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.
Oh my god YES!
LAwl
I thought her conscience would have killed itself by now what a troper
That was a good one.
Ha! Of course, to her, sensible and sane advice is something to worry about!
Reminds me of this:
http://snltranscripts.jt.org/88/88edemons.phtml
I think the fact that Guy’s voices are telling her not to murder and do harm are what makes Guy so scary. And as far as we know, she only has demons to talk to. Is it possible she is so evil even her devils are trying to make her do good?
Maybe it’s just that,if she didn’t murder that one guy,that one guy would do something that allowed her to do even MORE evil in the future.
The demons must be masters of reverse psycology…
Ahh omg, this one made me laugh. Fucking love Guy.
she’s got abnormally large breasts this time. not good.
you have strange ideas about whats “good”
She’s leaning slightly forward. Nothing weird about it.
Brilliant!
Did, . . . , did Frank just do something responsible, ethical, and for the common good?
I
I just don’t know what to believe in anymore.
That’s not Frank. That’s a normal psychiatrist.
Define “Normal”.
Go on, I dares ya’.
Now if you had said a ‘regular’….
“Within the generally accepted boundaries, of the idealized set of behaviors of a random group of people, that are locked in a sealed self-sustaining vault, with no contact to the outside world.”
Oops, I was in a rush when I read this.
Now the question is why she didn’t go to Frank, who would have no conscience in prescribing anything?
Let’s be clear here.
Would you be willing to take ingest something that Frank gave you, based only on his word that it is what you asked for?
Frank never lies, he tells very narrow truths.
That’s one thing some of the guest comics got wrong.
You would have to be exhaustive in defining what negative side effects when asking and realize that he may see it as a Primary or Tertiary effect, but he never lies.
I think he means that Frank put the voices there.
Pills are over rated anyhow.
didnt kno guy had a conscience~
guess i was wrong about that~
but then again, wats controlling her to do evil things~?
About a dozen demons, from a previous strip.
ha, nice
The only good time person has voices in their head LOLOLOL
Interesting. In her normal state of mind, she’s a psychopath. In her psychotic state of mind, she’s conscientious. That’s got to be a new special kind of crazy.
I get along with all my internal voices. I just wish all the external ones would take a break sometime.
YES!
This is literally my favorite strip of this comic.
I love how in the last panel she’s already taking the prescription slightly away from the psychiatrist.
Does Guy have any siblings? Of course I mean any that survived.
He almost cured the wrong thing!
How coincidental, a time in my life I had voices just like that…. but O-O in reverse! Oh, oh this is getting all creepy right about now!
