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.
Come on people, this isn’t rocket surgery.
No, it’s brain science.
Both of those sound a lot harder to me! (and I do have a clue about rocket science, no clue about brain surgery though)
Actually it’s science surgery on rocket brains.
What a load of Ballistics!
…and electronic engineering, obviously.
lol in the last panel Wayne looks like he is about to say FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Yes,
but on a lame Wayne-way
I have noticed, that since the Great Guest Flood Pandemic happened, there are alot less commentors. This disturbs the comic force that Frank invented in the future. This comment is it’s prediction and documentation.

It could be that you are just looking at the strips earlier. Go back to past strips and count.
It’s not so much a test of Wayne’s intelligence, it’s more to make sure Wayne doesn’t understand Frank’s work…
Welcome back, Rickard!
That would be a rather redundant act.
The keen observer will note that Wayne does not possess sufficient musculature to flip the table.
He instead chooses to flip the paper.
So Frank is breeding the clones to be smarter…is that wise?
Emo Philips once said…
“I always thought the most fascinating part of the body was the brain. But then I realised what was telling me that.” :P
Rocket science isn’t as hard as people think, it’s just the trajectories that throw me off.
Kind’f a bad thing to get wrong though, as my neighbour learned.
On the upside, Yay! Wayne knows what half the symbols are!
This is me on a math test. Or any other test, for that matter.
Shouldn’t that be: “*Aren’t* you done with the IQ test yet?” Was that part of the test? Frank made a mistake?!
No, it works fine as is.
made me think of this
He sounds like Wheatley from Portal 2.
I also thought of the mitchell and webb sketch haha
Did Wayne even spell his name correctly?
There’s a Kim Possible joke here somewhere
I’m no rocket surgeon.
Does Frank look kinda shorter than usual?
He’s just trying out some new legs.
Wayne only knows half the alphabet?
If Frank is so smart, why is he wearing such dumb pants? Cargo pockets need to go on the thighs, not the shins. Otherwise the greater moment arm of walking motion in the lower part of the legs will cause the pockets’ contents to bang uncomfortably against the shins.
Unless you are strapped in to a pilots seat where normal cargo pockets would either not be easily accessible or would impinge on the operation of the anti-G bladder system. You just never know what Frank would be piloting. After all, “it’s just rocket science”.
Frankly, I’m impressed Wayne knows half the symbols.
