1. The Pontue Legacy "Part One: The Fall Of Finn" (Un-Iverse #9)

Rating: PG-13. (Adult themes and some bloody violence and gore.)











































Author's Note for The Pontue Legacy #1 "Part One: The Fall Of Finn" (Un-Iverse #9) 

A LOT is revealed about the saga in that Prologue. The Multiverse is hinted at for the first time, and it is made explicit The Un-Iverse takes place in an alternate Universe where magic is very rare. And while we don't exactly tell the origin stories for the species of Cats, Dogs, and Humans here, much less discuss WHY there are Mutated Animals in the saga, the Prologue is the first story that makes us aware that those are all questions to be asking, and that we should look to the saga to reveal bit by bit. Don't expect another info dump like this in the future, but these are the right questions to be asking. 

The Narrator being the Narrator means that yeah, he's gotten some of his information wrong. The biggest mistakes he makes in the prologue are him advancing the theory that Augatha is crazy (she most certainly is not). In fact, it's later hinted his version of how she killed her father was wrong on both the motivations and details, which is totally something I feel comfortable misleading the reader about. The other wrong thing he says is suggesting this is the only Universe in which magic exists. False. False. False. The Multiverse makes an instant liar out of him. Yes, magic is rare, and seems to only be present in the cluster of Universes inhabited by various versions of Gilda And Meek. But the amount of Universes that ARE inhabited by them are damn near infinite anyways so as far as errors go, that's probably the Narrator's biggest one ever. 

Just so you know, I am fully aware of how unbelievably offensive the self-sacrificing Black character who dies for the white heroes is. Either I'm an Edgelord asshole who doesn't give a crap who he offends because I love the trope so GD much, and screw you, that's why! OR there IS something else going on. Which do you think is more likely? 

Speaking of old tropes being subverted, if you used to watch ThunderCats as a kid, you'll probably get the last page's random, weird laughing Augatha joke. Hell, get it? I'm betting you'll freaking APPRECIATE it.

Welcome To Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse!

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...

1. Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Iverse #1)

Rating: PG-13 (Bloody Violence and Drug Use).  A Note About The Special Edition Of Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" The first version of Groundwork looked absolutely terrible. I had not drawn in over 15 years when I put it to paper in 2015 and my weak arm and lettering indecisions made the issue look incredibly unprofessional. Not my best foot forward for getting people into Gilda And Meek on this site.  So I've taken the occasion to entirely redo the artwork with some minor script revisions. It looks much closer to my current art style and yet I feel the rough spirit of the first version is still present. As the Groundwork for the canon, it was sort of designed to be the worst issue to start out with, and to be built upon and improved from there. I think it's probably still the worst issue (as designed) but I'm no longer ashamed of the artwork. We'll see if readers agree.  Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #1 "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Ivers...

2. Gilda And Meek "The Otterman Cometh" (Un-Iverse #2)

Rating: PG. Nothing too objectionable.   Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #2 "The Otterman Cometh" (Un-Iverse #2) Two apologies are due the reader. 1. Sorry for the sucky artwork. As the Special Edition of "Groundwork" proves, it DOES get better as it goes along. I hope you won't be TOO concerned about it. 2. I am VERY sorry for Donna Demented. Extremely. Worst character I have ever created and she deeply shames me. The worst part is her upcoming arc is absolutely crucial to the mythology of one of the characters, and I couldn't excise her even if I wanted to. The bad Serial Mom rip-off almost seems to exist to make feminists the butt of some unfunny joke. I swear that isn't really her intention, but she can certainly be read that way. An online friend of mine told me not to feel TOO b...
