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.
aww, so sadistically adorable.
In other words, how amazingly bitchy.
Yes. Especially the expressions in the last panel.
Nothing like seeing Wayne suffer to put a good spin on your day.
She might even forgive him for waking her up.
“Might”
She’ll only pummel him, not put him in traction.
Today.
The Wayne series has an odd inability to learn, but a profound ability to suffer.
I like how Guy is completely tired and finding out the last peace of suffering from Wane causes her to wake up.
o_o How has no one tried to murder her yet…?
I’m sure many have tried, yet none have succeeded.
Tried and failed. Tried and died.
She is pretty strong or athletic, she has beaten up groups of nerds – her favorite prey – before.
She doesn’t bite of more than she can chew.
Frank has never seen a reason to kill her.
She has never done anything to rise to that level.
She’s not exactly violent. She can be, but more often than not she’s just abusive and a little too lazy to cause excessive harm. She can, but it’s more of a rarity.
ah Guy, you sadistic she-devil… and I mean that in the nicest way possible.
absolutely wonderful, no?
Wait. Does this mean Wayne doesn’t live in the same house as Frank and Guy anymore?
They sleep over at each others house all the time anyway, I’m sure he’ll be fine. Still feel bad for him though XD
Is is wrong to find Guy looking a little sexy in those pink jammies? :P
I think she is, and I don’t give a flying flipping freaky fuck one way nor another about other peoples opinions on my opinion, so feel free to like what you like.
Wrong? That’s purely subjective. And kind of less important than how *dangerous* it is. That’s not subjective at all.
She’s evil ! Damn this is kinda exciting
she’s not evil… just very sadistic…
I’m having trouble grasping the difference.
Sadism is a form of evil (and a step above shadenfreude), but not all evil is sadistic.
Enjoying the pain of others is sadistic, but plenty of evil is created without the intent or enjoyment of such. Callous indifference to others while pursuing other goals which may not by themselves be evil can cause plenty of pain and suffering. But no enjoyment is gained.
The statement wasn’t that every aspect of evil is embodied in Guy; in fact, by the rules you’re giving, that’s impossible. A maximally evil person would have to both pleased by and indifferent to her work. If generosity is a form of moral goodness, I hardly think you would correct someone for declaring a generous action morally good. “Well, you can’t call it good unless it simultaneously displayed every other virtue.” That would be terribly silly and would prevent us from ever using the words at all.], you see?
I mean, you didn’t declare Guy not evil, lol. But this is just why I was confused that someone did.
I didn’t say Guy isn’t evil. To some degree she is. Every sadist is (you can argue with willing sex partners it is about pleasure or giving pleausure and therefore isn’t).
The distinguishing point is that every evil person is not a sadist. In Godfather, Michael is not a sadist. He does evil things to advance his Family and for profit, but does not enjoy what he does, nor does he revel in the pain of others. He actually wants out, but has this position thrust upon him.
So he pursues profit, regardless of the morals that get in the way. People get killed, officials corrupted.
So Guy is less evil than the Coerleones. But she is evil. The gangsters (in those movies) generally not sadists, but are evil.
One can certainly be evil without being maximally evil. Sadism is merely a subset of evil and need not display all its qualities.
I never said that all qualities must be displayed, I don’t know where you got that one from. Your right, I didn’t declare Guy not evil. In fact I outright said she was evil.
Did you see above? William-something is the one who claimed that sadism could be prised away from evil. (And perhaps it could, but certainly not in the way attempted.) That’s what I had a problem with. You and I, on the other hand, seem to be in agreement on Guy’s moral status. You’re arguing past me a little bit.
everyone’s a touch sadistic, some more than others, there is no black and white evil, you both have to understand that. Even those defined as “evil” by the mass public could have alternative motives that are by all meanings “good”
A man who conquers the world and rules with an iron fist, cutting down all forces that rise against him before they fully gather and cuts down his own men who disobeys his orders has created world peace and takes the role as the monster because of it.
reminds me of Hillary from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air:
she kept losing her keys, so she had 30 copies made and had a tag with their address on each in case she lost it (so kind souls could return them)
Ah, I love the smell of suffering in the morning…
Her face in first two panels reminds me of Gaz from Invader Zim.
I bet she stole his keys and have them sitting in a draw or something
Just had that moment where I realized that in about four days, I read every single twogag comic…
My mind has officially melted…
What I don’t get is why Wayne decided he could depend on Guy to take care of his spare keys in the first place? He’d have done better to give them to the first random wino he met in the street.
Have to admit – if Guy was a real person, I’d probably date her. Partly because she’s sadistic, partly because she enjoys bringing pain and suffering to idiots, but mostly because I’m a glutton for punishment.
Oh yea, I know the feeling
I LOVE THIS COMIX AS MUCH AS BUNI AND COMMANDER KITTEN THEYRE ALL THREE LOVELY COMIX AND BRIGHTEN UP MY *gets shot down* life… XD
Gotta love how Guy looks with tousled hair and wearing pajamas.
agreed
