10. Gilda And Meek "With A Song In Her Heart / In Which We Meet The Elephantom" (Un-Iverse #21)

Rating: PG-13. Bloody violence, crass humor, sexual situations. Another potentially upsetting one. 
































Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #10 "With A Song In Her Heart / In Which We Meet The Elephantom" (Un-Iverse #21) 

While I have done a couple of Elephantom stories as a kid (including a memorable team-up with Bill the Blue) the Gilda story is an entirely new creation for this iteration of The Un-Iverse. As for all of the ethical quandries at the end, and Meek and Bernadette being devastated at learning what Gilda did behind their back to Vic Puff, for ALL that controversy, for all the upcoming conflict and melodrama attached to it, if you want my honest reaction as to why Gilda did that? It's because he 100% deserved it. 100%. I am NOT my characters, even the characters based on me like Meek or the Piranha, and nothing proves that more than Gilda doing a righteous bit of retribution to keep a suspected pedophile the hell away from Bernadette, being a source of pain for Meek. For me, it's a source of pride. I'm glad she did it. And I'm glad she essentially got away with it. 

The Narf-Narf And Chirp story is also exclusive to this final version of The Un-Iverse. It's very much a premise-based gag story that isn't very funny or well-written. Well, maybe SOME people will find it funny. But the reason I don't find it funny is because all of the jokes are very different types of gags from the rest of the franchise and my sense of humor. The jokes could work on Family Guy or South Park. They feel a bit awkward in Gilda And Meek. 

If I'm being completely honest, I think that story is probably the first (and so far only) story in the entire saga devoid completely of both social and artistic merit. There is absolutely no larger subtext to it. It's simply gross things occurring to gross readers out. And it's effective for that at any rate.

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...
