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.
HA!
As long as I don’t count as a witness, my neighbors can do whatever they want.
Or as evidence. *Shudder*
I don’t even want to know what some of my neighbors do. One is a creepy old guy who is HAM radio operator in his fun time; that makes him seem creepier.
*snort*
Also OH MY GOD your RSS feed has full-sized images now? WOOOOOOOOOO
Yesss!!! Thanks Drunken Novice!
Oh god no don’t put full size images in your RSS.
Unless you added ads?
I’ll never click through and you’ll get no impressions!
Guy looks more concerned and less angry than usual.
I wonder what the contents of a ‘Not a Real Magazine’ are.
Well, whatever the contents are, Guy appears to prefer reading ‘Not a Real Magazine’ from back to front.
And she hogs the cushions too!
Question: Are we hearing Person A then Person B, then Person B again or just the one person the whole way through?
(Not including the screaming.)
Or is it open to interpretation?
(Is Frank talking to himself again?)
“I’m sure there are two sides to this”
i.e. other than the scream you are hearing the one side.
maybe the only sympathy she can show is to other incredibly violent women. in fact, since they are already neighbors, they could hang out, become friends.
“The meat truck? Oh… that’s just part of my job at the slaughterhouse. Care for a tour sometime?”
Of course guy would say that.
Haha, that pokerface expression on Wayne in panel 2.
It looked like Guy from the twogag store ad was saying “look at the mess you made” due to the speech bubble placement :P
Frank’s Guy 1.5 was not nearly as stable as the improved 2.0 version.
Of course, that’s all a matter of perspective.
I love the blood scream in the second panel! XD
We can only hope Frank isn’t involved.
I really really REALLY want guy and wayne to go out
Anyone else find the picture of the heart monitor line in the backround ironic?
Yes, I was going to comment on that.
That is totally not a real magazine.
That’s not the neighbors – that’s Frank and his sentient central computer.
Can’t tell which speech bubble belong to whom, though…
“I’m sure there’s two sides to this.”
Well, if there weren’t before there are now.
It’s like my old neighbout who liked to watch horror movies, with the only sound being the scream and painful death sounds……. wait a minute!
they’ve got a tree in their living room that serves as the target of their anger
Double standard in its finest
I’d believe Guy.
