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 is damaged goods. Also the sky is blue, and oxygen is important for humans. I can state obvious facts like a boss.
Meh, I see my mom everyday, my older brother is a jackass and I only know two siblings of my mother, out of 11. So I honestly don’t care much for “getting together” during holidays, it’s more of a hassle than anything, especially since we have nothing in common, which result in a lot of awkward silence for not knowing what to say.
His cousins all look very similar to each other~
wait…..they must be clooooonneesss~!
Doesn’t he just have the one cousin? Lars? The one he keeps inadvertently helping through his abuse(outing him as a joke, making that bet that got him to lose weight?)
yeah im pretty sure its just the one cousin
also when did he get him to lose weight? id like to see that comic

Now Lars looks better than Wayne.
Could Wayne’s entire family be one of Frank’s twisted experiments?
Well maybe Wayne avoiding his family is a good thing. He may have been cloned too many times already and outlived all his known relatives.
I think there might be a flaw in your logic, since one of his known relatives is standing right next to him.
Oooh I am lawyered. Then Wayne’s family probably never knew the difference.
Wayne’s hand gesture in the last panel is great! :D
“You” have a family? o_O
That’s shocking…
I’m so with Wayne for this one. Go home only to get dragged into the bullshit alcoholism of the “other family” that isn’t mine =_= it’s such shyte! Just gimme my food tokens and leave me to sleep
Aww, Lars is adorable! He should have his own spin-off comic.
Is it just me or is Lars getting less fat?
i just realized who Frank reminds me of! Octus from Sym bionic Titan!
So that’s why I have this dejavu feeling when ever I see frank.
I am somewhere between slightly to absolutely sure that Wayne’s family tree has some sort of genetic anomaly that allows them to have more than one facial expression.
Like being double jointed, but with your face.
That’s what I was thinking!
Lol, damn all that togetherness.
Death rates of everything except ‘natural causes’ rises during the Christmas/NY period. Wayne might be just playing it safe.
