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.
Right!
psychiatrist just want money your better off talking to your dog or cat at least they don’t ask questions >.>
You just didn’t offer enough to the other three.
This wasn’t telegraphed at all.
I’ll bet she feels better already! :D
Is it just me, or are you on every single online comic in the world.
I didn’t know paper could shatter and explode into hundreds of pieces~
without the need of shredding or ripping~
I guess Guy has such amazing power and strength~
Look again; the paper is intact. The shards are only from the glass and the frame. ;D
I thought she’d throw it at him, but still pretty nice.
is this.. is this psychiatrist’s office on a ship?
I’m not the only one that thought that? Oh good thought all this psychiatric talk was making me go crazy! What’s with the porthole and hardiplanks Rickard?!
How the hell did he get that diploma? He isn’t even using basic attentive listening skills right. That’s the first thing you learn in counseling.
He sounds like an Eliza chat bot.

I’ve made that move sometimes by now. It’s cool to see the ravenous anger of being helpless, even by the dude you’re paying “to know stuff”.
Lotsofun.
You are the best, Guy!
I love thos seances
Actually it made Guy feel less violent than I would have thought.
But how would a first year psych major have thought that it would have made Guy feel?
The correct answer is “increase your dosage, and maybe try some different medications”
Hahah honestly I would do the same thing if I were Guy.
Sometimes I find the author comments to be funnier than the comic. This is one of those times.
So what else is new?
These court-orders sessions are not working out as well as hoped.
pfft. i could probably get the same amount of therapy from a bartender; costs less too.
