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

 And finally, a place for the worst thing on the site. This is the First Edition of Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" in all its shame and ignominy. If you do NOT hate me or yourselves, you may skip this utter piece of hogshit (pardon my Gragnock). If you want to see my process (warts and all), and the progressions I have made in both story and artwork over the years, here it is. I am deeply shamed. Ick. 

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

Rating: PG-13. (Some bloody violence and drug use).  











































































June 29, 2021 Postscript

The thing that makes me cringe most about the First Edition of Groundwork? Besides the crappy artwork and visible hand-drawn lettering behind the pasted printed lettering? That hokey Narrator's Note at the beginning explaining meta jokes and humor to the reader. It's like, "No shit, Sherlock." Or more accurately, "Yes, Ted, that was the joke." 

In my defense, I only planned to share Gilda And Meek with a select group of close people in my life who weren't as knowledgeable about genre and its tropes as I was. That intro was never meant for people online and I should have gotten rid of it the second I posted the comics there, and worked out a different intro for The Narrator.  It galls me that this shitty issue has had such a place of prominence on this site since since its inception until as recently as (checks watch)... earlier today. Sheesh. I am truly sorry about this.

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...
