 Rating: PG-13. (Bloody Violence, Adult themes, and dialogue.) 















































































Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #29 "All Blood Things...: Step Three: Late Night Conversations And Other Equally Important Occurrences" (Un-Iverse #43) 

Gilda's whole bit with Fred the Werewolf is in my opinion, her biggest Crowning Moment Of Awesome so far. She has bigger ones coming, but this one is so great to me because it's both effortless and occurs at a point in the saga you wouldn't necessarily find most other heroes "Taking Care Of Business". Gilda being an utter professional / badass at the point in the story where many other heroes' resolve would be faltering is why I love both Gilda and this story. 

I have to apologize for the Lena Dunham joke. Not to Dunham herself. She sucks and can bite my ass. No, I owe an apology to both the reader and feminists. Regardless of what I think of Dunham, I believe it was immoral on my part to use Gilda to make a feminist rant at the expense of Dunham's feminism. I am a man. I have absolutely NO business telling a woman I am writing a more feminist character than her. That's pure bullshit and me being a shitty feminist ally. So knowing that why do the joke at all? 

Aside from it being funny, I was willing to overstep my bounds with Gilda making feminist rants because I am a little bit sick and tired of how much shame Dunham tries to make me feel for being revolted by her and her antics. Me hating her and "Girls" is genuine. I don't hate her because I'm not into her or I don't understand powerful women. I believe I am entitled to hate a person who confesses in her memoir that she sexually molested her younger sister and uses that as an example of a "funny story". Maybe I don't have license to pull rank about feminism with Dunham. And I sure as hell shouldn't use Gilda to do it. But really, this shit is infuriating, and you are not a bad and shameful person for being properly disgusted with her. That's a normal reaction. 

Someday I'll detail the Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers bit for the reader. Not yet. 

For any women wondering? Meek's "Secret About Men" is 100% true. And I expect to get a TON of shit for it. But guys, think about it objectively. You know it's true, right? You also are aware your genitals are NOT the center of the Universe? I think it's men believing the second thing which confuses them about the first.

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...
