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.
What I like the most is that the ostrich is apparently eating Wayne’s hair on the last panel.
No one going to remark upon the fact that we are witnessing apparently Arctic Ostriches?
OMG, that’s it! I knew there was something odd and now that you mentioned that I noticed it.
Wild artic ostriches in civilized area.
Where is this place?!
Frank’s backyard.
Actually, I’m living in a civilized (although not densely populated) area, there’s an ostrich farm mere 500 m from here and (due to being winter) it’s snowing outside.
(No wild ostriches here in Switzerland, though, but the ones in the comic could be livestock, too. There’s a fence in the background, although not one that’d be any obstacle to an ostrich, I guess.)
Ostriches? …oh my GOD WHAT?
Right? I was really perplexed at first, but then I remembered what webcomic I was reading and just accepted it.
Pretty much.
I guess Wayne succeeded in killing Nature in the last page so now all is disorderly and nuclear winter is slowly setting in.
Going to need as wee bit more dick jokes to catch up to ARG
Ostriches are scary, as well as their cousins the Emu. All large, flightless birds are very fast, very strong, and very mean tempered. An Ostrich or Emu can kick an adult human to death in three blows! Why are Wayne and Guy not running for their lives from these monsters, who are also immune to an avians one weakness; cold. Either these are tamed, or Frank programmed them not to hurt his “friends”.
Weeeellll, emus are not vicious. My family owned a flock when I was a kid. Now, dangerous, yes. I was kicked a few times (You know having to wrestle those birds to the ground to administer medical treatment is HARD), but never because a bird attacked me.
Now ostriches, those are evil. My neighbor owned a flock of those and a male nearly killed him. They tasted good.
It’s such a ridiculous comic you almost forget to think about why the hell are they feeding ostriches? XD
I just figured they were fattening them up. Imagine the drumsticks!
A good penis is worn down to a sliver from repeated use.
I get the distinct feeling that’s what guys with small ones say to justify how cruel nature is to them :)
the one ostrich is all like. I dont care: feed me!
theyre aborable <3
Guy’s eyebrow thing changed into an arch! what a wonderful day for facial expressions!
They have been an arch on strips 117 and 119 too!
Is that the kind of thing urologists tell you? Is that the kind of thing you *want* urologists to tell you?
Only if your urologist is hot and female or if he’s hot and you’re bi or gay.
And even then it’s rather awkward.
This is, obviously, an answer to Durvin’s second question, not the first. The answer to the first question is “No”. Or so I hope.
All of this under the assumption that women don’t have urologists.
Um, my GP once told me I had a perfect cervix.
That was odd.
I’m sad to see our ‘dick joke’ comments tally only up to 3 so far, so allow me to immaturely get the ball rolling…
*clear throat*
HERPADERP HE SAID PENIS!!!~ :v

PEEEEEEEHNNNNNNNIIIIISSSS!!!!
On the flipside, Guy, as long as you’re on the Pill, you can go bareback.
Er no. Guy would know a condom is required to shield against the possible STDs and STIs that come with “pretty penises” that have been around the block.
I was about to explain the joke I made, but I guess if you have to explain it, it wasn’t funny in the first place.
This strip is in honor of Adam the Ostrich , who died 03.02.13 in a Russian zoo. Adam died of hypothermia.
R.I.P Adam
First sex joke between Guy and Wayne, don’t know what to think
#014 – if that counts? Of course Wayne was oblivious…
Am I the only one seeing this?
The ostrich eating crumbs in the first panel looks like a surprised gui with a beard (the beak is the beard and the nostril is the mouth making a (‘o’).
What unholy sorcery is this?!
Mind=blown.
He has a pretty penis? Yeah, pretty small! :P
Why would he hit on Guy anyway, she’d be totally unappreciative of anything.
As Freud said, “Sometimes an ostrich is only an ostrich. And sometimes it’s a huge angry cock. Or a huge angry hen, now I come to think of it.”
Wayne totally misinterpreted his urologist’s sexual advances, didn’t he?
I’m not sure which joke is the secondary… the penis joke or the fact that they are feeding ostriches in what looks like a park in the snow.
Soooo…. Guy likes ugly dicks?
Naah … What matters is that Wayne is humiliated
Ignorants! That ain’t no ostrich! IT’S A ÑANDU!
Also known as rheas!
There appears to be a growing population of Greater Rheas established in Germany. Escaped and breeding since 2000, there might be over 100.
This according to Wikipedia.
I was once told by a woman that mine “looks like a piece of raw meat”. Thanx to this comic I shall now regard that as a compliment.
Just wanted to drop in to say that the art has really been looking alive lately! I can’t quite place what feels different but you’ve been doing a good job, keep it up!
I just dooont get it
so whats the girl equivalent?
Damn, and I was just admiring how awesome my dick looked.
