About Jeph Jacques

Jeffrey Paul "Jeph" Jacques is an American-Canadian cartoonist who writes and draws the webcomic Questionable Content. Jacques has formerly created the webcomics indietits from 2005 to 2007, Derelict Orbital Reflector Devices and Alice Grove. To further broaden his drawing limits, Jacques created Jephdraw to place unnamed drawings of his onto the Internet. Jacques created the website as a piece of postmodernist "nonsense-art". 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.
