Edited sentence: Jeph Jacques' reminder that Questionable Content takes place in a world very different from our own bears re-emphasizing: the comic seems, in fact, to take place in a callow and narrowly-conceived middle-class hipster fantasy land.No doubt these kinds of glaring contradictions are often perpetrated with the author's glib awareness, for they are signs of the overarching indignity that governs them: the self-satisfied character that Jacques never fails to convey in interviews, daily posts, and his entirely transparent self-identification with his flawless protagonist, Marten.There are no characters of less than model-like perfection in appearance (not even sideline figures or anonymous customers at the coffee shop), no one over thirty years old (or worse, parents whose behavior and values conveniently mirror those of their children), and no racial minorities to be found anywhere beyond the remote periphery of the plot.Those social realities that Jacques does conspicuously engage -- mental illness, poverty, and sexual-orientation based oppression -- are resolved in facile ways: consider Veronica Reed's easy reconciliation with her ex-husband, lesbian Tai's love of Jimbo's hetero-normative trash fiction, Hannelore's unlikely occupation which mocks the debilitation experienced by real obsessive compulsion sufferers, the ease with which the comic's hyper-educated youth reconcile their culture with Jimbo's, and the fleeting token guilt that Natasha feels over her wealthy background
