Frequently Asked Questions

A new case file is filed most weeks. Seasons are written as complete arcs and archived in full once a run closes, so the archive grows in blocks rather than one panel at a time.

Because this is a filing cabinet, not a broadcast schedule. The main J.A.Q. run, LA²SE and the Multiverse are three separate runs filed under one roof, and each keeps its own numbering. Start at any season; nothing depends on having read the previous one.

Yes. Leave an email on the requisition form in the footer and you will be notified when a new case file opens. No tracking, no metrics, no dashboard.

No. J.A.Q. is fiction. MaJESTa Software, Kestrel Dynamics, their employees, products and customers are invented composites. Any resemblance to actual companies or persons is not intended and should not be inferred.

This is the most common question in the archive, and it arrives within one episode of every new reader. The answer is no. If it stings, that is the recognition of a pattern rather than a leak.

Naming it would make it one product. Left unnamed, it is every platform, which is what makes the meetings recognisable.

No. It helps to have sat in a meeting where the decision had already been made and the discussion was the announcement.

They are composites built from patterns rather than individuals: the one who asks, the one who delegates, the one who owns every licence and grants none.

One person, filed under no name. J.A.Q. is written and drawn by a single creator who would rather the work carry the credit than a byline. That is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight, and it is why the strip never points at a real employer.

The opening of every run is open to anyone: the first six episodes of Season 01, plus the first filed episode of the Multiverse and of LA²SE. These are whole episodes, not preview panels, and they stay free.

The full archive across all three runs: every filed season of J.A.Q., LA²SE and the Multiverse, including variant strips and the artwork variants beside them.

Two dollars a month or fifteen dollars a year. Both are handled by the checkout and can be cancelled from your account; access runs to the end of the period you have paid for.

That should not happen. Write to the archive desk through the support page with the file code from the episode card and it will be sorted out.

Yes. The store lists what is currently available and hands off to Redbubble, which handles sizing, pricing and shipping.

Yes, and it may be filed. Reader submissions are collected on the submissions page; accepted pieces are shown there with credit. Send only work you made yourself.
