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.
Bahahaha! God I love you…
I’m sorry, but quite frankly, I’m not quite ready for such a big step in our relationship.
…It’s like I’m seeing a LSD induced epilepsy to the strip…
*epilogue
I like how Guy responds instantly to his statement.
But… how can you tell she responded instantly? I mean, this is a comic, it could have taken her three days to respond and we wouldn’t know!
Well… if three days had passed her response would probably have been in a different panel…there would have been some sort of demarcation…not to mention that it wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t respond right away…
Wayne’s expression in the first panel made me laugh.
And finally Wayne tells them off. sorta…

Is it wrong that I felt that Wayne was like a pathetic, kicked puppy in those panels? And is it wrong that I want him to be like that a bit longer?
I bet Wayne has some thoughts about ‘sucking’ and Guy.
She will get her revenge very soon.
You’re assuming that Guy would let the dude enjoy himself.
I reckon she’d be the ultimate blue-baller.
Black and blue baller.
MEndiofw!!! I do not suck!!! Are you threatening me?!!! Give praise to my bunghole for recompantsiliation!!! mearahh mefefoe grandehhhh
What you don’t see is that Guy actually is doing something without doing something~
without doing something for once causes Wayne into depression mode~
thus succeeding Guy’s plan to make Wayne feel worse~
think on that~!
Wayne sounds like a reverse Kiwi there, saying “No, yeah” where as us Kiwi’s usually say “Yeah, nah” or “Yeah, no”
Uh-huh. Guy has a problem with colloquialisms. Remember the “fraud” strip about Guy not making Wayne “all kinds of happy”?
Haa, I love how analytical every comment is :P
Funny comic.
