12. Gilda And Meek "The Code" (Un-Iverse #23)

Rating: PG-13. (Partial nudity, sexual situations, crass humor, drug use and references, adult themes).



























































Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #12 "The Code" (Un-Iverse #23) 

There are Dennis Miller Ratio Un-Iverse jokes, and then there are Dennis Miller Ratio Un-Iverse jokes. But if you actually get the Return Of Jafar reference here, this issue is gonna make your day, your week, maybe your year. 99 out of a hundred people reading that will shrug. The hundredth person will swoon with bliss. It's sublime, especially Bernadette confirming to Gilda the truly shameful thing is her recognizing the reference to begin with. Yeah, that's right, everybody who got that joke. Bernadette's calling YOU out! 

Really, Bernadette's entire double-bluff was pleasurable not only for me to write, but I think it will be pleasurable for people who like the comic to read. 

Let me offer you some advice. I shared that story with somebody in meatspace, and he confidentially looked at me upon Bernadette saying "Yes, Mistress," and said "It makes perfect sense she's the mole." 

Don't be that reader. I'm begging you. As long as Gilda has a b.s. detector there is no scenario I could plausibly create a mole within the group without totally shitting on the reader. I think what confused my friend is that popular culture conditions fans to make excuses for and tolerate shitty writing. If I HAD made Bernadette an actual mole, the proper fan response would be to tell me I am the single worst person who ever lived, that my comic is pure shit, and that you hope I have a heart attack and die painfully. ANGER is the proper fan response to a creator treating the viewer / reader shitty, and not enough fans understand that. I am very pleased the amount of shit House Of The Dragon is getting. But I am aware that it's getting as much shit as it is because Game Of Thrones COASTED on shit like that. People saying "The story of Westeros sucks ass," is long overdue in my mind, and a very lonely opinion I had until recently. 

If I EVER treat you that dirty, call me on it. Tell me I am a shitty storyteller and you will never read another single thing I write. 

Why am I putting myself in such a vulnerable position with the reader in saying this? I'm letting you know 100% I will NEVER do you dirty like that. I can make that promise because that's how sure I am. Bank on it. 

This is the shortest Meek's Chiller Theatre and also the most random. It along with "Skeletons" are so far the only stories I have attempted to do in an art style unlike my own. I wasn't TOO crazy about how it came out back in the day, but in hindsight, I think it looks cute.

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...

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...
