Jeffrey Paul "Jeph" Jacques (/ˈdʒɛf ˈdʒæks/ JEF JAKS) (born June 17, 1980) is an American-Canadian cartoonist who writes and draws the webcomic Questionable Content.

[7] On September 4, 2004, Jacques lost his day job, and decided to try publishing QC every weekday and make a living selling QC-related T-shirts.

[10][11] Jacques launched indietits as an anonymous side project on April 1, 2005, to use ideas that did not fit into Questionable Content's setting.

[12][13] Compared to Questionable Content, it is a simple strip, eschewing detailed art and linear storyline in favour of reusable pre-drawn panels and one-shot jokes.

[citation needed] In September 2014, Jacques launched a new comic, Alice Grove, which updated once per week until the story finished in July 2017.

[14] In March Jacques posted a cease and desist letter he received from Walmart who claimed the website diluted their intellectual property.

[18] The strip revolves around a pair of sentient solar collection satellites (known as "DORDs"), part of a network of 2×1013 similar satellites[19] that were placed around the Sun to gather energy for a civilization that has long since departed,[20] leaving the DORDs to contemplate their purpose and while away vast stretches of idle time.

[28] Jacques states that Deathmøle's style "...started out as a joke- I wanted to write and record a really stupid metal song ... and it turned out to be really fun.

[35] Jacques's relationship to major internet companies has twice gotten him attention from the kinds of high-profile media outlets that do not normally cover webcomic news.

He was extensively quoted in the Washington Post as one of the leaders of the creators objecting to this plan: "Jacques's average patron gives him between $1 and $2 a month.
