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.
>Awesome My Little Pony Link!
Uh oh, you said the ‘P word’, here come the rabid haters.
I don’t get it
her payment was him being happy
same, its really confusing.
He was not happy as promised so she arranged to put him in jail to punish him.
3 images by comic is a challenge.
As said, for once Guy actually wanted Wayne to be happy.
“It would make me all kinds of happy” – Wayne, panel 1.
He wasn’t happy, it was a terrible day.
Panel 3, Guy managed to build a fraud case out of his non-payment – his expected happiness.
The joke goes against type then plays right back into it. Guy has really exceeded her New Year’s Resolution quota though.
exactly, it’s not so hard to understand.
Still took me forever. I had to read Drunken-Novice’s commentary to get it. Then again, I guess I’m pretty tired now, and should go back to bed. Being tired is a bit of a hit and miss when reading funny comics. Easier to be surprised, but harder to spot clever jokes.
Hahahahaha! He got a lil tear drop tattoo!
Or he’s crying.
So lame, Wayne. So lame.
Awww… Guy wants him to be happy… Kind of…
Just an FYI.
Every week I recommend a webcomic on my blog.
This week I recommended Two Guys and Guy,
Check out what I have to say at http://theseizurecomic.com.
Thanks.
From here, you should also see League of Redundant Superheroes. Rickard is one of the artists there. It mixes gag a day with story lines.
Paranatural (.net) is another favorite of mine.
Wow, subtle use of lampshade hanging.
Here Guy is totally in the right. He promised!
So in a psychotic way, Guy lives to make people “happy”.
Dang it, I fell for the link.
Addicted to ‘P word’.
I love his tear tattoo!
On one hand she wants him to be happy, which is sweet, but she’s going about in all the wrong way. In a psychotic way.
Holy crap he does have a tear tattoo!! who did he have to kill to get that?
