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.
Where others play god Frank creates them?
Maybe. I can see that the joke’s supposed to be something along those lines, but it is not at all clear exactly what the ‘one’ in Frank’s last line is referring to.
Frank discovered there is no god, the cult leader is disappointed, Frank asks if he could make a god (‘one’) for him.
Had to read through it twice to get it.
Like I said, it’s possible that that’s what was intended, but it’s not clear. First off, Frank didn’t discover that the god doesn’t exist; he discovered no proof of said god. Slight difference there. If his ‘one’ is a callback to that, he’s not talking about making a god; he’s talking about making a proof, which is a little odd, as the phrases ‘a proof’ and ‘one proof’ are typically only used in a mathematical context. It’s also awkward because of all the dialogue between the initial comment about the proof and the final comment about making one.
I thought he was saying he could make a Cult so who knows, the joke is still funny. Frank still making things that he shouldn’t be able to just make XD
Also possible, and a less awkward interpretation. Still, I tend to think that when I have to put this much thought into deciphering an ambiguous punchline, much of the humor is lost, more so when, as in this case, I’m still not quite sure what was intended.
personally thought that it was a referance to the brainwashing chair….God as well. A Wayne is immortal somewhere after all
It is very sure that there is no god of the cult,
I mean the “ancient” text is written on Xenox.
So he is clearly refearing to making a god
It’s possible this was meant to be difficult to interpret, continuing the gag where Frank says “Awkward” after something he has done or said is misinterpreted. Thus, we are being lead to say that this particular strip is awkward and difficult to understand. Then again, that’s just my interpretation on the humor, which I have no evidence as to it being the creator’s intentions.
Hm. I believe he is saying that he will make an actual brainwashing chair.
I can only assume that a cult with xerox scolls does not have a serious brainwashing chair.
Nope. They already have a brainwashing chair and he isn’t worried about it working. Also, look at the cultist’s eyes in the last panel.
Frank is either offering to concoct proof or create a god. It’s Frank, so he is offering to create a god.
Dude designs alien ships FOR ALIENS. He has a gateway to an alternate universe as well as a near real time simulation of his universe. He harvests souls to power his car.
Hell, he can probably whip up a god for the cult over a weekend.
The key is to not let customers know how easy it is to create a god, or god-like being so you can charge them more.
Precisely Ourorboros. It is more than what is in this one episode. It is what we know about Frank’s history from previous installments. Frank is offering to create what he believes to be what a god would be. Or at least what he feels this cult’s god would be.
Feeling inclined to comment on this particular strip, I realised it’s those few occasions I don’t find twogag funny that prompt me to say anything. And that misrepresents my usual, but unexpressed, opinion, so – great comic, drunken novice!
Amen to that. When the punchline does make sense (which it usually does), it’s hilarious.
LOL!!! Frank is the only one who’s do that
Well, Frank always seems like someone who would solve the problem at its source
Frank doesn’t play God…
He simply designs one in his basement (He might have developed a more soul… er, fuel-efficient car, and has some left over).
Well, i think he’s referring to the brainwashing chair – making one for the one which uses it on others, to make him truly believe in his own lies and maybe taking seriously what he now admits no one can.
i tougth one was reference to the “nobody”
Frank’ll probably whip out a catalogue of God Parts, and draw attention to the most popular features: Large white beard, long flowing robes, and many, many tentacles.
Bottom line is, Frank is weird. :P
Mad scientist creating god for Evil cult… reminds me of something.
Mad scientists: always coming up with perfectly reasonable and utterly terrifying solutions to your problems.
This is an interestingly dedicated continuation of frank’s inability to get his point across. I assume he’d be offering to make the cultists a deity, but it doesn’t really hurt the joke to think that he’s just offering a new robe instead XD
Meh, for me it’s clear. Frank offered a brand new god xD I mean c’mmon, he did so much WEIRD and creepy things that at this point, I’ve just thought “Oh, he can make a god? LOL, insaaaaane maaan.”
I’m still wondering where they got these “Ancient Scrolls” that apparently xerox.
As with other posters above, I originally thought “make one” referred to a cult. On second read, I got God, and that was way funnier, but lost the shock value.
In short, remember the Manual of Style? You buried the antecedant.
When ever I read it I get.
I guess I should give up the robe and the brain washing chair because our cult is fake.
I could make a real brain washing chair to help.
