14. Gilda And Meek "The Bug Aliens: Part Two: The Next Phase" (Un-Iverse #25)

Rating: PG. (Adult themes).


































Author's Note Gilda And Meek #14 "The Bug Aliens: Part Two: The Next Phase" (Un-Iverse #25) 

The Narrator getting inside Bernadette's head and going on and on about how Gilda is going to fail is another one of those scenes you would only see in The Un-Iverse and the kind of scene only I would write. Bernadette and the Narrator seem absolutely sure Gilda's plan is stupid, but the reason is never made clear to the reader themself. Only upon seeing her finally fail does the Narrator reveal the plan failed because Gilda doesn't actually suck. And even if the reader is intrigued and kept guessing at the reasons Bernadette was SO sure this plan wouldn't work, it's a uniquely Un-Iverse-style twist in being something that the reader thinks couldn't have ended any other way. It's not an obvious mystery. Until you learn the answer. Then it never could have been anything else. 

While I am tooting my own horn, Meek speaking about "Operas and Laments about The Girl Who Sucked" is the kind of perfect line you can only hear in Gilda And Meek. I am the ONLY writer who has their characters speak that way. Epic and flowery rhetoric to say something ridiculous and mean-spirited. If there IS a selling point to me about Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse it's that a LOT of it is stuff you can ONLY see here. I'm not saying the story has no influences and is not derivative of stuff I loved and grew up with as a kid. But for a LOT of it, its voice is entirely unlike any other comic book, TV show, book, or movie. And I am aware of how rare that fact actually is and am proud of 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...
