That’s one thick book for saying “Don’t give anyone socks or any damn candles.”
Sometime I’m going to publish a book comprised solely with what I’ve written to advertise the Twogag Facebook page.
Twogag has changed storefront, the new site shares the store with a lot of other cool comics that you might also read. So now you can buy merchandise and support several comics while also saving up on shipping costs.
It’ll be a while til the T-shirts will be back however, I apologize for that but there are a bunch of new prints available in the store that wasn’t purchasable in the old one. Be sure to check it out to see if you find anything you like.
Happy shoppin’
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 wish somebody would give me socks for christmas. :(
Gift yourself some socks!
Give them a copy of “How to Give Socks as Gifts” for Christmas.
…For Dummies
I know it’s strange, but wool socks are all my uncle wants for christmas…. every christmas.
Okay, I found this sweet, in the sense that they didn’t get completely awful gifts for each other….
Love the antlers.
Don’t socks usually go in pair’s not packs?
A lot of companies sell socks in packs of pairs.
Socks definitely come in packs (which have pairs within them). Yesterday my Gran bought 6 packs of socks for Christmas, which came out to be 56 pairs!
So… each pack had 9 1/3 pair inside?
…or some of the packs just were different.
Athletic and casual wear socks (for men) often come in packs of pairs.
I love Guy’s line in the last panel! she went the extra mile
When my wife and I had been together for about eight months we encountered our first Christmas together. I bought her a nice little cocktail ring. Three rubies and a couple little diamond chips. She still wears it as often as she can. She got me longjohns and socks. Good thing she’s cute.
I actually don’t mind clothes for Xmas since I rarely actually buy clothes myself.
I gotta say, I had one pair of socks that felt absolutely wonderful, so socks aren’t always bad… but her gift might be helpful too
Is…is that an actual book?
Because that would be amazing.
You know, Google is your friend… But sorry, I don’t think so. Wanna write it?
Out of curiousity, did you mean for that comment to sound as offensive as it did?
If that is a real book I’ll buy several copies.
I’m gonna get me one of those to give it to my parents. |=1
signed, dummy
I like guy, she’s a near perfect girl.
There is a similar book, “Christmas Gifts that Don’t Suck: A Shoppers guide on choosing Gifts that Everyone will Love.” You can buy it on Amazon, but then, what can’t you buy on Amazon?
I can think of some things…
it’s ironic that your icon is frank when you say that.
I think I identify more with Frank any way. I just wish I had all his cool toys.
