FAQ

What does ARG! stand for?

It’s my Initials, Andrew Richard Gregoire. When I started creating artwork I started signing it all with ARG! and it just stuck. Now people actually call me that.

When do you publish the comic?

I aim for Monday to Friday at around midnight. So anywhere between midnight and 2am there’ll be a new comic.

Why an Autobiographical comic?

I started this comic on facebook and then made a website around it. while making characters with a storyline is something I have planned for the future a strip I wanted to get a years worth of “I am ARG!” before I do any other projects. It’s sort of morphed into more than just a Journal or Autobiographical comic, Now all my weird thoughts get translated into comics. If I find it funny and I can make it into a comic, I’ll do it.

Did ____ or ____ actually happen? 

While yes, this is a Autobiographical comic, some things are hyperbolized for Comedy’s sake some things are just funny thoughts in my head. I’ll leave it to you the reader to decide what is what…

What do you use to make your comic?

I’ll get an idea, write it down in my notepad on my phone and then either do a rough thumbnail of my idea in a sketchbook. I’ll take that thumbnail then I’ll either scan or take a picture of it and then scale and arrange it in my panel template in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I’ll then start either fleshing it out with a tighter rough or go straight into lineart if i feel it’s good enough. Sometimes I’ll rough it right in the panel template, forgoing the thumbnail. Then I paint in my greyscales, add my effects and then import into Photoshop for lettering and the final output. The whole thing takes an hour.  I try not to overdo anything or worry about the “perfect” line though I try my best to be as accurate as possible in an hour.

Can you draw me in your comic?

Once upon a time you did a bonus comic “The Studio” while hinting at some more of it. Is it still coming or already somewhere?

I am still working on this. I’ve been taking my time and really working the writing of it and fleshing out the characters.  It is a comic strip I really want to do, as it’s dear to my heart. But because you’re curious, I’ve got 4 strips done and 3 story arcs written. When it does premiere (and again it’ll probably be a while) I’ll announce it big and bright on I am ARG.
