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.
It’s always Wayne.
Patient Zero!
I love your comic but I feel like it generally rides on the same couple of premises. Have you ever considered doing a story arc? I think that would work fantastically, I would love to read it.
I agree. A story arc would be awesome.
This many comics in, I think it would be strange if there was suddenly a story arc.
It’s never too late to change! I think NerfNow! did the exact opposite at least this far into its own run.
Yes, a story arc now and then would be awesome!
Why is he still standing? Guy has a bat, she sure would not have wasted any time beating him with it, unless she was afraid about getting infected.
I agree with the previous post, a story arc would be nice.
Have you ever tried to get brains out of a t-shirt?
Personally, I think Frank takes more or less precautions depending on what the voices in his head are saying that particular day.
Maybe Wayne has reduced pain sensation due to the infection, and the bat has proven – *gasp!* – less useful than normal?!
Zombies don’t feel pain. You kill them by cutting off their heads or bashing in their brains.
there’s your problem.
im still not sure why do i keep reading this comics if i miss the punchline every 9 out of 10 times e__e…
poor wayne tho :C
The ol’ tie or sock on the doorknob is a common joke or actual thing around college dorms. If there’s one of these items on the doorknob, it means they’re busy with some sexy times and would rather not be disturbed. So he was expecting the tie to work in keeping him out.
Obviously, it didn’t.
Was probably a mistake to assume that Wayne would have been able to go to college and learn this fact
Thanks for clearing that up.
These things can be hard to pick up on, especially for foreigners.
For me, the need to read twice is actually an incentive though :-)
Eat them both, Wayne. Chow down! ^^
“Frank, I can’t see! Where are you? I need help!”
You were supposed to use a solid tie. Really Frank, I’m dissapointed in you…
Exactly. Solid ties claim single ownership of sexy times. “This is for me and my lady/dude, give us some privacy.” Striped ties are an invitation for a threesome. “We’re in the middle of something, but if you wanted to join in she’d probably be cool with that.”
Polka-dot ties, now those are cries for help. “Yeah we’re doin’ this, but I really don’t want to I just feel obligated because of what happened last Saturday. Please, buddy, barge in and get me out of this.”
The rare plaid tie is… well, we don’t speak of that.
Not gonna lie, your reply was one of the most enlightening internet comments I have ever read. I knew the tie meant sexytimes; I did not know the pattern meant certain instances of sexytimes.
You have prepared me for college better than any person, article, or website so far.
This might not work out so well unless your roomies are equally well prepared. Don’t assume all other college students will have read this comment.
Maybe Wayne has never had sexy times with a women, so he doesn’t get the whole tie on a doorknob thing. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the joke here.
My interpretation was that Wayne is a voyeur.
Hmm, either the whole tie on the door knob bit is unknown to Wayne, or he figured the only reason Frank would need some sexy time with a woman might involve experimenting and a shovel later, thus he was trying to save the so called date.
We both know Wayne wouldn’t have thought that far.
Ok. I’m the goofus that didn’t get the whole tie on the door handle thing. Guess I would have ended up like Wayne. :(
Wayne doesn’t have the virus… Wayne is the virus!!! *dun dun shyamalan dun!!!* This is why Frank must make sure to keep the mutant clones in special chambers filled with man-eating ant-eaters.
What now? Men or ants?
I usually put a leather gimp mask on the door knob. It’s so much more effective.
I would use a undies they are effective in that nobody wants to touch a doorknob with those on there.
Well after they fix this time to bring out clone: 5862435
XD As if anyone would’ve believed that XD Of course he walked in.
And like always Wayne is the Beaker of the group, just like Guy is the Ms Piggy and Frank is the green scientist guy whatever his name is.
Is it just me or do I hear the voice for Frank as Dexter’s father in Dexter’s Lab.
It’s just you.
Finally caught up to the latest! Woooooo
I guess I wouldn’t have open the door. The biggest security being the word LAB. Who wants to get in Franck’s lab?
Wow. They (especially Guy) look so different from in beginning of TwoGAG.
I know. But i thinkwayne has changed the most in this one!
Wayne was always liek this. the virus just ate off his makeup.
