Welcome To Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse!

Image
My name is Matt Zimmer and I have created a crudely drawn comic book (mostly in the pencil stage) and I have drawn over 50 issues at this point. I will be posting them all on this blog.  What is Gilda And Meek about?  It's about several things at once. It's a story of a Lucky Universe in a Multiverse teeming with Unlucky Ones and how our hero navigates that to her own advantage. It's a funny animal book that bit by bit reveals a huge fantasy and science fiction underpinning, much like Bone. It starts off as an erstwhile comedy until you realize it's actually been a drama the entire time. It's a story that after you read all 90 issues, you'll want to reread them again, as the best reading of The Un-Iverse isn't the first, it's the second. It's a bunch of random and seemingly unrelated characters and stories building and crossing over until they collide in an epic 19-part finale. It's about the antagonistic and loving relationship betwee

9. Lace Doilies "47%" (Un-Iverse #65)

Image
 Rating: PG-13. Strong language, bloody violence and gore, frightening themes, adult themes, discussion of rape, innuendo.  Author's Note for Lace Doilies #9 "47%" (Un-Iverse #65)  I wrote and drew the entire issue in under 24 hours. There are stories there. For later. Check the Linear Notes when the saga is finished.  Like "I Beg You Pardon", "47%" is one of my favorite story titles in The Un-Iverse. It only makes sense in hindsight. And maybe the number in reality doesn't have anything to do with anything in the story but that specific joke. But that specific joke means the story is pretty much ENTIRELY about the number, which is probably why the Narrator is as agitated as he is.  I mentioned in the Author Notes to the first issue of Lace Doilies, that once Meek looks into the camera and says, "There were no outward signs," Donna Demented has essentially filled her entire purpose. I think when Angela here reveals the "Insta-poll&qu

9. F.I.S.H. "One Shall Fall" (Un-Iverse #64)

Image
 Rating: PG-13: Nudity, violence, sexual situations, adult themes.  Author's Note for F.I.S.H. #9 "One Shall Fall" (Un-Iverse #64)  I don't like this issue that much. Honestly, it could have been a LOT worse, and I was sort of robbing Peter to pay Paul in putting off Timmy's loathsomeness a bit in "The Society Of The Broken Egg" and "Druth Hunt" to now, but even if I made it so I didn't have to make the issue deliberately suck (and it doesn't) I still don't love it.  Why? We are SO damn close to "The Terran Wars" now I can fucking TASTE it, and this issue makes me antsy as hell, and impatient to get to the good stuff. My dues are almost paid. It makes sense the last of them go especially hard for me. SO close!  "We're gonna need another Timmy," IS the best Dinosaurs reference in The Un-Iverse. Partly because that line is sort of fringe, but mostly because it fits entirely and is perfect.  Let me level with yo
