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.
I’d definitely tell my [future] wife to check out this webcomic if I was dying.
First!!
I almost expect guy or frank to be somewhere near bye disposing of a knife.
dang it! not first. and with no way to edit comments i just feel embarrassed.
Now I feel bad for stealing your thunder. If I could, I would give up my first place comment so that you could bask in all its glory.
If only I had my time machine…
Maybe I could borrow Frank’s.
awww… that would be so kind of you. but i can live on.
Haha NOT FIRST!
I see. You truly are a soldier, and I salute you for your bravery.
Frank always gets away clean. A simple stabbing is beneath him anyways.
Much is suspected of Frank, none can be proven.
Oh Wayne…
Captain Obvious has a new nemesis: Doctor Blind-to-the-Obvious.
That’s “Dr Oblivious” to you.
I’m sorry. Did someone say something?
He changed his name? Whoa, shows how much attention I pay to things…
When I first saw that guy, I thought he was one of Guy’s ex-boyfriends.
If I die…. tell my wife….. I loved you……
;)
If I die, before I wake. Feed Jake. He’s been a good dog. (random song that comes on the radio sometimes)
I thought you were parodying that one prayer, but I guess the song was. I still found it funny, nonetheless.
“Oh, all right. You’re an ambulance. Now, stop bleeding and laugh!”
I’m surprised he doesn’t ask where she is~
then again I don’t know if he’s one of his friends~
or a random stranger that got stabbed~
For all know is that Wayne was the one that stabbed him~
Somehow, I get the feeling he was lucky – Guy can be bad enough to not consider getting stabbed as an excuse to burden her and Frank would probably seize the opportunity to acquire new “raw materials”…
How come Wayne was the only other person there? o.o
Come on Wayne, just lend him your phone so he can call her. Oh, but call an ambulance first.
Jeez, random person, you can’t expect Wayne to remember every single person he’s stabbed, even if it was only a few seconds ago.
Why would the guy ask the request of his own stabber, Mr. North?
I think the guy would mention it if it were Wayne himself who stabbed him. We don’t usually trust our murderers to pass on messages.
That being said, my respect for Wayne has grown a little: with both of his friends, the reaction to “But I’ve…I’ve been stabbed!” would be “so, what’s your point?” at the very best.
If anything could be considered “cannon” in this comic, I would suspect that Wayne isn’t aware of any true cruelty or murder due to the fact that he’s always being killed and replaced himself.
Truth be known, I’d probably forget to tell her by the time I got home. :P
Not if you were sleeping with his wife.
Yay! :D You’re getting back your thunder! This one actually made my day :)
Been quite some time since these were funny
The interesting Guy-less streak continues!
There’s usually a few people on every strip saying “I don’t get it” and for the first time, I don’t. The question I have: Is the money issue related to the stab would?
and is he dying?
The joke is about how oblivious Wayne is.
First Wayne looks like a jerk for the way he said no. It was a strange request, but still.
Then the reveal shows what Wayne should have noticed all along, and the dying message is totally reasonable in that context.
It flips expectations – Wayne being a jerk (perhaps too much time around Guy and Frank) and the possibility of consequences in panel 3 to Wayne having blinders on.
I have respect for wayne… whatever is wrong with his brain (perhaps degraded cloning stock?) has somehow allowed him to keep some of his humanity.
