or is something wrong with Chrome?
I use Chrome and I see it fine.
Do you see any images at all? If you don’t then that could just be something in settings, but if you do except the comic, then… I don’t know.
I see all kinds of images, on this page and others. When I click “back”, I see the previous comic. Just this comic is refusing to display.
I even tried opening just the image, http://www.twogag.com/comics/2012-10-22-TGAG_216_Knowledge.jpg . Snowblind again.
Oh, how deep the mighty has fallen. XD
Let the record show that bullying a tutor is not an acceptable method of learning.
Any teases of ‘sissy’ or ‘girly’ are almost certain to get Missinformation from Mister information.
The truth is that Wayne is actually the nerd and he believed all that crap.
